Fine Crumbs: Alice Boulangerie New Gourmet Bun Concept Lands

Bonjour, bun lovers and brunch seekers—Alice Boulangerie has landed in Raffles City with a bold new chapter. Opening on 9 July 2025, this whimsical pâtisserie-turned-restaurant unveils Fine Crumbs, a gourmet bun concept that taps into Asia’s current obsession with inventive bakes, alongside a sleek new dining menu designed for indulgent, all-day meals. Known for its cottagecore charm and exquisite viennoiseries, Alice’s second outlet marks its evolution from café darling to full-fledged lifestyle destination, merging artisanal baking with contemporary cuisine in a storybook-worthy setting.

Fine Crumbs: A Bun-derful Debut

Inspired by the gourmet bun wave sweeping through Korea, China and Japan, Fine Crumbs is Alice’s playful take on the trend. Each soft, chewy bun is handcrafted with premium Japanese flour using the traditional Yudane method, fermented naturally for 12 hours and baked without additives, resulting in cloud-soft textures with deep, nuanced flavour.

Prices range from S$3.40 to S$7.70, with seven creative signatures launching first. Expect surprising textures, savoury-sweet mashups and comforting nostalgia in every bite:

• Angus Short-Ribs Bun (S$7.70): 12-hour braised beef tucked into a fluffy matcha bun, with pickled cucumber for bite.
• Mentaiko Prawn Bun (S$5.20): Tiger prawns with creamy mentaiko mayo in a charcoal oat bun, layered with purple cabbage.
• Egg Mania (S$3.80): Creamy egg mayo and caramelised onions cradle a soy-marinated egg in a hearty rye multigrain bun.
• Beef Bulgogi Bun (S$5.70): Korean-style marinated beef glazed in sweet-savoury sauce, served in a corn bun.
• Matcha Nama Bun (S$6.50): A matcha lover’s dream with nama chocolate, mascarpone cream and powdered matcha dust.
• Black Sesame Peanut Mochi Bun (S$4.80): Chewy mochi meets nostalgic peanut pancake in this sweet-salty fusion.
• Pistachio Cream Bun (S$6.80): Decadent pistachio praline and cream in a golden bun topped with nutty crumbs.

All-Day Dining, Reinvented

Beyond buns, Alice Boulangerie’s Raffles City location introduces an elevated dining menu that’s perfect for date nights, solo escapes or group catch-ups. Highlights include:

• Wagyu Beef Tartare (S$26): Hand-cut Bolar Blade with fermented pepper and hot sauce, served with sesame lavosh.
• Prawn Toast (S$22): Tiger prawns with Dijon, mayo and Tabasco atop brioche toast—creamy, zesty and crisp.
• Scallop Crudo (S$24): Sashimi-grade scallops in house ponzu, laksa oil, mango and red chilli for tangy brightness.
• Beef Tongue Skewers (S$22): Charcoal-grilled tongue with green harissa and crispy chicken skin—flavour with a crunch.
• Grilled Chicken (S$48): Achiote-marinated spring chicken grilled and served with sambal cincalok and creamy aioli.
• Aqua Pazza (S$39): Seared smoked cod in tomato sauce with olives, pearl onions and a garnish of crisp fish skin.

Signature dishes from Alice’s first outlet, including the Tiger Prawn Capellini (S$29), and Instagram-famous desserts like the Acorn (S$14) and Squirrel (S$14) remain on the menu, bridging familiarity with fresh innovation.

A Space That Feels Like a Dream

Step inside and you’re transported to a rustic English-Scottish cottage with creeping tree branches, warm stone walls and a whimsical storybook photo spot complete with a red mailbox at the entrance.
