These 10 Bakeries In S’pore Serve The Best Bread – And They All Deserve A Toast
Bread is incredibly versatile yet somehow underrated. There’s even a word created solely to describe someone who supports the family (with bread probably). BREADWINNER.
As someone who ranks bread as the top carb of choice, I have pretty strong feelings for bread.

They have everything from tarts and cakes to traditional Swedish pastries and of course, bread. If you’re a sucker for a good brioche or croissant, then you should try the ones here.

Oh, they have this divine Cranberry Cream Cheese Bagel that you NEED to try as well.

If you’re wondering, Konditori is Muslim-owned.
Konditori – Artisan European Bakery This Muslim-owned bakery has a selection of both savoury and sweet sourdough toasts. Go for their Nut Butter With Honey And Sea Salt Toast ($3.50). A thick slice of sourdough toast is slathered with almond butter, generously drizzled with honey and finished with a sprinkling of sea salt. If you’re looking for something more savoury, their Egg Salad with Dukkah and Pickled Onions ($5) is a great option. The thick sourdough toast is topped with a heap of egg salad and garnished with pickled onions. I mean, just look at it. The Bakery By Woodlands Sourdough also has bagels and pizzas on their menu if you’re looking for something more substantial. If you’re planning to visit, go early because their bread sells fast. The Bakery By Woodlands Sourdough Asanoya Boulangerie is a Japanese bakery specialising in gourmet bread and pastries. They combine Japanese flavours with traditional European pastries. Their flagship item is the Fruit Rye made with orange peel, rum raisin, walnuts and almonds. Apparently it’s so popular in Karuizawa that it gets sold out the moment it is displayed on the shelves. A popular item in Singapore is the Croissant Block that comes in various flavours. Like this Creme Brûlée Croissant Block, filled with fresh cream and topped with a caramelised sugar crust. Asanoya Boulangerie Singapore is constantly churning out great quality bread with various seasonal flavours. Head down to any of their 3 branches today! Asanoya Boulangerie Baker & Cook is Singapore’s only true artisan bakery and food store chain by Global Baker Dean Brettschneider. You have to try their Bombolini Donuts aka Custard Donuts. You can choose from either the Jam Bombolini or the Vanilla Custard Bombolini. The donut is filled with custard (or jam) and dusted with sugar, yet somehow isn’t too sweet. If you love your donuts as much I do, then this is it. Baker & Cook Carpenter & Cook is an artisan bakery cafe and vintage home store. While they technically don’t serve bread, they do have amazing pastries. Go for their Passionfruit Meringue Tart ($6.80). This beautiful dainty tart is almost too pretty to eat. The passionfruit’s zest cuts through the sweetness of the tart and meringue so it’s not jelak. This is strictly not for sharing because you’ll want to savour every bite. EVERY. BITE. Carpenter & Cook Prices start from $1.60 for the small size, $2.30 for the medium size and $4.20 for the large size. Their best sellers are the Bacon, Tomato & Egg Mayo, Curry Chicken Sausage & Egg, Banana Chocolate, and Mushroom Veggie. Come between 9 – 9.30am and you might just catch a fresh batch out of the oven! Thai Baàng Bakery If you have not tried anything from Tiong Bahru Bakery, have you truly been living? While the cafe serves up a large variety of bread and pastries, baked fresh daily, their bestseller is the Kouign Amann. The name ‘Kouign Amann‘ is derived from the Breton words for cake (kouign) and butter (amann). This pastry is rich yet not saccharine. I usually buy in bulk because why not? (Actually it’s because there’s no Tiong Bahru Bakery near my place) But my point is that the Kouign Amann here is AMAZING. Don’t say ‘never intro’. Tiong Bahru Bakery Keong Saik Bakery is riding the ‘Dirty Bun’ wave pretty hard. Their recent ‘Dirty Bun’ creations include the Matcha Dirty Bread ($4.50) and the Chocolate Dirty Bread ($4). If you’re done with the ‘Dirty Bun’ trend like I am, go for the Keong Saik Bakery signature, the Sor Hei ($3.80). It’s a black and white danish pastry filled with chocolate chips between the layers. Reminds me of the seaweed chicken I used to buy in the school canteen. Best to come early for the Sor Hei because it gets sold out very quickly. Keong Saik Bakery Swee Heng 1989 Bakery is one of my favourites. I’ve had their bread for dinner on countless occasions because why not? They use fresh ingredients and they have unique flavours for their bread. My favourite is the Mrs. Red Bean which is a red bean bun with cream cheese and a polo bun crust. The Rocky Chocolate is also really good. Chocolate bread peppered with walnuts and raisins. It’s very chocolatey and rich. Drink lots of water after because while the bread is really good, it does leave your throat a little dry. Swee Heng 1989 Bakery Tai Cheong Bakery is well known for their HK Egg Tarts. There’s even a Pandan variation. While their HK Egg Tarts hog the spotlight, another must-try is the HK Polo Bun. If you’re a fan of HK cuisine and their pastries, Tai Cheong Bakery is the place to be.

