[All time favourite]: Almond croissants, covered with overly generous snow powder😬. But please rest assured that ALL our products are less sweet with natural & healthier ingredients. Sugar tax is probably the most effective method in curbing the diabetes rate. Singapore already declared war on diabetes being the second-highest proportion of diabetics among developed nations, a report in 2015, by the International Diabetes Federation revealed. Another scary statistic; Singapore has one of the highest rates of gestational diabetes in the world. Health experts have advised that we reduce how much 'added sugars' we eat each day. Evidence shows that eating a lot of added sugars is linked to many chronic diseases. It's all about balance. A little bit of added sugar each day does no harm. Keep sweetened foods as a treat rather than a regular feature of your diet, got it?😅

4 wise ladies making good use of their time bondin

4 wise ladies making good use of their time bonding with the birthday girl, learn a skill or two, making mooncakes in time as gifts for family and relatives (how wise🥮). What a thoughtful way of pampering your besties over a baking class and getting the hands dirty together (masak-masak). Heard they went for high tea after that with their freshly baked mooncake yields (how wise how wise🥳).

Singapore’s R&D journey: Back in 1990s when I wa

Singapore’s R&D journey: Back in 1990s when I was still an Engineer in Seagate, Singapore R&D scene was at its infancy state. Seagate was one of the first few MNCs to have its own in-house R&D centre, even then, the R&D was very much “Copy and Improve” style with no real innovation per se. Today Singapore is elevated into one of the front runners in the global competition of R&D/Innovation talents. Singapore’s dedication in developing its R&D capabilities has also catapulted itself into the top 10 countries in global innovation rankings in just 25 years, in terms of its innovation enabling environment and the innovation outputs. Singapore’s achievement is all the more significant as many of these countries (e.g. Switzerland, UK, Sweden, US, Finland) have started building their R&D capabilities decades earlier.
Singapore went through from there was no real established tradition of research in local tertiary institutions and there weren’t many Research Scientists & Engineers (RSEs) around, to carefully nurturing a generation of Singapore PhD talent who would contribute to the successful local R&D landscape by the 2012. Today, Singapore’s R&D leaders are increasingly getting invitations to sit on international advisory panels outside Singapore. This emphasizes the credibility of the R&D work in Singapore. Singapore continue to grow in research confidence & appetite to explore new areas of growth including the latest pursuit in building a fully digitalised economy.
In the same light, Brera will take on the same determination as Singapore 30 years ago and embark on the creative segments of R&D journey. We believe in the pursuit of excellence & to carry the mission-oriented research work by pushing the knowledge limits & stimulating innovation. We aim to translate our research into new products or improvement of existing products for the market. Chef @wythesoon is never satisfied to be just a good baker or a good manager, he has every hunger to strike it out for better quality and better choices in the F&B industry. R&D is a daily affair in the kitchen of Brera. Can Singapore be a world leader in the breads and pastries innovation, only time will tell.

Fresh out of the oven, these breads are making audible crackling sounds. They even sing for awhile🥳. During baking, steam is introduced in the process. The high temperature crisp the crust as the bread finishes baking. If you live nearby a boulangerie and get to eat breads fresh from the oven, you are truly blessed! Make it a Sunday ritual for the family to break breads together. 🥰

What does your perfect weekend look like? Cozy+smell of pastries-alarm clock=weekend.😂
If you haven’t been out, perhaps it’s time to pamper yourself and come shop for the mooncake pastry at the same time. Come check out what the perfect weekend looks like in @bakerybrera.

In times of test, family is best! Mid Autumn Festival will be even more meaningful and precious family reunion times this year. Nothing is better than going home to family and eating good food and relaxing. Always reminded what home is all about: the informality of family is a blessed condition that allows us all to become our best while looking our worst.☺️

Come grab some mooncakes or order online if you haven’t. The stock is foreseen to run out fast. 🙏

Who doesn’t know Violet Oon in Singapore? She is

Who doesn’t know Violet Oon in Singapore? She is the grande dame of Singaporean cooking and is widely considered to be an authority on Asian cuisine, specialising in Nyonya food. How would you feel when out of the blue you received a lovely message from Chef Violet (someone you have high regards for), through a mutual friend of ours? Obviously you seize the opportunity to request for her presence at the bakery! She graciously accepted the invitation, there I was completely awe-struck by her meticulous aura, meeting her in real person for the first time. To me she is legendary and much to learn from🤩.
“Thank you to the Friedman guys - John and James - for introducing me to Bakery Brera’s novel interpretation of the traditional Teochew “thousand layers mooncake” made with flaky pastry. I like the charcoal pastry and green tea pastry variants. The skin is melting tender and the mochi in the centre of the filling is quite a pleasant surprise. Thrina Low of Bakery Brera - all the best for your success!” - Violet Oon.

