Pause and Admire: The most beautiful fruit on eart

Pause and Admire: The most beautiful fruit on earth. Only God can come out with such an exquisite fruit with such an amazing appearance!

Christopher Columbus, when first discovered pineapple described it as “Fruits like artichoke, four times as tall, fruit in the shape of a pine cone, twice as big, fruit is excellent and can be cut with a knife like a turnip and it seems to be wholesome.”

Chinese New Year in Singapore has almost become synonymous to Pineapple Tarts and Bak Kwa. Every household and every precious gift must include one of these items to their CNY goodie shopping list. Brera uses the best ingredients and incorporated what we think is the most complete & unique pineapple tart taste of all time.

Some interesting facts about the pineapple:
1. In 1496, the Spanish King Ferdinand II tasted the pineapple and declared that “its flavor excels all other fruits”.
2. Pineapple – the fruit that is neither a pine nor an apple, it is called a pineapple because of its resemblance to pine cones.
3. Since the early 1900s, when pineapple cultivation began in the Hawaiian Islands, somehow Hawaii was associated with pineapples. In fact, if some food or drink has pineapple in it, it’s often considered Hawaiian. (yeah - Hawaiian Pizza).
4. By the 18th century, companies in England began to add pineapple motifs to tableware, furniture, paintings and stone-built statues. In the 1600s, pineapples were so rare that only the richest of people would eat them, whoever possess this “King-Pine” is associated with class, taste, and even great wealth. In one of Richard Sheridan’s plays, he used it as compliment: “He is the very pineapple of politeness.”
So what changed over the years to cause pineapples to become some most common fruits? Thanks to the expanding production of pineapple since 1961; 6 countries, namely Costa Rica, Brazil, the Philippines, Thailand, Indonesia & India were the top pineapple producing countries around the world.
5. The pineapple is rich in Vit C & fibre, it contains bromelain, the enzyme that responsibles for that mouth discomfort some may feel while eating this pungent fruit.
Love is like a pineapple, sweet and indefinable.

We caught on with the @marylebonegroup coconut but

We caught on with the @marylebonegroup coconut butter after seeing Mei, her years and years of research and investment in this ‘fruit’ that is so close to her heart. Afterall, we haven’t seen anyone in Singapore that is more passionate about everything coconut than her. That struck us.
We love Kuih Bangkit and so we try to find an alternative to the cookies which could enjoy by many without having the creamy texture sticky all over your teeth. Bingo, we are excited to present you the revolutionary Vegan low GI coconut cookies using the Marylebone Coconut plant-based butter & Alchemy fiber (flour).

As a child, I got some pocket money from selling the peeled coconut. We used the sharp spade standing on the ground and inject the coconut into it and peel off the coconut fibre from the shell. I was pretty good in doing this faster than all other siblings. Occasionally you are lucky to get the tasty “tombong kelapa” (=baby coconut) when you break open an adult coconut. We also made zero-budget broom out of the leaflets to get the sticks and tie them together to become “Penyapu Lidi”, it is very effective in sweeping the dried leaves of a big garden.

Interesting Coconut Facts
• Every bit of the coconut is used. As a result, coconuts are called the “Tree of Life” and can produce drink, fiber, food, fuel, utensils, musical instruments, and much more.
• Doctors during World War II used coconut water in substitution of intra-venous (IV) solutions when the supply was short.
• Botanically, the coconut palm is not a tree since there is no bark, no branches with the trunk being the stem.
• It takes 11 -12 months for the coconut to mature.
• There are over 80 varieties of coconut palms, which are defined by characteristics such as dwarf and tall.
• Coconut growing regions are as far north as Hawaii and as far south as Madagascar.
Tips: trying using this coconut butter for your Nasi Lemak not just bread spread.🙌

Switching channel from Télévision Française to Channel 8, Chinese New Year goodies will soon be the main activity in every station. Two new CNY cookies will be launched end of this week to augment the CNY range. Given the world is still battling with one Covid War, we will be one united people embracing every culture under one roof. What you celebrate I will celebrate. This is home. 😇

Two more weeks - calling parents who have yet to celebrate this French national obsession. Don’t keep your children awaiting – they are enthusiastic about playing the game, wondering and anticipating who will be the lucky one to discover la fève, a tiny figurine, buried inside one of the slices. If you are, you’re “king for the day” and please claim your crown and take your throne!

