After lunch at Serangoon Gardens yesterday, I bought some old-school buns home for today’s breakfast. Serangoon Garden Bakery & Confectionery takes up two stalls at Serangoon Garden Food Centre.

I love Cedele‘s breads and pastries! But hubby isn’t as impressed. Oh well. They’re a bit pricey, but in terms of quality, you do get what you pay for.

“What shall we have for breakfast tomorrow?” I asked Rick on Saturday evening. “Let’s go to SGH for otah buns!” was the instant and eager reply. Before you think we’re madder than the Mad Hatter to go all the way to a hospital for breakfast, allow me to clarify. Singapore General Hospital is a leisurely [...]

Hot cross buns! Hot cross buns! One a penny two a penny – hot cross buns! If you have no daughters, give them to your sons One a penny two a penny – hot cross buns! Boy does this bring back memories! When I was a kid, I recited this nursery rhyme, all the while [...]

Ok, have lost count of hubby’s breakfasts, let’s just resume at a random number. Located at Takashimaya’s B2 Food Village, Peck is the Milanese equivalent of Paris’s Hediard. However, their freshly baked focaccia and ciabattas seem to be more popular than their tiny selection of pricey gourmet Italian pasta, oils, vinegars, and jams. Most of [...]