The hype of lobster roll is catching on, with the news that @lukeslobstersg is slated to open this week. @ayrton88 our long time supporter, has been making and serving his well-loved lobster rolls using our brioche rolls(preorder needed) to family and friends for the longest time. It is this kind of camaraderie that we forged with customers over the years that we feel a part of us are linked to their families’ celebration. Happy Birthday @ayrton88!🎉

Two’s a company, three’s a crowd and four’s a party🥳! On weekends, when it gets busy, we need 3 to 4 people just to be at the cashier counter serving and packing😭. Our cashier team (own color own theme own style😆) is getting more inter-generational - a place where young and old squeeze in that little space, make a formidable team and perform at super fast speed with high accuracy, clearing hundreds and thousands of trays (of pastries and breads). Please forgive us if our efficiency appears to be rushing you out of the bakery at the quickest time possible. 😬☺️🙏
My littler partner et al are looking forward to serving you tomorrow. Happy Sunday! 🤩Psalm 16:1 Keep me safe, my God, for in you I take refuge.
P/S: cashier on Sunday is not for the faint hearted.

The hybrid mooncake pastry revealed - non sweet, pure butter, French flour, mochi, lower calories🥳. Seriously yummy! (Charcoal Yam Lotus is my favourite).

Mid Autumn Festival - seriously home-sick time for many Malaysians, so near yet so far. We use to be zooming in and out of the border without much thinking, but now, it will take many moons to go back to life before😭. No amount of mooncakes or lanterns can probably ease that “Balik Kampung” home-coming feeling😥.

We definitely miss serving the church community around our neighbourhood. They formed one of our biggest customer base. Waiting patiently for the churches to open fully (soon)🙏.
Elated, when one of the youngest family members from the church visits you, the last time since Chinese New Year. Challenging, trying to talk to her with the mask on. She too trying to figure out and read my lips through the mask.😆
I just have to reward her with a muffin 🧁for being so calm and patient with this smelly granny.

[Brera Bot]👾
One of the things we do during our Monday off is two eyes fixed on the computer screen, wasting no time in building our own Bot, with the aim to transfer all routine and repetitive tasks to Brera Bot. We are making baby steps to our AI dream. Automation is big on our agenda to cut down mundane low value-added tasks and up our capabilities in other aspects hoping to make F&B a more sustainable business and channel our energy to serving our customers better.
P/S: We hope to transfer our AI Bot expertise to other F&B units one day...🙏

How can we get more out of our favourite food? Alchemy Fibre™ is the answer! A patented powder blend of plant-based ingredients, Alchemy Fibre™ is a slowly digestible carbohydrate you can add to carb-based food during preparation. High in dietary fibre and contains prebiotics which help to boost your immunity. We have been working closely with @alchemy_foods in experimenting the baguette and banana loaf using Alchemy Fibre™ and had to tweak it a few times to make it ‘exactly’ to the original taste. The result has been encouraging! Our breads have gone ‘high tech’💪. And now we proudly present to you the healthier version of baguettes and banana loaves. All thanks to the food scientists at @alchemy_foods, they are fully backed and heavily supported by Singapore government, hopefully they have more breakthroughs in their fibre research and will fly the Singapore flag high.
Come support local and come try our very own Singapore blended product & give feedback! See if you can spot any taste difference. 😅🤗