Friends, colleagues can play the game too and see who gets to be le roi (king) or la reine (queen) - you get to choose a royal counterpart and is tapped to buy the next galette des rois! Wahaha!😝

@szeliang888 is one of the many customers-turned-friends who understood the sweat and the tears that go behind the work of F&B and prefers to remain the unseen invisible quiet support for the many of us. Heartwarming to hear his humbling past and how he got to where he is today. We are thankful that we have countless of such beloved customers playing the QC role for us lovingly. It’s a meaningful project and we have forged a wonderful and caring community in times of chaos. This is one important source of strength that keep us going and want to do well. 🙏🙇

We credit our beloved customers who often took bet

We credit our beloved customers who often took better pictures than us and do more justice to the bakes. Our parents taught us not to eat first before the guests from young and to always keep the best for others. So we have learnt self restraint over food, even if salivating at it. Wait is an important virtue, even God tells us to wait for one another at a meal as some have the habit of finishing off their favourite before others arrived.
Seeing others enjoy your food is what make your effort, be it baking, serving and restraining worth it!
This is one product we will endeavour to serve till the last bite even if we don’t get one for ourselves at the end. It’s ok.
We always enjoy seeing the yummy pictures from the other end!

Epiphany - Jan 6 - on the twelfth day of Christmas

Epiphany - Jan 6 - on the twelfth day of Christmas my true love gave to me the “Galette Des Rois”. The tradition of Galette - commemorates the Magi (the 3 kings or 3 wise men) arrived and presented baby Jesus (the King of kings) precious gifts (hence the name King Cake) exactly on the 12th(last) day of Christmas (wah, long walk for them😏). Some very creative people later came up with the fun game idea and see who gets to be the King of the day. The last slice was supposed to share with the poor. Get the yummy King Cake from @bakerybrera complete with a well loved limited edition Hello Kitty figurine and a crown.
In @kaztan’s own word, see what I found - “my day is complete.”

Matthew 2:11
And going into the house they saw the child with Mary his mother, and they fell down and worshiped him. Then, opening their treasures, they offered him gifts, gold and frankincense and myrrh.

2020 is a test for mankind. In the same way, Brera is being tested in various kind. We are taking our job very seriously and dare not take them lightly for fear of being wiped out from this planet. A few things stood out loud and clear in our mind; People, Community, Teamwork, Generation, Commitment & Family.
We are very very grateful we have a job!
Thank you for the privilege to bake and serve! ❤️
See you tomorrow 1.1.21, 7am to 5pm!

Galette tradition has gone trendy. Starting from 1.1.21, buy Galette Des Rois and you will get a Hello Kitty figurine hidden inside plus a @elleetvire King crown. Do place order early to collect the 10 limited edition cuties.
Be sure to kick up some family fun to play the Galette game and see who gets to be the King of the Day!
Like the 3 wisemen, follow the star, find our website and order the Galette that fits for the King! Found Him!

This is one of the few times we take two days off.

This is one of the few times we take two days off. Not because I am a “slave driver”😖, but you know dealing with dough work is a little tricky. They are living things like your pets and need a lot of loving touch and pampering😍. We just need to keep them active and alive. This reminds me of my childhood days when my parents were selling newspapers, they never had any days off 365days except first day of Chinese New Year, poor folks😥 (one newspaper choose to print on 1 Jan, so there goes). Some work just can’t stop like that and requires continuity😬😲. Fortunately our God doesn’t need off!🙏🤗

Bakers - you have my respect! 😍

In between Christmas and CNY, you are left with this no ordinary “cake” to celebrate Phase 3 and the start of the year in the family, office or school. Proudly presents - probably the most yummy Galette Des Rois in town - from the pastry to the super creamy frangipane, it is made with highest expectation we ourselves are expecting ourselves for!
Now till end of January! Head over to our online store!

