Even though we came early in the morning on a Sunday, Lune was already packed with hungry people. Luckily there was more than enough pastries for everyone. 


While Mr Piggy was in the line, I took a little peak of what's going on behind the scene. It was fascinating to watch how the puff pastries were handled with so much care and love. 
The pastry chefs seemed to greatly enjoy making the pastries. It was strangely satisfying to watch them skillfully create the pastries. 

Pecan Pie $10.50

A pocket packed with sweet delights - an upscale version of your typical pecan pie. As you bite into it, the crispy shell flakes away exposing the soft, fluffy pastry inside, filled with maple-infused chunky crushed pecans. A generous dollop of airy maple bourbon cream smothered atop - the perfect accompaniment to the pastry.

Lemon Curd $7 (L); Spanakopita $9.50 (R)

We were stuffed at this stage but as Mr Piggy is a big fan of lemon curd, he wasn't gonna leave without piggybacking one for the journey till our next food destination 😂 Lemon curd filled the cruffin all the way to the top. Even for the more sweet-toothed (vs sour) of us, this pastry was very enjoyable as the tartness of the lemon curd was well balanced by the sugar dusted pastry. The citrusy fragrance also helped to cut through the otherwise rich dessert.

Our only savoury pick of the day, the Spanakopita was a simple and delicious swirl, with layers of spinach and ricotta cheese inside. A nice intermission before we move on to the next dessert!

Coconut Rough $10.50 (L); Miso Caramel $7.50 (R)

This coconut rough was almost too cute to eat as it resembled a cute, spiky porcupine... but we weren't gonna let it go. The super crunchy toasted coconut chips juxtaposed the soft, airy bun, and the creamy filling inside. The chocolate and desiccated coconut filling added to the coconut theme. However, it was a little bit too sweet and rich for us, perhaps less (chocolate) would have been more. 
We had to get the miso caramel, a dark cuisine fusion that has come into fashion. We've never tried this flavour and the combination proved unexpectedly outstanding. The caramel was gooey, and alternating levels of smoky saltiness added contrast to every bite. The sugar dusted cruffin had us licking our fingers guiltily at the end of the treat. Oh, and the black sesame crisp on top was a distinctive tribute to the Japanese inspiration, a nice salty-sweet touch.
Looks like Lune has refreshed the menu since our visit, with more interesting flavours. We'll be back!