If You Only Have Half A Day In Singapore, Here Are 10 Places You Must Visit
So you’ve just landed in Singapore for a short weekend getaway.
Splendid choice. Singapore’s a melting pot of cultures so there’re plenty of options to choose from when it comes to food and places to try and visit.
We’ve come up with a list of must-visit places in Singapore regardless of the length of your visit in Asia’s Little Red Dot.
1. Changi Village
Hidden away in the eastern coast of Singapore, on the northern point of Changi, is Changi Village.
[caption id="attachment_34374" align="aligncenter" width="1200"]
Image Credit: Wikipedia[/caption]
It is situated far away from the hustle and bustle of the city, past the industrial buildings and next to the airport runway. The main reason people even come to Changi Village is for the food, and Pokemon Go. Rare Pokemon spawn here apparently.
The place is hard to get to unless you’re driving and it might seem a bit too out of the way to travel to, but the place possesses a quiet charm.
And that’s not all, it’s also a favourite haunt of NSFs who are posted to Pulau Tekong. After all, the SAF Ferry Terminal is just 5 minutes away.
If you’re there, be sure to head to Changi Village Hawker Centre. Don’t miss the International Muslim Nasi Lemak, easily the most iconic dish of Changi Village.
[caption id="attachment_34375" align="aligncenter" width="1600"]
Image Credit: Pinterest[/caption]
Also, hit up 89.7 Supper Club. No it’s not a radio station, but a popular 24-hour halal supper spot. Heads up, they serve really good halal dim sum.
That’s not all, Changi Point Ferry Terminal is also the connecting point for a ferry to Pulau Ubin.
So if you’re looking for some greenery and wilderness, it’s just a boat ride away.
2. Gardens By The Bay
The Gardens By The Bay is one of Singapore’s most popular attractions, and for good reason too. Opened in 2012, the sprawling park is home to some of the world’s most unique plants and flowers.
The Flower Dome is a marvel. Designed to resemble a giant seashell, this cool conservatory houses exotic plants from over 5 different continents.
The Cloud Forest is another spectacle, featuring unique tropical plants as well as the world’s tallest indoor waterfall at 35 metres. The journey through the conservatory will take you through the mist-filled Cloud Walk and you can even marvel at the views from up top on the Treetop Walk.
[caption id="attachment_34373" align="aligncenter" width="6000"]

That’s not all, step into the SuperTree Grove and stroll through the towering Supertrees. It’s almost as if you’re in the world of Pandora from James Cameron’s Avatar.
[caption id="attachment_34372" align="aligncenter" width="4016"]
Image Credit: Unsplash[/caption]
The Gardens By The Bay is easily one of the most prominent attraction in Singapore, opposite the iconic Singapore city skyline.
Don’t forget your camera.
Gardens By The Bay It is Singapore’s largest outdoor art gallery and remains as a treasure trove of Asian culture, philosophy, history and religion. The most iconic attraction in Haw Par Villa is the ‘Ten Courts of Hell‘.

4. Lau Pa Sat
Lau Pa Sat, also known as Telok Ayer Market, is one of Singapore’s most iconic buildings in the Central Business District.
[caption id="attachment_34381" align="aligncenter" width="1200"]
Image Credit: Wikipedia[/caption]
If you’re wondering, ‘Lau Pa Sat’ is literally Hokkien for ‘Old Market’ and it was named so because it used to be a wet market when it was still situated in its original location by the waterfront, before it was moved into the financial district.
It was gazetted as a national monument on 6 July 1973 and converted into the hawker centre that it is today.
The hawker centre is a collection of the best local food. You’ll typically find tourists and executives from neighbouring MNCs having a pint here after work, with an accompanying platter of satay.
The Lau Pa Sat hawker centre also has a 24-hour Cheers convenience store, a shoe repair shop, a laundry store and a tailor.
Your Singapore experience isn’t complete without having at least one meal here.

