I find traditional bakeries unique and personalised, unlike the modern bakeries today. Located in a sleepy estate in Semabwang Hills is this bakery which is popular among residents for its variety of yummy buns and traditional breads.
At various times of the day, we could smell the aroma of baked bread fresh from the oven! mmm.......
fresh from the oven, ready to be eaten!
Singapura Bakery and Confectionery started more than 30 years ago. Their age-old methods of preparing traditional type of breads and sweet buns have not changed over the years. The yesteryear decor and pricing in this bakery evoke a sense of nostalgia and bring back memories of my childhood.
Their popular buns are those with red bean, curry and coconut fillings. The small buns cost only $0.60 each, while the traditional white loaves and milk bread cost between $1.20 and $2.20.
these small rolls are great with a cup of hot coffee!
Despite no fancy icing and packaging, regular customers including me love to patronise this traditional bakery for their simple and tasty breads, baked fresh every day. Many of us are passing on the word to friends and relatives .....

ReplyDeleteAloha from Hawaii my Friend!

I like a Swiss bakery near my home. Very delicious pastries and buns. But not cheap.
ReplyDeleteindeed tempting to see the enjoyment of bread, I was so anxious to try it
ReplyDeleteI think I must be the sleeping one for not knowing such good eats. Last time Katong used to have an old old bakery too.
ReplyDeleteyum! yum! i love the aroma of fresh baked bread..
ReplyDeleteI love bread. In fact my youngest was allergic to packaged breads so I learned to bake my own early on.
ReplyDeleteNow I still love to bake, but unfortunately my weakness is I love to eat what I bake and it makes me fat. So I just don't anymore.
But when I go to my friend's home in Germany I enjoy the local bakery and all their fine breads and rolls!!!
I could sit down and eat a whole loaf of warm fresh bread with melted butter. Now I have to go out and find a bakery.LOL
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful weekend.
Nothing like fresh food. Great post for the theme.
ReplyDeleteI love the smell of baked bread.In Katong our fav bakery/pastryshop was ChinMeeChin,don't know if it exists anymore.Recently here there was a fad for home breadmaking machines.Not bad but lacking in variety.Not for PangSiuSees unless Asian version of machine exists.
ReplyDeleteI remember this bakery in the Sembawang estate and I think my mother & aunty raved over something called pangsiusees there.
Even the old-style bakery in hometown is no more already. But still got one in S'pore. How nice. :)
ReplyDeleteI love the smell of fresh bread. Mmmm...
Yum. I would like to try the coconut ones.
ReplyDeletei love freshly baked bread!
ReplyDeleteHi ecl,
ReplyDeleteI wonder if stores like Bread Talk r also mass-produced ? I do like their range of yums :-) Indeed it is a pity that traditional shops with honest prices r diminishing in SG.
Bread is a staple for europeans, so big cities or little towns like ours hv several bakery offering fresh bread 6 days a week. I love the buttery fragrance floating out their stores !
In the old days, those redbean n coconut buns comes in a pack of 4. Nowadays they r sold per piece. It's expensive if u hv to feed a big family :-o
With some hot coffee, these breads make a great breakfast!
ReplyDeleteYUMMY! Your photos are making me hungry ECL :) Great idea for the theme this week. I played too :)
ReplyDeleteyum yum! nothing beats the morning with fresh baked bread!
ReplyDeleteThose would go lovely with some spread of kaya aka coconut jam. :)

Oh yeah, I would love to live close to a bakery, waking up each morning to the scent of freshly baked bread, isn't that heaven now?
ReplyDeleteHope you are feeling so much better.

