What is your favourite Bakery food?

Post by Aliya » 29th Oct, '09, 14:49

If you had a choice what would be your favourite food to buy from a bakery??

What sort of things are your favourites that you might not be able to get in Singapore that you wish you could?

Opening a bakery shop perhaps

Simple answer is good wholesome bread without a million different kinds of crap ingredient added. I also like bread to be a bit more solid and not as sweet as local tastes demand. If you are selling to locals though, you need to cater for their taste.

Cedele is about the only place here that seems to sell decent bread

I read something the otherday that said you should try and buy bread with less than 5 ingredients listed. I went to Cold Storage and looked at some of the Gardenia type bread and there are about 25 things in it!

Nope, deal being done :) Hurry up Baloo and send the costs through!

Seriously though you lot what would YOU like to buy from a bakery. What are your favourites, what sort of bread, what shape, style etc.

If you ask you just might get it!

Seriously ? I've learnt that carbs, especially processed carbs, are not good for you. I avoid bakeries where ever possible.

Sadly all too true. My only source of carbs these days is Oatmeal in the morning. It's done wonders for my abs - but God do I miss the taste and aroma of freshly baked, crusty bread... :cry:

Not sure if its what you want to hear, but I'm not really bothered. I do like pastries & breads, but I don't go out of my way to find particular ones. On the positive side, I don't actually live in Singapore, and I know lots of people in Singapore who took their breads very seriously!

Mr Sate used to go to Freshly Baked at Killney road. They used to make very good grilled chicken but hey took that off the menu.

Their breads are good but I think (and so does the in-laws) that they should learn to slice it thinner...

Their salty crunchy chocolate dessert is good too.
I normally have seasonal cravings for either sweet or savoury things so particular things changes . But if I had to name one item then EGG MAYO! YUM
