Opus Deli @ Lau Pa Sat
Opus Deli was recommended by Huiyuan and I must say we have enjoyed the dessert spree at Opus Deli. This bakery has been around for 4 years at a quiet corner of Lau Pa Sat and for the tourists this iconic Victorian filigree cast-iron structure is something one shouldn't miss out when visiting Singapore. The shop is close to the junction of Raffles Quay and Boon Tat Street (popularly known as "Satay Street"), just behind Romanee restaurant and diagonally opposite Prima Deli.
Upon entering this take-away outlet, we were welcomed by the fragrant baking smell whiffing out from their apple crumbles and I can understand why Opus Deli attracts the office crowd to grab some snacks for high tea. For those who have heard of Opus Deli, their niche is to offer "Out of this World Cakes at Down to Earth prices" and their tart-sized Apple Crumble, which was featured earlier this year in the Sunday Times, 100 snacks under $10, is something one wouldn’t want to miss.
Selling at $2 each, the Opus Deli apple crumble was still warm in its core despite our prolonged photoshoot at the non-air-conditioned seats in hawker center. The crumbly pastry, the apple filling and crunchy crumble topping make it simply irresistible and good on its own.
Opus Deli’s apple crumble will appeal to people who prefer to eat pastry crust and crumble topping as its apple filling is pretty little. Because of the little filling, the tartlet base remains crunchy unlike those who has its filling seeped and softened the crust. The thick layer of streusel topping is lightly flavoured with nutmeg and cinnamon and the slight caramelized texture is the winning factor for their apple crumbles.
We bought a couple of Opus Deli's apple crumbles home and the apple crumbles were well-received by our family members.

I love apple crumbles and a crumble at $2 is a steal. What made the Opus Deli apple crumble stood out was the buttery smell and you can eat it on the go. In fact, I ate it the next day for breakfast and it still taste good. Highly recommended.