Opening Hours: Mon: 10am – 11pm, Tue, Thu – Sun: 10am – 10pm, Wed: 10.30am – 9.30pm

[caption id="attachment_34386" align="aligncenter" width="4896"]

The hotel has become the most iconic building in Singapore and one of the must-visit spots is the Marina Bay SkyPark.

6. Maxwell Food Centre
Maxwell Food Centre is easily one of our favourite spots to eat.
[caption id="attachment_34383" align="aligncenter" width="800"]
Image Credit: Dreamstime[/caption]
A few minutes walk away from Tanjong Pagar MRT station, the food centre is a treasure trove of good food.
While people usually queue for Tian Tian Chicken Rice, we suggest that you ditch the queue and go for something more exciting.
Go for gravy goodness at the Hainanese Curry Rice stall or have a healthier meal with the Sliced Fish Soup from Jin Hua Fish Head Bee Hoon.
[caption id="attachment_34385" align="aligncenter" width="645"]

Maxwell Food Centre
Address: 1 Kadayanallur Street, Singapore 069184
7. Mustafa Centre
What initially started out as a store selling readymade garments in 1971 has since grown into a 24-hour, six floor, two-building shopping heaven.
[caption id="attachment_34388" align="aligncenter" width="618"]
Image Credit: Pinterest[/caption]
Your first visit here may feel overwhelming as you’re bound to bump shoulders with tens of thousands of people squeezing their way through Mustafa’s narrow aisles.
You’ll find everything from homeware and electronics to clothes and groceries. With over 3,000 products on sale at bargained prices, you’re bound to fill your baskets with snacks, a random pair of sunglasses and perhaps a kettle that you managed to convince yourself that you’ll “eventually” need.
If you find yourself feeling a little peckish while doing your shopping, there’s a 400-seater restaurant called Kebabs ‘n Curries opened at the rooftop of Mustafa’s spanking new wing. You can enjoy everything from naan to dum briyani without the fine dining price tag.
Mustafa Centre is the one-stop place for everything. Just be sure to control your urge to buy everything while you’re here.

10. Southern Ridges & Henderson Waves Bridge
Singapore has always been known as Asia’s Greenest City and what better way to experience the natural greenery on our island city, than taking a hike on the Southern Ridges, a 10km trail that connects the parks along the southern ridge of Singapore.
[caption id="attachment_34396" align="aligncenter" width="700"]
Image Credit: DiscoverSG[/caption]
The Southern Ridges trail connects Mount Faber Park, Telok Blangah Hill Park and Kent Ridge Park.
Mount Faber Park is one of the oldest parks in Singapore and is connected to Telok Blangah Hill Park by the Henderson Waves bridge.
If you’re looking for great photo opportunities and amazing views of the sunset, keep walking until you reach Henderson Waves bridge.
[caption id="attachment_34397" align="aligncenter" width="640"]
Image Credit: @adventureideas[/caption]
It is Singapore’s highest pedestrian bridge with a unique wave-form design that forms alcoves that double as shelters with seats within.
The wave-forms are lit with LED lamps at night from 7pm to 2am daily, so you can pop by anytime.
It’s quite cathartic to just be there. Do pack bug spray though; mosquitoes are vicious.

From Bak Kut Teh To Bak Chor Mee – 9 Places In S’pore With Halal Chinese Fare
If you’re like me, you’ve always been listening to your Chinese friends go on and on about their Bak Kut Teh and Bak Chor Mee without any way of relating to their experiences.
It’s no great secret that Singapore is a food obsessive’s paradise. Over the years, the halal food scene has grown and now our Muslim friends can enjoy halal versions of authentic Chinese fare.
As much as I love my nasi padang and mee soto, having halal options to authentic Chinese hawker food makes me really happy.
Rejoice my Muslim friends, here’s a list of halal chinese food you can finally enjoy!
1. Bak Kut Teh (Habib Family Restaurant)
Yes, you read that right. There’s halal Bak Kut Teh in Singapore and you’re going to love it.
For the uninitiated, Bak Kut Teh directly translates to “meat bone tea” in Hokkien but it doesn’t actually have tea in it. Instead of pork ribs, the Bak Kut Teh is served with beef or lamb meat in a rich herbal broth.
[caption id="attachment_34244" align="aligncenter" width="900"]
Image Credit: @fizoto[/caption]
The Malaysian-style Bak Kut Teh served at Habib Family Restaurant is made with a rich herbal broth and they’ve been making it for over 15 years now!
The restaurant’s Chinese chef keeps the flavours authentic by using traditional bak kut teh herbs, but substitutes the traditional pork with beef and lamb to keep it halal.
[caption id="attachment_34245" align="aligncenter" width="960"]

You can choose from either Beef ($6) or Lamb ($8.50) meat or opt for the set ($16) which comes with a plate of white rice, omelette, kang kong and sambal belacan.