Our hearts are always for the kids, the vulnerable

Our hearts are always for the kids, the vulnerable youths, the mental illness and the old folks...we will set aside some budget to support these causes, big or small way to keep each other’s spirit high.
We recently learnt about the “Youth for Causes” that has many chapters of social work and are championed by the capable students (youths) all over the schools in Singapore! Most of them have a clear compassion of the causes they are signing up for. It took us some time to digest and appreciate fully each of their objectives before deciding on one. I must say I am very impressed of the whole concept and how this system work whereby the more able youths are helping the less fortunate youths. Here’s one example: @specialneeds.you is a CITI-YMCA Youth for Causes team in collaboration with the Association for Persons with Special Needs (@apsn.sg) to raise awareness about the need to build an inclusive society for persons with special needs to live in. We had the chance to work with the Sec 4/JC students. Boy, they are fully capable. We decided to support their fundraising project by sponsoring a few Bakery Brera cash vouchers for their lucky draws. They planned and managed everything including drafting the caption for this post! 👏👏👏
⚡️PRIZES⚡️(in the pic).
Rules for the Giveaway:
1. Follow @bakerybrera and @specialneeds.you
2. Head over to @specialneeds.you Giving.sg site (link in their bio!) to donate a minimum of $10 to earn an entry into the giveaway (every additional $10 earns you an additional entry, but each person can win a maximum of one prize)
3. Fill in the Google Form (link in their bio too!) and attach a screenshot of the donation proof to complete your entry 🙂

This giveaway will base on donations that made today till 23 September, 2359 SGT. We might up the voucher’s quantity if the donation is overwhelming.
Would you join in and support? A small gesture will go a long way. Come experience the magic of our national youth power. They are the leaders of tomorrow...👫👫

[Happy Teacher’s Day] In 1989 I set foot in Sing

[Happy Teacher’s Day]
In 1989 I set foot in Singapore and worked as an Engineer in Seagate with little and poor spoken English [like many Malaysians😓 & engineers we speak in bullet points🤣). The company arranged many courses for the production operators and executives. I remember I enthusiastically took advantage of all the free courses available without hesitation. One such courses was English lessons.
That was when I met Mrs Constance Peck who came to teach “Good Written and Spoken English for Executives”. I never expected to be ‘reunited’ with my English teacher after almost 28 years through my humble bakery!! Amazingly she is still the same as 20+ years ago only perhaps a little slower in her movements.
I enjoyed and treasured all her lessons so much that I still remember quite vividly some of the things she said which impacted my life! For example she shared how she (and her husband) would endeavor to sit at the first row of pews in church so that she can focus and get as much out of the church service and the sermons. That hungry-to-learn attitude even as a teacher at that time stuck with me. I never stopped learning English and many other things from then on. She taught us grammar, how to write plain English in all business correspondence. She also taught English phonetics and the correct way to pronounce words commonly mispronounced. I still keep all her notes. I remember acing all her phonetic quizzes.

Her teaching contributed to why I am able to write ‘plainly’ today and be able to pronounce tricky English words correctly and confidently including many food-related words that I am speaking daily.

It’s amazing how I am able to meet her once more - my favourite English teacher in Singapore. Both of us have grown older and wiser I’m sure. I used to look up to her in awe as the much respected teacher and admired her many talents at a distance! By God’s grace we now relate as long-lost sisters because of our common faith in Jesus Christ! Interestingly, in a way Seagate has become one of my ‘alma maters’/ˌælmə ˈmɑːtə(r)/.
P/S: Constance offered to vet this post for me😍.

Cinnamon roll is first to be back by popular request...certain things you realised its charm when it is taken away, somehow suddenly you just missed that taste so much that you want to have a bite of it, even for just a bite. Don’t you think this is the same for some of us when we lost our loved ones then we realised the charm or the sacrifices of the person in your life and we suddenly missed that person for slightest reason. Be grateful it’s back even though it is small batch😭 (Chinese saying: 回来就好). Learn not to take things for granted and learn to be appreciative of everything around you. This tiny virus has taught us big lessons in life. 🙏🙏

[Monday Reflection:Patient] TTSH is my favourite h

[Monday Reflection:Patient]
TTSH is my favourite hospital for many reasons and when I received an “order & share” goodie bag request from an ED doctor, I immediately volunteer to deliver it personally. I never expected it to take 5 months just to get the order through to them. That’s how challenging it is (the COVID development at hospital ground level), life working at ED especially those with emergency and trauma services; busy, fast pace, chaotic, intense, no time to adjust and never know what to expect each moment. This is liken our weekend constant in-flowing crowd (COVID effect) that we need to do everything fast fast fast and right. This helps us to appreciate the services provided at ED to treat life-at-risk, every case is urgent urgent urgent and important. While they care for the patients, they didn’t forget to cheer their staff and colleagues. We too thank our customers for being patient with us, gracious even when the queue gets longer, with no lack of cheering and encouragement. A great reminder that we are to be a “grateful patient” and a “patient customer” ourselves, many in the world can’t get proper treatment and no food to eat. Patiently serving and patiently waiting without complaint are virtues we want to remind ourselves with when we switch roles.

