Bread Fresh Chong Pang Halal Neighbourhood Bakery

I am a simple man, so easy to please. Get some sweet cake slices, a cup of milk tea in a hawker centre and I am deliriously happy 😁

After our scrumptious duck rice lunch at Chong Pang food centre, we roamed around the shops ringing the market and hawker centre.

Bakers always stop me in my tracks. There were a few here in Chong Pang. Today, we tried out Bread Fresh, and will try others next time.

These kaleidescope colours were from a time when everyday was a happy day, everyone was a happy friend and everything to eat or drink was a treat.

We couldn't afford much back then but now we can have as much of these as we want. Yet, now we hesitate to touch these for "health reasons".

To me, any baker that still makes these today, is a good baker 👍 Thanks for taking us back to our childhood and relive how it felt.

Another throwback, white bread or baguette slathered with kaya, margarine and peanut butter.

Cream horns (cannoncini), Italian cream stuffed pastry.

Pastry horns stuffed with baked apple.

The ubiquitous croissant 🥐

Western bakes like open pies and scones in the Singapore heartlands.

Chinese style bakes such as tau sah piah and siew pau.

Bakers in Singapore (and also Malaysia) often have egg tarts on their menu.

Bakers in Singapore (and Malaysia) also make local cakes like kaya cake, tapioca cakes, ondeh ondeh, etc.

We may not all realise it but typical bakeries in Singapore bring the world from West to East, from traditional to contemporary to us in our heartlands, and into our hearts at affordable prices. They are freshly made and baked too, right there at the shop.
