Bang Bread 面包🍞

One of my favourite bakeries in Singapore period. Today the layered Danish pastry of the sugar snail was extra decadent with soft yet detailed “laminated” layers and just the right sweetness from a light sugar coat.
My takeaway for the next day apple cinnamon bun was great lightly toasted, with delicious apple cinnamon chunks and an interesting bread base.

Would order every pain au suisse chocolate I see recently because I am a quite sucker for the fine threads that sings beauty!
The ones I fancy are of course that explained as “plain croissant layered with another croissant with layers facing up” by Mr Holmes Bakehouse. While their rendition did do the bake justice I might have had a better one elsewhere 🫢
As for our chosen cruffin, it came a little dry even without reheating, which wasnt a significant problem with the generous amount of pleasantly sweet strawberry shortcake flavoured cream.
Also whatever beans they were using, my hot long black was “worth every penny I paid”.

Back at La Levain where I was first introduced to pain au suisse chocolate! The ones you find here are the finest as with most of their bakes.
We also had an American cinnamon roll which was a refreshing rendition of the good ol classic for me. Topped with icing sugar a danish pastry swirl was smattered with cinnamon - this was another real treat!

“Ugly Delicious” - ugly photo, of which I take full blame of but delicious sticky cinnamon bun.
In fact this is (IMHO) the best cinnamon bun in Singapore because it’s simple (no cream cheese fan fare needed) yet so gratifying 🥹
Fresh soft white bun with just enough sticky cinnamon syrup ✨

Back to my bread and pastry streak over the weekends and we checked out this new bakery (suited for takeaways) in our neighbourhood.

Resident Baker and owner here offers fuss free classic bread and pastries that bring a lot of hope to the European bread scene in Singapore! We packed a sourdough loaf too which was wholesomely delightful! Looking forward to pay more return visits!

To make yourself less guilty about having Singapore kaya toast, have them with PS cafe’s white ash sourdough toast and pay a premium for it 🤓 Jokes aside this was a nice breakfast item at the longstanding food establishment!

If I could have these everyday I would! So glad a beautiful Paris Baguette had set up shop in the East (for awhile now) after the Tampines one I frequented closed down.

You can trust the S.Korean chain to serve some of the more reliable bread and pastries on little red dot. My go to option when they are often strategically located in malls.

The place needs no introduction as a sourdough centric bakehouse but what I do love too are things like this danish like cinnamon bun and no (or built in) GST and service charge policy that keeps the prices as what is stated :)

When your mum greets you with a Cinnabon that usually has a snaking queue from individuals on to try the new food hype which has not seem to die down for Cinnabon; you thank mum for the love.
While this was a good cinnamon bun with a chewier white bread, at $6.50 a bun it was a good to try once and maybe just once. IMHO softer brioche like cinnamon buns from other local cafe-bakeries any day 😶

On a long dreary work week, I remember the precious slow Saturdays I live for. One recent one at Janie the Bakery, where the bakes are fresh and amazing. All takeaways have to be preordered so I dine in and am seated in the rustic ambience while waiting for my bakes to be served. What other perfect way to wind down a bit on a Saturday?

We of course snagged some Dona Manis banana pie before exiting the mall but Janie now becomes my new mainstay at Katong Shopping Center 😬

One of the better bread hauls from Donq was this coffee chocolate bread with delicious chocolate ribbons within the reliable white bread and a nice cookie crust with chocolate chips. If I’m looking for a sweet bread treat here, the melon pan at Donq remains one of my go tos.