2. Prawn Noodles (Deanna’s Kitchen)
Deanna’s Kitchen is one of my go-to place for real good comfort food.The owner is a Chinese convert who decided to make her own prawn mee when she couldn’t find anywhere to satisfy her cravings.
Halal prawn noodles in Singapore is not as common yet as they traditionally use pork bones to cook the broth.
[caption id="attachment_34248" align="aligncenter" width="1080"]
Image Credit: Deanna’s Kitchen Facebook[/caption]

‘Udon’ Know Good Udon Until You’ve Tried Inaniwa Yosuke
I don’t think that there are official ‘sides’ to the Udon VS. Ramen argument. If it is even an argument in the first place. But if I had to pick sides, I’m a Ramen fan.
There’s just something about thin yellow noodles that seems so much more appealing than the thick strand of udon. Udon just seems so…much.
Looking at Udon makes me feel like it’s going to be jelak before I even order.
So this weekend, I did something (relatively) brave. My Udon-loving friend found a particular Udon restaurant in Wisma Atria and she wanted to try it.
So off we went on a lazy Sunday afternoon for Udon.
A Hidden Gem
Hidden in plain sight on Level 4 of Wisma Atria, next to FoodRepublic, is the Japan Food Town. If you think this is another “Shokutsu Ten” at Nex or Jurong Point, you’re wrong.
The restaurants here are next level. Deep within the Japan Food Town was our destination, Inaniwa Yosuke.
[caption id="attachment_34217" align="aligncenter" width="1280"]
Image Credit: DiscoverSG[/caption]
The restaurant looked unassuming. Like a run-of-the-mill Japanese restaurant with limited seating and fancy-ish decor.
I went in with a sense of trepidation because I’m a person of habit and tend to stick to what’s familiar and good. I’m really not an udon person.
I ordered the Beef Udon ($16.80) because that was the most familiar flavour besides the Carbonara Udon that was sadly, out of stock. My friend ordered the Wagyu Steak Don Set ($24.80) as well as the Agedashi Tofu ($6.80) and Salmon Sashimi ($10.80) to share.
The first dish to arrive was the Agedashi Tofu. Four large pieces of perfectly tempura fried tofu sitting in a light soy sauce.
This was a delight to eat. The biggest gripe I have with Agedashi Tofu is that their batter becomes soggy very quickly but this one was soft yet crispy with its delicate batter and the soy sauce was not too salty. Basically, AMAZING.
Next was the Salmon Sashimi and each piece was fresh and sliced thick.

[caption id="attachment_34229" align="aligncenter" width="960"]
Image Credit: FourSquare User Janie Chua[/caption]
Not that it’s a bad thing, but the broth was definitely better than I expected. Next, the udon noodles.
The udon noodles here are thinner than the usual thick variety that we’re all familiar with. The restaurant uses Inaniwa-style udon noodles which are thinner and smoother and is handmade every step of the way.
[caption id="attachment_34232" align="aligncenter" width="700"]

I’m definitely going back for more and I recommend that you give it a shot.

10 Best Places To Get Ice Cream And Waffles Because CRAVINGS
There’s always time and place for ice cream and waffles. Honestly, is there anything not to love about waffles?
Trust the perfect waffle and ice cream combination to perk up your dreary week. Here’s a list of the best waffles in Singapore.
1. Twenty Grammes
A sweet aroma of vanilla and milky goodness greets you as you step into Twenty Grammes, reminiscent of late Sunday mornings when a scrumptious brunch of homemade waffles was in order.

[caption id="attachment_34182" align="aligncenter" width="1306"]

Their S’mores Waffle ($15) has got to be one of their best creations yet. The waffles are infused with graham crackers to give it that crispy exterior. Chocolate hazelnut sauce is drizzled all over the waffle along with crushed graham crackers.
Pair it with a scoop of gelato of your choice. Top it off with torched marshmallows and whipped cream. This S’mores Waffle definitely hits the spot after a long week at work!