Boxing Day - merely one day after Christmas, Chef

Boxing Day - merely one day after Christmas, Chef @wythesoon and his team have started their CNY cookies R&D...the whole bakery is filled with 4 kinds of uniquely Singapore aroma. I can already see at least two will be a big hit this Lunar New Year 2021, although it will be a tough choice.
This is what a community bakery should be - bringing the flavour into the community and celebrates every culture!
Hint: no more Hae Bee Hiam this time. 😅

This is one year in the bakery I would never forge

This is one year in the bakery I would never forget. I owe it to so many people, customers, friends, staff and student interns for so many things that no way I could finish counting and mentioning them. But I know my good God knows it all.
The sense of community and the togetherness is the strongest we have ever felt. Your well wishes, kind words, compassion and positivity held us together as a team.
My kitchen team worked and cracked the hardest to bring you the biggest Christmas range and max out the production. My Front Team did the even more amazing thing selling off the bakes. One thing that worries me the most is my online team - they worked round the clock, I saw replies and messages 12am, 2am, 4am, 5am, 7am, 10am, 2pm, 4pm, 5pm, 7pm, 9pm, 11pm, I wonder did they even eat, sleep, shower, or even go home😭😭😭. 300 emails everyday.🙇‍♀️
Yet, contented are the two badly damaged logcakes that were restored by our super kind and super magic Chef @wythesoon to perfect condition. (I don’t know how he could possibly do that).
Thank you @pari_chann and @lye_zi_quan for going the extra mile. You are happy even with just that few hours downtime with your loved ones tonight. 😘😭
Thank you everyone out there for choosing Brera today, tomorrow and everyday.
Our work continues tomorrow. For those we owe you an answer for our less than perfect service, we are working on it and do keep us connected. 🙏🙏🙏
From the bottom of my heart- Christmas is a piece of one’s home that one carries in one’s heart. May God alone rewards you!

Last lap - if you haven’t tried the freshly bake

Last lap - if you haven’t tried the freshly baked Panettone and German Stollen, we are baking the last hundred each and we want to ensure everyone enjoy this Christmas...sincerely.
And we have certainly made some boo-boos here and there, we sincerely ask for your grace and understanding. We know in our heart we have fallen short in some areas, and we will do a thorough review after this Christmas and work on the improvement.
Come just walk in! Give us a break on online orders to recover😔.
Have a blessed Christmas time and looking forward to serve you tomorrow Christmas Day, Boxing Day and Sunday❤️

“What Child is This” It is a rhetorical quest

“What Child is This”

It is a rhetorical question and the answer has been plainly revealed. God has become man and has come to rescue us. The eternal Word has become flesh to dwell among us (John 1:14). What prompts this statement, question of awe, though, is not only that God has become man, but that he has come among us in this way - in this surprising lowliness and this is just the beginning of the events we did not expect!” “The Christmas We Didn’t Expect” by David Mathis.

Be amazed once more with these short daily devotions and prayers, and renew your worship of the humble, generous and loving Savior.

Celebrate your Christmas with this humble-looking Stollen or gift someone. The shape of humble Stollen (the fold-over dough with a white top layer) is symbolic of baby Jesus wrapped in swaddling cloths.
It is a well meaning fitting Christmas gift.

Latest “Stollen” cool clutch trending - #bread

Latest “Stollen” cool clutch trending - #breadswithoutbags! Cash and carry!
If you can’t get Panettone, Galette Des Rois or Mince Pie, go for the humble Stollen. The best performing Christmas item this year.
People are coming back for second and third round. A little bird said this version is better than the ones in Germany. ☺️

A love symbol and an expression of love to someone

A love symbol and an expression of love to someone important to them. It is no surprise it was gifted to the Leader of Opposition Pritam Singh (Chinese translation 别担心), he is one gentleman (father, husband, son & brother) all boys should emulate: his demeanour, two feet on the ground, most humble, hardworking, whose heart is to serve his countrymen. I don’t know him personally but I have watched him for awhile and I feel the world would be a lot more heartwarming with a leader like this in our midst.
Like him, most of us including myself didn’t grow up knowing all this Christmas goodies such as Stollen, Galette Des Rois, mince pies, Panettone and many more other Viennoiseries, let alone pronouncing them.
Post and picture taken from his FB:
https://www.facebook.com/211352328887088/posts/3763825640306388/?d=n
Hope to serve him and his entire team one day our fresh pastries right here at Empress market. Together we serve the community.

