Sedap Singapore Series: Bakery Point & Mr. Bean

A Singapore Food Safari Series.







Bakery Point sells various types of bread like egg tarts, muffins, floss, pianono-looking rolls with floss, etc. This store is all over the city, most conveniently located near MRT stations and shopping centres. The kinds of bread here are similar to those being sold at Bread Talk and Bread Society, which originated in the Red Dot. Compared those being sold in Bread Talk, the prices here are cheaper, ranging from a little less than SGD1 to SGD2.50 each, and they pretty much taste the same.



bread on display


Spicy Pork Floss Roll wrapped in Nori with creamy Japanese mayonnaise filling plus more mahu inside = great bread pick!


Fire Floss Roll with Chopped Chives with creamy Japanese mayonnaise filling plus more mahu and chopped chives inside


red bean biscuits


Sweet Tau Sar Piah
-This tasted unusual since it has a red bean paste filling which was kind of dry. I expected a paste-y or a thick consistency, though I liked the texture of the bread since it was flaky and biscuit-y.


Taisan-tasting bread with cream filling topped with mahu


Creamy Egg Tarts - see how they glisten



Mr. (Soy)Bean(ery)


This store sells soya milk


soya blended ice shake coolers,

Sedap Singapore Series: Lor 8 Geylang

A Singapore Food Safari Series.






Singapore is a food lover's paradise, the country where people are passionate about their food and how they eat their food. I was oh-so-ready coming to this country, just as prepared as I was for my comprehensive finals in Pediatrics last semester. Of course, I was not to go in battle unarmed. I researched very well for dishes Singapore is known for; and not just only that, I also sought (electronically) for the right places to get them.





First stop: a small eatery along Lorong 8 Geylang (since this was the nearest, well-ventilated eating place we could find around the area). This was the first meal I took since the take-off in Manila. Geographically, it was just a (gazillion) few steps from our hotel, which was along Sims avenue, Lorong 3 Geylang.






Various dishes to choose from: meats, fish, vegetables, und so weite


I guess this is a hawker stall, basically it is Singapore's version of carinderia or turo-turo. As an outsider, I don't really know what the dishes were but sure they look appetizing and yummy basing from the aroma and texture of the dishes that appeared before me. I just pointed to auntie(fyi: auntie is the term used to address a middle age female in Singapore) the viands I think I would like to eat, as a combo meal, served with rice on a single plate.



Barbecued Pork + Spicy Ribs with rice = SG$2.50

This was my dish. I must say that even though I really don't know what I was pointing then, the dishes I picked were quite scrumptious. They were full of flavor and tasted fresh, or freshly- cooked.



Barbecued Pork + Garlic Kangkong + Something Omelet with rice



Fried Tofu + Garlic Kangkong with rice = SG$2.00


You can choose 1, 2 or 3 different dishes, may it be vegetables or meat. Prices range from SG$2 to SG$4 depending on the combination that you took.


Funny thing is that in order to sit so you can eat, you have to buy drinks from the adjacent drinks stall, since they own the area where the tables were. So I ordered Horlicks. I specifically said for it to be cold slash iced, but I guess the girl didn't understand my trying hard Singlish. So thus, it was served hot, piping hot. When I asked for ice, I was shocked to know that they are selling it, 30SGcents a cup. Whatta. Oh well. I guess they are taking advantage of the hot-slash-humid temperature there. :)

their menu



Since it was still early, decided to eat light, hence, the roti (P55) and mutarbak (P85).




The roti was just one piece but is was good enough for 2 snack- hungry individuals. The bread was crispy outside but was chewy inside--just the right texture. Plus, the curry dipping sauce is in the paste form (unlike the water down-ed consistencies from makan and orchard). It was the best tasking roti among all the places i've tried (makansutra, orchard road), and for its price tag, at P55, it was a steal.




The mutarbak that they serve is the savory type, (the other type is the sweet one) which consists of a filling composed of minced mutton, garlic, eggs, and onions, then served with a curry dipping sauce, for maximum excitation of the tastebuds .




The Milk Tea is typical in these kinds of Asian restaurants. I guess this one would be the number two in my list of milk teas (first: Serenitea's Okinawa Milk Tea)




The Iced Yuan Yang is a combination of Hong Kong style milk tea and coffee. It was sweeter than the classic milk tea, but was still refreshing.