Great photos ECL. I love the smell of fresh bread.
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend to you.
Now that is definitely the best way to get fresh bread and cakes. Yum!
ReplyDeleteIt looks so delicious and the feeling that it is going out of the oven right now drives me crazy
ReplyDeletethese small rolls are great with a cup of hot coffee! and greater with a cup of tea and some cheese
I will break my diet right now :)
Oh, they look delicious. I love red bean buns and get them here at a little hole in the wall spot though they are the best in town. I can smell the aroma emanating from your post :)
ReplyDeleteWe have a traditional bakery down the street from us and it is well loved by this neighborhood!
ReplyDeleteBakeries are wonderful places!
I love to walk pass by bakery, because of the lingering smell of freshly baked bread!
ReplyDeleteIndeed. Must be yummy huh! :D
ReplyDeleteThank you for this. I didn't know that there is such an interesting place to visit. It's just about 20 minutes bus-ride from my office.
ReplyDeleteit looks good .. the last pic.. fresh from the oven
ReplyDeleteYour post is absolutely great, just in time for me, I drink my morning coffee and eat them virtually ! Looks delicious !
ReplyDeleteyum...yum... I'm hungry now!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the EC Ads!
That bread looks yummy! Reminds me that I have not eaten breakfast!
ReplyDeletePerfect solution for the PH-theme.
Mine's up!

P.S.
Thank you for booking advertising on my widget again!
I too love local (non-chain) bakeries. Am fortunate in that there's about 3 minutes' walk from me that makes really good egg tarts and pineapple buns -- that often are newly out of the oven and pleasantly hot when I go buy them. :)
ReplyDeletewe call these small rolls "pandesal". Filipinos love pandesal in the morning with black coffee. and they smell divine, too!
ReplyDeleteThat´s definitely the best way to get good bread. I also buy med bread at a bakery that makes old fashioned bread, but I have to pay 5 US dollars for a bread.
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend.
oh you just can't beat fresh baking...I can smell those buns all the ways over here!
ReplyDeleteI also love the filled buns, you can get them at some specialty shops in Oslo where they have asian food of course. Hope you are doing my better and healing nicely!! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteoh yeah those rolls looks yummy and so plumpy.. reminds me of that kaya roll that i just saw at the mall today.. oh no, i should've bought those..
ReplyDeletelooks delicious - my mouth is watering :-)
ReplyDeleteTake some with when you meet up with us in Norway in August!
Yum, I love bread! It is must have in our home. I miss going to the bakery to get it fresh out of the oven like I used to when I lived in Puerto Rico. Great entries! Enjoy your weekend!
ReplyDeletefreshly baked bread + coffee = awesome
ReplyDeleteThose rolls do look so good! How nice of you to promote the bakery. :D
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my Photo Hunt! :D
oh, my. makes me want to go to the bakery and buy some fresh bread for breakfast tomorrow!
ReplyDeletelooking at this post, it makes me invite you even more to visit the philippines and try our own food and pastries.
ReplyDeleteThe smell of fresh bread is the most welcoming aroma in the world! I'm getting hungry just looking at the pictures.
ReplyDeleteeverything looks so delicious!
ReplyDeleteI've owned 2 bakeries in my lifetime, never again. Baking everything fresh every day is a monumental amount of work!
That'as a real oven! Some just warm the bread.
ReplyDeletemmm...yummy..freshly bake food is tempting
ReplyDeletei miss the red bean buns! i can still smell it up to now. :)
ReplyDeletei miss this kind of bakery you know. hmmm...
*sorry i only doing my rounds now. still no connection at home. i was only able to comment 2 yesterday and it was gone! :(
I think bakeries use too commercialized machineries to make their goodies nowadays. I love eating home made baked bread and pastries. They taste so much better and different.
ReplyDeleteThe peacock was there during the Deepavali celebration, that's why you didn't see it anymore!
ReplyDeleteYou should try the hot pandesal bread of the Philippines. Yummy!
ReplyDeleteWe had a bakery when I was small...I miss it. We might have our own personal bakery when we move to the Philippines.
ReplyDeleteseeing the breads so freshly baked like that makes me feel like having a bite!
ReplyDeleteI am drooling.. wanna eat those rolls.
ReplyDeleteHi ECL, for additional information in the Philippines there is also small rolls similar to what is shown in the picture and it is also very good with cup of coffee. Try in with margarine it is very tasty, we call it "Pandesal" it cost about S$.01 per piece. If you'll have a chance to visit the Philippines you can ask some bakeries about our famous pandesal. :-) mattscradle