The “Big Head” is the ultimate Italian Christm

The “Big Head” is the ultimate Italian Christmas pastries. It’s a leavened bread but enjoy more like a cake.😃
In Italy, it is common for every family to receive as many as 10 or more panettoni during Christmas season. Then many of these passed on other neighbours or are donated to charities. Traditionally served on Christmas lunch or dinner but also New Year’s Eve, and presented with a goof bottle of spumante or sparkling wine.
Hurry, the last few batches. We are trying to catch up after a failed batch yesterday. 😭

New leading trend. The Stollen is making unprecede

New leading trend. The Stollen is making unprecedented wave this Christmas. It is joining the Christmas goodies Hall of Fame league and in the lead. Way to go Singapore! You are becoming more discerning in terms of Christmas delicacies!
If you don’t know what Stollen is, don’t worry I didn’t know too before this bakery, there is always the first time. But now, it is really a tough call for me choosing between Panettone and Stollen.
Hurry I can’t wait to see your reaction trying this phenomenal cake-bread creation with a glass of champagne! 🎊🥂🍷🤩

Technically, panettone is not a cake but a bread o

Technically, panettone is not a cake but a bread of leavened wheat flour blended with an extravagant amount of eggs, sugar(less), and butter, then spiked with some dried fruit (usually raisins and candied citrus), and baked into a tall, gently peaked one or a low, round loaf. A good panettone is gently sweet and airy, with a pleasing chewiness.
Baking panettone is technique over formula, it shows an impressive level of mastery. “You can’t hide making this,” “It is or it isn’t.” The recipe called for mastery of every baking fundamental, from controlling temperature, acidity, and the alcohol generated through fermentation to managing panettone’s souffle-like tendency to collapse. You have to use all your senses to check that all the ingredients are incorporated well.
Working on panettone is an all-day project, you have to set up an alarm to feed the “mother” steadily every four hours, even through the night, for weeks at a time, to maximize its volumizing power, but even then, sometimes the yeast would suddenly fail to rise or sour for no apparent reason. It needs a little breathing room when proofing. It needed to be bathed regularly to maintain a consistent pH around 4.1 to 4.4 to avoid becoming too acidic for gluten to form or for the yeast to prosper.

Ultimately this is the quality you are paying and getting for! Singapore’s very own premium Milano Panettone you can trust, what’s more, greater joy it would be if you buy and share it to your family, friends, relatives, colleagues, bosses, volunteers, clients etc.

We have you in mind, this is the biggest Singapore

We have you in mind, this is the biggest Singapore Family Reunion ever for this year end festive season. Never in history we had the most Singaporeans stay put in this little tiny island HOME together. Treasure the HOME & Family time above all. Although we are moving into phase 3 soon, the fate of travelling out this coming Chinese New Year is still nowhere to be realistic [we might get second biggest family reunion then]. To be safe, better get inoculated first and treat yourself with yummy breads & pastries!

Pandemic times call for unity in the community. Ou

Pandemic times call for unity in the community. Our emotions cannot be suppressed for too long and we need to meet for some worthiness. Glad some parents choose to sign up for their kids the “bakecation” with us. Siblings came, then cousins came, neighbours came, they are self organising their roster according to the work demand and sleep over at each other’s house for more bonding fun. 👭👬🧍🏻‍♂️🧍‍♀️🏃🏃‍♀️🏃🏼‍♂️😂

Pictures seen here are Stollen, a traditional German Christmas delicacy, a bread-like fruit cake dessert. It’s filled with dried fruits, lemon zest, Chef’s secret-recipe marzipan (in the center) & a hint of kirsch.
Good to eat on its own or go with butter and a glass of wine or champagne.

10 more days to Christmas. I’ll be Home for Christmas! And this is my Christmas tree at home this year.
Jingle bell rock, jingle bells swing and jingle bells ring snowin' and blowin' up bushels of fun. Now the jingle hop has begun.
Well, the vibe is not quite the same outside but we are keeping the spirit high inside the kitchen to keep the production smooth. A point of reflection as I asked myself what is Christmas for all of us this year? Celebrate Christmas in Singapore CCIS 2020’s theme song “A Christmas like No Other” (written by 3 siblings known collectively as JMC Thengs) beautifully depicts the true essence of Christmas, the three-minute original Christmas MV was set against the Singapore skyline, put together by an award winning music director was released on Spotify on Dec 11. Hope you will enjoy this MV and its lyrics as much as I do. The chorus goes: “What if it’s not about the parties, or the decorated trees? What if it’s not about the presents, or the brightly lit up streets? If we only look around, there’s love to be found, in little acts of love and hearts of glee, maybe You’re what Christmas means to me.”
Enjoy!

