Brother Bird - Bali Lane


Hi there,
you might be wondering what's with the Kinfolk and 20?
Literally nothing. just a random shot I thought I'll make use for cover #LOL

Well, today I'll be sharing about this dessert I had yesteday!

Yeap.... Fresh!

After quite a number of planning-canceling rounds, I finally had the chance to try this infamous Brother Bird's soft-serve -- with their rice donut -- yesterday. Thanks to my cafe-hopping buddy who came to visit this merlion city!

First, let's see what we ordered:

Chocolate Bowl -- S$13.00
Petit donuts glazed with generous amount of chocolate sauce,
sprinkled with coconut crunch, and [dried] raspberries, we had it served with Taro soft-serve.

Liusa Bowl -- S$14.00
Liusa [Salted-egg yolk sauce] donuts sprinkled with salted cornflakes and dried strawberries,
we had it served with Cookie Butter soft-serve.
Freshly arrived -- Both of 'em.

Beautiful, aren't they?

Now before we talk much about these beautiful desserts, i need to inform you that Brother Bird is temporarily sharing the same place with Stateland Cafe [32 Bali Lane] -- 2 stores beside their previous location [30 Bali Lane] and -- as they're trying to find a new nest for themself.

Now let's head back to those bowls.

As mentioned above, we ordered Chocolate Bowl and Liusa Bowl, both comes with a choice of softserve [There are 2 soft serve flavours available -- Taro and Cookie Butter -- you can choose either one or better yet, mix 'em! :)] served on top of their infamous signature rice donuts.

Soft-serve wise, personally I like their Taro flavour better as it's rich and milky [in a good way] and you know taro and rich milk-y taste goes veeeeeerrrryyyyy well together. The other one -- Cookie Butter -- was okay.. but i guess there's a reason why everybody is talking about the Taro.

Rice donut was certainly not your everyday donuts as it's the chewy kind -- to me [and my friend] it tasted a bit like sweet potato balls [Bola Ubi] we have back in Indonesia. The only difference between the two was that the ones in chocolate bowl was full-thick-chewy kind while the one in liusa bowl was like a thin skin with oozing salted-egg yolk sauce inside. Both was okay, but if i am to choose, I'll go with liusa!

Not pretty, but anyway.. this was the chocolate rice donut. THICK.
That oozing liusa...
Yeap -- I know what you're thinking. #EverythingAlsoSaltedEgg here in Singapore.

Last but not least, I think it's advisable to share a bowl for at min. 2 pax -- Price, calorie, and portion-wise.

We ended up leaving some donuts unfinished.
