Barcook Bakery at Hillion Mall

While the much-raved-over cream cheese raisin buns are amazing, my personal favourite is the Japanese red bean bun -- the red bean is mixed with cream cheese, heightening its flavour. One star off for lack of punctuality though -- went there at 11.45 am (well over an hour after supposed opening) and a sole baker was still doing prep. All the trays were empty. If you'd like your bread fix I'd suggest coming around 12.30; it'll be warm and ready then.

Small but creative bakery that sells high quality bread. Only cash is allowed.

The auntie today at the counter was really nice and friendly!!

A very interesting bakery with creative baked stuff. Rather trendy too as in they are innovative eg kimchi buns as well as other korean inspired flavours. Recently I tried the red bean black sesame bun and instantly fell in love with it. The filling is so yummy with a good proportion of black sesame and red bean to give it the right texture. Definitely better to have this bun than to eat mooncakes. My other favourites would be the pizza bun and the wild berry cheese bun. I don't think that this place is too pricy cos those heartland bakeries are pricing their buns at $1.50 to $2.20 a bun n they are not even that creative. At $1.70 or $1.80 a bun, it is value for money. Flash yr Safra card to get a 5% discount. Highly recommended!