Surprise early appearance this weekends. Well, there is no need to wait for Christmas or January to eat this Galette Des Rois a.k.a King’s Galette! Anyone who have tasted this would understand what I mean. I came out with this notion and mission every year that every Singaporean (& family) should at least try this pastry once in their life time! This galette is both deep in taste and in history.
Taste first and order for family & friends.
P/S: complete with feve and crown.😃(We put porcelain figurine from Dec 22 week and galette month in January else we put almond or pecan nut)

Mini mince pies power! It contains 8 kinds of drie

Mini mince pies power! It contains 8 kinds of dried fruits (eg apple cubes, sultanas, cranberries, black currants etc) slow-cooked for 2 days with 8 kind of spices. I have grown to like mince pies only now and quite honestly I only trust my own mince pies, the taste is distinct and satisfying. The same for Stollen, my liking just seem to increase by the year to probably addiction now. Brought the bread spread and mince pies for the first small group gathering this year, another sister brought Stollen, her favourite to share. They are simply my Christmas personal best series. This year, we are setting a whole new benchmark for the best Christmas delicacies you can expect by Team Brera! Truly thank God we are at our strongest ever to serve!

What better way to celebrate 12.12.20 this Saturda

What better way to celebrate 12.12.20 this Saturday. Last weekend to Pay-It-Forward, sponsoring a favourite Cruffin to the migrant workers who are re-housed into our neighbourhood. It’s heartening to see many responding to the call with one sponsors 75 Cruffins!!! Big heart you can see! We love seeing words of encouragement pouring in and how people took time to pen their gratitudes towards the MWs who have contributed greatly towards nation building. Total achieved by the 3 bakeries combined is 210 bakes at press time. Hope to reach 250 by Dec 14. Can’t wait to deliver the bakes and see their broad smile enjoying your love for them.

Panettone [Italian pronounced as pah-net-taw-ne ]

Panettone [Italian pronounced as pah-net-taw-ne ] is considered the Everest of Confections.
A well-baked panettone has a golden crust that peaks like the dome of a Renaissance cathedral.
It takes immense labour to make a panettone which include repeated visits to a climate-controlled fermentation chamber to proof. The natural and lively wild yeast’s consumption of sugars and subsequent burping of carbon dioxide create a network of caverns in the dough. It’s about getting the right level of the fermentation without over fermenting the dough into alcoholic mess, that makes the panettone delicately stretchy and airy the texture. The yeast work gives panettone its signature rich flavor and silky crumb that resists going stale. A good panettone is best a week out and still good even a month later. It should be ethereally buttery, light as a feather yet rich at the same time —a flavor bomb! The aroma is “something between vaguely and hauntingly sweet.”

Enjoy a slice of Brera’s Panettone with coffee. You will taste the obsession and the precision, and once you’ve tasted the freshly baked Milano Panettone, you will never go back to the mass-produced version. Proudly presents Brera’s Panettone by Chef @wythesoon.

Ms Tang Ning Ling, affectionately known as Ning by

Ms Tang Ning Ling, affectionately known as Ning by her colleagues, was our 1st ever University intern, thanks to the Global Ready Talent (GRT) program. Her internship happened during the pandemic crunch time in June where most businesses had to re-think abt doing business differently like online platform. I couldn’t recall how Ning appeared on our doorstep, but i believe it was a vision that shown her we are in need of her skillset. It wasn’t a smooth learning journey at first, we both were inexperienced & eager to get the most out of this 5-month internship. Ning helped in every possible way beyond the initial job scope of internship. Like most tertiary students nowadays, she wears many hats at work & study, often worked past midnights, including editing portfolios & answering online queries. She got a humble Nikon camera & a simple photo editing software to begin her course and passion. It’s my joy to see Ning flourished into a fine young lady who understands what it means by taking responsibility into her own hands & contribute to the greater good of her colleagues, workplace & family with the little she has. If you notice we had better posts on our official social media, credit goes to the work by Ning. We hope more relevant interns could come join small business on our digital platform.
Finally can’t imagine us without a good government responding fast in dishing out all kinds of schemes, policies & $$$ to support the businesses with the aim to effect good change & good capabilities to make us a better people & nation. The GRT, SGUnited Traineeship & Mid-Career Pathway, JSS Growth etc – we are big beneficiaries from this goodness. Thanks to the enlightened tertiary institutions that allow students to have longer internship duration to make meaningful contribution.
Lastly, I would like to make special mention about Minister @lawrencewongst despite his busy schedule bothered to help me an ordinary business owner to solve a tricky situation outside his scope in times of need. His leadership & public service for the country is evident in his work & I had the fortune to experience it personally. Together we will do well to serve Singapore.

