Was scrolling around the phone and got to know about the existence of the fairly new Baker RST that is located at Empress Road Market & Food Centre — these folks should be fairly easy to identify considering how they extensively use a shade of blue throughout the entire stall facade; they are also located in one of the corner-most stall units within the food centre closest towards the side of the wet market as well. As the namesake of the stall suggests, Baker RST is a bakery stall — its offerings surround around mini-sized boat pizzas which consists of different savoury fillings that makes for a good light snack, while their line-up of muffins would be the selection of sweet items which they have to offer.
Between the items we had ordered during our visit made on a weekend to Baker RST, it was the Chilli Crab, Prawn, Fish, Cheese Boat Pizza that left an impression with us; we also did feel that their Boat Pizza items are better executed than their muffin offerings as well. For one, the dough for the boat pizza was the element that reeled us in; whilst looking like a mini bread that would probably come with an element of chew, this does come crusty with a good crunch that is similar to some basic pizza crust offerings that more commercialised quick-service establishments tend to serve up — the rendition served up at Baker RST barely being overwhelming given the size of the boat pizza. For the Chilli Crab, Prawn, Fish, Cheese Boat Pizza, we liked how it had captured that tangy, sweet and spicy note that one would associate with the local iconic dish of chili crab; all that whilst the inclusion of melted cheese provides a savouriness that also gels the other elements on the top — the prawns adding an element of bite and a hint of natural crustacean sweetness to the boat pizza as well. Works well as a light munch in the morning or for tea break to be coupled with Kopi / Teh on the side.
