Kare Pan

Newly opened bakery and mini grocer so hidden you might walk right by it if you’re not careful! The first floor is a baking/cooking classroom and up a flight of stairs is their grocery shop with some prepackaged bakes available. I tried the curry bun, cheese bread and their brioche, which were all very fresh and delicious. Absolutely love the milky soft texture of the brioche!

I got to know that their freshly baked breads are made using Japanese flour. They are pre-packed so its easy to grab and go, and prices range from $2+ to $4-$5.

Kuih Muih

The best custard bun I have had in a long while. Custard was super fresh and bread was soft without that bitter-baking soda aftertaste that you get with “regular” bread stores.
Thank you for baking good quality items at decent prices.
