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?

a can of diet coke

A sickly sweet bun shaped like Hello Kitty

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!

SPAMMER!!!

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.

Sausages!

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...

Run 60k a week, eat loads of bread and still lose weight..

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!

You left before the Butchers opened. Their sausages are pretty good. Might buy some tonight even!

Low GI bread! I'm trying to cut down carbs too and really missing my breadmaker!

Mince and Cheese pies, sallylungs, real donuts (not those stupid round things), lolly cake, lamingtons, decent bread....but it would all have to be exceptionally good for me to go to far out of my way... deliver can lah?

Do I want to know what a sallylung is?

I want to know what donuts aren't round.

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

and any chocolate dessert... preferably of the heavy sort.

A fresh farmhouse loaf sliced one inch thick and toasted, with either strawberry jam or peanut butter.

I only eat bread when there's absolutely nothing else to eat. Urgh.