Have you ever asked the same question but never had a chance to find out? 😅
Every week, we cook a large pot of white and brown button mushrooms for our yummy savoury danishes and sandwiches.

Do you know they are actually all “agaricus bisporus” mushroom, just different ages?🤨
White button mushrooms, are the toddlers; brown cremini mushrooms, are the teenagers; and portobellos, much larger versions, are the adults. (So, both white and brown button mushrooms are literally baby ‘bellos!)😂

I know your next question would be: “so any difference in terms of taste and nutritional value?” Haha, stay tuned or you can google it if you can’t wait🧐

Brera Logistics - thanks to the amazing A team for stepping up to meet large corporate orders and demands. It takes seamless teamwork from the entire kitchen (bakers) to the customer care team (FOH). It’s not typical that bakers are willing to work so closely with the Front of House team to support massive orders where it eats into their already very tight baking schedule in the morning rush hours.
Soon we may be able to setup an F&B logistic company😝🤓.

Yeah, we have gone regional to the east(Paris Ris, Tampines), and to the northeast(Punggol, Sengkang, Buangkok, Hougang, Kovan) extending our order outreach based on customer demands. Basically we negotiated better deal with our delivery partners ($8-12) for our customers’ sake. So it is by demand and based on what the customers request us to do for them. Being a listening bakery is important and serving them to the best we could has always been our motto.
More to come if the demand is there...😍👊

In the blink of an eye, we are into the month of August, we hope to bring you the most awaited news of mankind: the covid-19 vaccine, alas it isn’t ready yet except in the form of some Brera’s Kouignamann, Basque burnt cheesecake, Cruffins etc, to bring you some temporary respite as we are still very much trapped in the pandemic times. Well, the biggest progress reported from our end is the Green Effort by all. We have seen about 30-40% increase of people bringing own containers, plastic bags, reusable bags, or cutting down possible wastage 👏👏👏. That’s one encouraging hope amidst gloomy times ahead. Until Christmas time, everybody and everything we do will remain cautious, but for now, a few kind deeds will certainly go a long way.

Truth be told: this is the man Chef @wythesoon who stirred up and behind the whole Basque Burnt Cheesecake craze in Singapore. Honestly, we must thank him for creating such yummy cakes helping the entire Singapore weather through the difficult Circuit Breaker Phase 1, Phase 2, Recovery Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3 & beyond...forever more to go. This BCC has brought countless joy, comfort, happiness, warm, boost, delight to so many people in so many settings on so many different occasions. Long live BCC and long live Chef @wythesoon. If you haven’t tried one before, please come down soon or order from our online shop www.bakerybrera.com/shop. We are on 4th edition of BCC with reduced sugar after the @straitstimesfood post.

Baking Therapy
Arlena, 13yo, only child, bright and mature girl bursting with multiple talents.

To her, spending time at the bakery is super therapeutic and a break away from her so-called uneventful study-homework routine.

It was during one of her visits with her parents that she spotted the “go-to” place for her weekend outing. At times she has extra load of homework to do, still coming to the bakery means “recharging” her mind & body.

Last week, she eagerly texted me to say she has a surprise for us. It turned out that she wants all the baker ‘Sifus’ to sample her hazelnut choc chip cookies and give her comments. She sneaked out of her cashiering job to have a personal consultation session with the head baker @wythesoon and baker @ponylee1221. Satisfied, with all the advice and attention she received. 🧚🏼‍♀️
Precisely we want the bakery to be a place to engage these little ones where they are free to express their passion and creativity. It’s a joy to see them going about in and out of the bakery with a sense of home coming and belonging.

Mark 9:37 “Whoever welcomes one of these little children in my name welcomes me; and whoever welcomes me does not welcome me but the one who sent me.”

Vacation-deprived, Sleep-deprived, Social-deprived?
More people are telling us they work longer hours from home than in office. This is contrary to what we thought WFH would be - it is not necessarily more freedom or more chilled. So we are not going to let you be deprived forever, get out of the house, come and get your sweet-fix this long weekends. 😎🤓🥐🥖🥨🍞🍰🧁

Nice, another long weekend coming up: Hari Raya Ha

Nice, another long weekend coming up: Hari Raya Haji on Jul 31.