[Japanese Strawberry Shortcake] Chef @wythesoon wa

[Japanese Strawberry Shortcake] Chef @wythesoon was gracious enough to make the BD cake for one of my part time staff happen to be my daughter😬😝.
The story went like this; the junior master chef at home & friend supposed to make the sister her favourite Japanese strawberry shortcake but they failed their mission and had to turn to Chef Wythe for help. This is not something I like to accept and ‘abuse’ our super busy head chef, as our production is pretty much full this December. I secretly squeezed in the order on their behalf (tough for this mum🙄) and quietly wait for his response🙏. Bingo, he agreed, phew!
The post-dinner topic was obviously
“Should we sell this cake and replace the current favourite Basque Burnt Cheesecake” because this is yet another simply too good beyond words cake😭.

[Dec 2, 9am]: ** At press time, we received many goodwill sponsors pouring in donating not just one but many Cruffins. I think we are in for a big Cruffin party for the migrant workers. Only at Day 2, it’s already so heartwarming. **
Backyard Makan - to sponsor one Ferrero Rocher Cruffin (or more) per customer for our migrant workers who are being rehoused into our neighbourhood. We are pleased to see customers participating and took time to pen words of encouragement & comfort, hoping it will cheer their spirit this year end season and to relief their homesickness. It’s heartening to see Singapore appreciates their hard work and welcoming them into the neighbourhood. Thank you Singapore and keep your kindness going!💚💚💚
Dec 1 - 14, we aim to collect at least 50 sponsored items for this campaign. You can pay it forward in store or on Brera’s online shop. We target to deliver to the migrant workers on Dec 22.

I thought we just had a great week last week, can’t imagine we will have yet an even better week as we enter December 2020.

What a great initiative by SG Cares Giving Week movement that they are going to make the entire Singapore experiencing the best week ever of 2020 together (1-7 Dec), in this most turbulent helpless year.

Riding on this train, Welcome in My Backyard (WIMBY) came out with “Backyard Makan” a pay-it-forward kindness to raise awareness about the migrant workers who have been rehoused in vacant state properties within our residential neighbourhoods since April 2020 as part of governmental efforts to reduce the density of migrant workers living in dormitories during COVID. This initiative hopes to foster amongst local residents a welcoming and giving spirit towards these migrant workers. (How sweet!)

From 1-14 Dec 2020, you can sponsor one or as many Ferrero Rocher cruffins (pay as you purchase in store or add as you order online) as you wish for migrant workers living in the Queensway and Ghim Moh neighbourhoods. They will be distributed around Christmas period together with other sponsored items around the neighbourhood. (@awildflowerbakery @theheadlessbaker ).

Thank you for recognising migrant workers' contribution to our nation and making them feel appreciated during this festive season! Being stuck here and worry for their loved ones can be quite mentally depressing. Let’s show them we are a #cityofgoodsg.

There will be a thank you festive card for you to write your name and pen your appreciation message or your name will be recorded at checkout and that will be sent to our migrant worker neighbours ❤️

P/S: Yay, @ibcsingapore is also on this community project spreading love together!

