Aiyh… call me a slack at work, or i’m just making good use of my time while i do my deliveries ",
I delivered stuff to the accountant today, all the way at telok ayer st… heavy bag of documents.. and that’s not all… next week i must do a second round! .anyway… SINCE kathleen mentioned once about this bakery at Hong Lim Complex… i decided to find it.. not remembering exactly the name … or address… i only knew it was somewhere behind Chinatown Point my fav hangout haha.. so i quickly walked over!
After a while of walking about.. i knew i was getting near! i could smell bead!!! no kidding.. thank God i didn’t give up (though i was almost late)… i tried to follow the smell… hah it was funny.. i walked back and forth quite a bit… trying to listen to the leading of my nose..no time to waste! haha.. lo and behold! there it was!
Barcook Bakery! ahh.. that’s what it’s called! ahha.. there was nothing left! only one variety… ahh watever.. just BUY! oh man.. i think i finished it in record time considering i wasn’t hungry.. it was a big and super light and chewy bun… light.. so ligth.. not too sweet.. good stuff! perfect for bread lovers like myself… mmm… i’m not sure if i’ve found any neighbourhood bakeries like that… but.. thn again, i only ate one… maybe it’s not fair to judge.. but.. who cares man!! haha..
man.. worth the effort and rush.. and it was HOT! maybe that’s why it’s nice.. people were placing orders for other buns as they were being baked! goodness… too bad i coudln’t afford the time.. i must try their best seller one day… apparently the raisin cheese bun is topss… this woman who was queuing behind me, raised her voice over the counter "i want SIX!" … before i made my order.. haha singaporeans..
oh man, i love the food hunting days… how i wish..

okay, one week later, i’m back at barcook, and i conclude that their savoury buns aren’t as satisfyling as their sweet ones!