It is to remember the willingness of Ibrahim (Abraham) to sacrifice his son Ismael (Isaac in the Bible) as an act of obedience to God's command. But, before Ibrahim could sacrifice his son, God provided a lamb to sacrifice instead.
(Interestingly, this segment is also found in the Bible).
In commemoration of this intervention, an animal, usually a sheep, is sacrificed ritually and divided into three parts. One share is given to the poor and needy, another is kept for home, and the third is given to relatives. That was how Korban ritual (sacrifice) came about.

Serving the international community is part of our

Serving the international community is part of our mission. Foreign talent is a sensitive subject in Singapore for some, but we can’t deny the fact that having quality foreigners in our midst does help build a more competitive economy. I cannot imagine living in a homogenous demographics of Singapore, life will be so boring. Everyday we serve and meet hundreds of customers. On average of a 4-year expat term, we would have met each other over 400 times, from there we forged many meaningful and beautiful friendships of different nations.
July is a bittersweet month where we bid goodbye to many familiar expats in our midst and at the same time we receive new expats and new residents. This year given the current economic crisis of the world we are in, we seem to see more leaving than arriving 😢. One thing for sure, these foreigner friends have each added value to our work at the bakery by sharing their interesting culture during their time in Singapore eg the figurine and the crown we used for the Galette des Rois were first bought for us by Catherine Lacconi, our first French customer-friend😘.

This buttery, flaky, caramelised confection hailed

This buttery, flaky, caramelised confection hailed from Brittany is making every pastry lover go crazy due to its near-perfect pastry experience. It is no wonder every student intern would request for a glimpse of how it is made behind the scene.
We have so many Bretons came and exclaiming how could it be better than the origin☺️🤗. This is the only pastry that will lay you down flat - none other than Kouign-Amann.😜

Group buy, estate buy or kampung buy, whatever you

Group buy, estate buy or kampung buy, whatever you called it, it takes the few kind souls in the estate to organise the group buy for everyone. @llimeiii is one of those, that day we left out some items from the main orders and had to deliver them back late evening, O my, her whole household including parents and helper (plus she has 3 young children) were still busy sorting the orders out for her neighbours occupying the entire living room (it’s already passed 5 hours😬). In times like this, we discover the angels God put around us. Thank you @llimeiii for your kind act of service. I certainly hope to have a neighbour like you but more so you have shown us how to be a good neighbour!👏👏👏
Romans 13:9b
whatever other command there may be, are summed up in this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.”

*Our Treasure, Our Elders* Is age a competitive ad

*Our Treasure, Our Elders*
Is age a competitive advantage or disadvantage at workplace? One clear demographic trend, we are all getting older and living longer. 20% of our staff profiles are over the age of 55 (me included). We believe that age corresponds with workplace wisdom, so we aim to create a fair & inclusive workplace culture for seniors. Every senior has a treasure trove of stories to share. When I look at these seniors, I’m looking at me, at some point, we might all need somebody to help us. Start asking seniors about their amends, regrets, and triumphs, you might change or reinforce your own priorities.
Wendy, 55, our well-loved cleaner whose birthdate is one day after mine. She is the longest serving staff since we started 5 years ago. Without her cleaning up the mountain pile of baking utensils everyday, we would have a much tougher day in the bakery. She is very much my soulmate at work (we are fading away together😬) and she often acts as the chaperon to the junior bakers. One little known accolade was she was once the head prefect in her primary school days.
Mrs Ong, 77 who lives in the same block above the bakery. She covers the cleaning job whenever Wendy is unable to work like weekends or public holidays. For most part of her life, she worked as a bus driver and managed 7 other buses ferrying students and construction workers. Her other jobs include class 3 driving instructor, selling eggs, KAYA jam and salad etc. Her filial children adore her as the most hardworking mama bringing up 5 of them well.
To all the Brera’s seniors, we salute you! They have certainly added stability and wisdom to the entire bakery’s undertaking.🧑‍🦳👨‍🦳

Psalm 71:9,17a
Do not cast me away when I am old; do not forsake me when my strength is gone. Since my youth, God, you have taught me, and to this day I declare your marvelous deeds to the next generation.