2. Creamier
This next place hardly needs an introduction. Creamier is everyone’s go-to for great and affordable ice cream and waffles.
[caption id="attachment_34184" align="aligncenter" width="1236"]
Image Credit: Creamier Handcrafted Ice Cream and Coffee Facebook[/caption]
Creamier definitely trumps in the number of ice cream flavours offered. Not forgetting their waffles that are well executed – crisp on the outside and fluffy on the inside. You’ll never get jelak of their waffles and ice cream!
[caption id="attachment_34185" align="aligncenter" width="870"]
Image Credit: Creamier Handcrafted Ice Cream and Coffee Facebook[/caption]
Their freshly churned ice cream is consistently good, and they often introduce seasonal flavours to keep things fresh. We highly recommend their two best sellers – Earl Grey Lavender and Sea Salt Gula Melaka.
Ice cream here starts from $3.50 a scoop, with premium flavours going at $4.50 a scoop.

3. Wimbly Lu
Wimbly Lu is practically synonymous with waffles as it was one of the pioneers behind the waffles craze in Singapore a few years ago.
[caption id="attachment_34186" align="aligncenter" width="1290"]
Image Credit: Burpple User Cafehoppingkids[/caption]
There’s just something about the waffles here that feels so right. You feel instantly warm and comforted once you take a bite of their waffles.
While the waffles may look ordinary at first glance, you know what they say – do not judge a book by its cover. The waffles here are fluffy and light.
We do love their waffle paired with Salted Caramel and Honey Cinnamon Ice Cream – best for a treat yo’self day. You can choose either a single scoop ($8.50) or a double scoop ($11.50) of ice cream to go with the waffle.
Wimbly Lu Shrove Tuesday fully embodies its name with their extensive menu which you can’t help but devour.
Address: Find your nearest location 4. Shrove Tuesday

One of the popular items on their menu would be the Nonya Chendol Waffle ($13.90), which consists of 2 scoops of chendol gelato and vanilla soft serve, topped with Azuki beans, chendol jelly, desiccated coconut flakes before drizzled with Gula Melaka.
If you love your chendol, then we highly recommend you trying it in waffle form from Shrove Tuesday

The magical Unicorn Whoaffle ($14) comes with with a scoop of Lavender White Chocolate and Toasted Marshmallow ice cream atop their chewy Whoaffle.
The horns were all meringue and certainly added to the cute factor of this dish. Whip out your phones because this set is great for the gram’.
Hatter Street This amazing concoction comes with vanilla bean ice-cream, caramelised bananas, milo crumble and drizzled with a healthy amount of milo sauce – a recipe for happiness! Strangers’ Reunion With its mint green storefront and matching pastel furnishing, it comes as no surprise that Lickety stands out from the row of souvenir shops and Middle Eastern restaurants. The star of the show is definitely their Egglet Ice Cream Bouquet (from $8.90). The egglets comes in two flavours – buttermilk and red velvet. You can choose either of these flavours or go ‘half-and-half” if you want the best of both worlds. Lickety carries a wide assortment of flavours ranging from my personal favourite Honey Lavender and Earl Grey and Fig to more localised flavours such as Taro Yam. This dessert is definitely best shared between two people! Lickety If you’re in need of a laid back, messy hair, lazy kind of Sunday, then Sunday Folks is right up your alley. The folks behind this cafe takes pride in concocting their own original recipes and paying homage to the freshness and tastefulness of their desserts. Their desserts don’t just look good – they taste good too! I’ve always loved their Sea Salt Gula Melaka Ice Cream Waffles ($11.80) . You can expect a freshly baked Belgian waffle paired with strawberries and drizzled with maple syrup and chocolate hazelnut sauce. Trust me, the amazing waffles at Sunday Folks won’t disappoint! Sunday Folks Their Chocolate Rootbeer Waffle with Charcoal Vanilla Soft Serve ($12) is definitely a hit among customers. The rectangular waffle comes with a chocolate chip cookie, and an ash grey charcoal vanilla soft serve to top it all off. The charcoal soft serve had a hint of root beer in every mouthful, which does not overwhelm the original vanilla taste. The Cold Pantry Nestled amidst the quiet, laid-back charms of the old Yishun town, Holy Cow Creamery is a great chill-out spot. Escape to Yishun (can’t believe we’re saying this) for your dose of Ice Cream & good times. Enjoy their delicious ice cream concocted in their very own kitchen, paired with crisp waffles. We highly recommend their charcoal waffles if you’re looking for something different from the plain ol’ waffle. Holy Cow (Header Image Source: @twentygrammes)