This is only the first of 4 days of the Christmas

This is only the first of 4 days of the Christmas Atelier market, I am already feeling overwhelmingly honored and humbled to meet so many passionate people, owners, entrepreneurs, supporters, partners, helpers, artisanal makers, media, fans & friends from far and wide. You can imagine this 55yo brain is so chock-full to the brim and has to operate at high speed to learn so many new things from these lovely people. My phone is always on google mode to search and check out info on the spot that I never heard before but surely is very interesting and cannot afford to miss. 😂 My antenna is up, my senses are on, my IQ, EQ, LQ, all the Qs are on...!
What a great way to learn in this beautiful setting! Pandemic didn’t dampen our spirit, in fact #singaporetogether is #emergingstronger. Looking forward to serving you from Delta House in the next 3 days😘! Visit our permanent store at Block 8 Empress Road for more variety.😭💕

[Happy Thanksgiving Day] Don’t you think it simp

[Happy Thanksgiving Day] Don’t you think it simply makes sense to declare Thanksgiving a national holiday as it could help to unite a country in an amazing manner removing self-interests and promote gratitudes. Abraham Lincoln had that foresight in 1863, a few months after the Battle of Gettysburg that the last Thursday in November, a national day of Thanksgiving.👏
Where does the pie culture come from at Thanksgiving? Believe it’s from the Brit immigrants to the USA. There’s no need of musical ode to pumpkin pie or pecan pie per se, any fruity pies like apple or cherry would make your thanksgiving table complete.
Pies are important because it has a way of living on in memory long after the gravy and side dishes are forgotten💪. Pies are “the holiday part of the dinner” and they should be rightfully (IMHO) be “fruity in substance, fruity in flavor,” with a layer of pastry that’s not too thick. Have you heard about a saying “a man who didn’t like pie was not to be trusted”, haha.🤣
A pie isn’t just any dessert with a crust of buttery goodness, in fact there is no mystery to making them, but they do require time and attention, things that seem to be in short supply in most of our lives. But now with pandemic, it is not too late to cultivate such values in families and be thankful for the things we have been blessed. 🙏💕
P/S: Don’t forget to grab a pack of buttery and fragrant dinner rolls along for your sauces and gravy.

It’s a wrap! Hopefully. We are pleased to announce that Singapore is definitely moving towards recycle, reuse, reduce waste and plastics mindfulness based on the last quarter’s observation from our Brera turf alone. Of course more effort can be done but the level of appreciation from customers and people of Singapore are definitely on the increase. It’s just simply encouraging and make you feel like doing more when more are doing and catching on the act!
Whether it is due to COVID or due to more campaigns or more nudging from the millennials, I am heartened by the vibes. The green heart is not as lonely and as weak as before...💚💚💚

Showcasing the prowess of Chef @wythesoon ‘s art

Showcasing the prowess of Chef @wythesoon ‘s artistic piping skill. He made this chocolate banana BD cake for one of his sheep again, he will always always make it personally. That shows how much he loves his flock.
NB: In case you can’t find @wythesoon in the celebration, he can’t leave his panettone mixing station half way🤨.

This year’s Christmas theme i think God is trying to tell us to stay humble, very very humble like this Christmas Stollen before the final dressing. 🙏

We have decided to join #TheChristmasAtelier, a brainchild of multi-talented @lelianchew, the founder of @theatelier.co, because a few precious hard lessons emerged from the year 2020:
1. The power of collaboration: Unity is strength. No one person is above another. #sgunited is best way forward.
2. Support local: Appreciate local talents and their crafts. We are learning and discovering 18 other local favourite artisan brands in one stop.
3. Joy to the world: @thefloralatelier.co is probably the best place you want to visit this year to re-live the magical feel of Christmas cheer after months of going nowhere. Wonderland comes alive.
4. Spirit of blessing others: essentially everyone can be a sender and a recipient of love gift at least once. Santa Claus spirit is active and alive. Much needed spirit to make us a kinder Singapore. No one is to be left behind.
Come one and all, register through the link bit.ly/the-christmas-atelier and if you have someone in need of special love due to special reasons, let him/her be my guest. ❤️

There are many things somewhat in common between my role as bakery owner vis-à-vis a pastor’s role.
Whilst I am making the physical bread of life, he is preaching the true Bread of Life. Whilst he is delivering ancient words, I am delivering ancient breads. I am chief server at bakery, he is chief shepherd at church, We are both called to be chief servant in our role. We love our charge as our “sheep”. He is ministering to the spiritual hunger of multitude, I am feeding the physical hunger of multitude. I pray for the dough to rise daily, he prays for the church to arise and shine. Both of us are busiest on weekends and off on Mondays. What a joy we are both reporting to the same boss in heaven and have same Heavenly Father. We are diverse in many parts but united in one body (1 Cor 12:12-30).
