New Favorite Bakery in the Heartland - Baker Talent

My #1 most frequently eaten food will be BREAD!  I would say most Singaporeans would opt for bread as daily breakfast due to our busy lifestyle - it is the "easiest" food to get, rather than having to rack your brains everyday over what to buy for the 1st meal of the day.  Almost everyday if not, every other day, I will have bread for breakfast or 'filler' in between meals.

I have recently took up some tuition assignment, which allow me to be more well-commuted outside my residence area.  As such, I keep passing by this shop that sells bread alongside with those neighbourhood shops under one of the HDB blocks.  Its shopfront setting reminds me of Bar Cook, but what really caught my eyes was that it is also a shop which sells bubble tea!

 

Therefore, one of the days, when there is no queue and plenty of bread choices are still available (because honestly, I reaaaaally hate to queue up for my food!! I can faint due to starvation! hahaa), I finally managed to try out 9 out 12 bun selection on separate occasions - HK-style Poluo bun with & without char siew (港试菠萝面包); Lemon cheese bun; Cranberry cheese bun; Golden sand bun (黄金流沙面包); Sesame & peanut paste bun; Mocha bun; Ham bun; & Tuna bun.

First bite into their bun reminds me of those traditional, old school bakery shop whereby the texture is soft and full of fluff (thus you shouldn't put inside your bag & crush it, else it will become very small). 

 

My Top 3 Choice would be the:

(1) Lemon Cheese bun --> a new and refreshing taste with lemony freshness balancing the cheese, even my elderly Mother can eat it!;

 

(2) Golden Sand bun --> only managed to buy this the 2nd time, cos' 1st time the lady in front of me bought the last piece!  When I first bite it, the egg yolk paste did not flow out, so I wasn't expecting the subsequent bite will cause the paste to overflow and nearly make a mess, having to finger-licking myself like a cat.

[*Advice: Best consume on the spot you buy it, while it is warm]; &

 

(3) HK-style Poluo bun --> I would usually choose the char siew type cos it is more filling!  Their char siew are braised red in colour and love the part where it is made of small shreds so nothing will fall out as you eat, and is not fatty nor oily.  The best, is that if you leave it overnight to eat the following morning, the top crust layer is still intact and did not turn all soft with ambient moisture.

 

In general, their bread taste good and definitely worth the price! For ALL breads cost less than S$1 each! Where can you still find such low prices bread that still taste good?!! (So don't expect to have further price slash after 8pm yah!)

 

So if you happen to be in that estate, you know where you can find cheap & good bread (while their daily supply last!!)! *wink wink*
