iCrust, OUG


OUG's bright new bakery-cafe rises and shines with sourdough loaves, croissants and kouign-amann, crafted in miniature portions that'll be convenient for smaller households, with bread in fun flavours like rum with dried longan, extra virgin olive oil with olives, and truffle oil with almonds.

The loaves can be consumed by two persons in a single sitting - prices feel relatively wallet-friendly. The rum with longan is sweet (RM9). olive oil with olives is laced with savoury-briny bits (RM7); truffle oil with almonds is subtly earthy-nutty (RM8).

The flavours are mild-mannered and understated, so for more satisfying results, pair the bread with iCrust's house-made, preservative-free kaya, thoroughly traditional-tasting, creamy and textured.

Pastries like croissants and kouign-amann also come in small sizes but prove substantially dense (RM3.80 for both together).
