[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 though, 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...💚💚💚

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).

School Holiday is here or is coming up for some and children need a break (so are parents need a break from children too😝) but are getting nowhere to go. Here in Brera, we undertake part of social responsibility to help teach the children and expose them to what it means to assume work responsibility and to perform up to a certain standard. We help them draw lessons from workplace and from customers alike. Being disciplined and resilience are critical values in season like this.

This pandemic proves to be challenging time for all and the charity organisations are not spared. We have decided to support Assisi Hospice after witnessing my mum’s end of life palliative journey fighting with Non Hodgkin Lymphoma cancer in 2017.

May I urge you to support Assisi Hospice for their fund is running low and the work is heavy and arduous. They are the only hospice in Singapore providing the whole continuum of inpatient, day care and home care services.

May I also urge you to be patient when signing up the virtual Assisi Fun Day fundraising event and as you shop around. Everyone is trying to setup new programs, new ways of doing things, new experience, surely there would still be minor hiccups and imperfections to fine tune it further. You have 5-15 November to participate in this well-loved annual event which is their main source of funds. Do know that your support are very much appreciated in doing good. We thank God for the founder of Assisi Hospice missionary heart to care for the terminally-ill patients and their families regardless of faith, age, race and financial position.
If you are considering buying our pastries and cakes, do considering buying them from https://www.assisifunday.sg/ first.

The Mystery of Stollen Bread🤣. Why do we eat St

The Mystery of Stollen Bread🤣.
Why do we eat Stollen at Christmas? Stollen, or Christstollen, is a German formed bread-like fruit cake. It's filled with dried fruits, marzipan and spices covered in powdered sugar. It is a traditional German bread eaten during the Christmas season. The shape of Stollen - this fold-over dough with a white top layer, is symbolic of baby Jesus wrapped in swaddling cloths. You probably won’t be able to fathom its goodness until you have a slice of it.
We welcome advanced orders.

This Brioche Wreath can be used as the center piec

This Brioche Wreath can be used as the center piece with Christmas candle in the middle and enjoy it as sweet rolls around the family feast.

People like hanging Advent and Christmas wreath on the door as a symbol of honour and moral virtue. It is normally constructed with evergreens representing everlasting life through Jesus and the circular shape of the wreath represents God, with no beginning and no end.
Wreaths with evergreens also symbolise strength to last throughout the harshest winters.

There are other kinds of wreathes like Harvest wreaths, made using harvested grain plants, fruit and nuts. Wreaths made with Oak leaves symbolise wisdom and Olive wreath was even used as the prize for the winner at the ancient Olympic Games. In those days, wreaths could be used as an adornment that represent a person’s occupation, rank, their achievements and status.

We have seen families who carry strong traditions and values will tend to stick closer & bond together even in difficult times.

We welcome advanced orders for these Brioche Wreaths.🥳

Welcoming the month of November with our plump fru

Welcoming the month of November with our plump fruit danishes, surely we are maturing as people, more grounded, more compassionate, more humble and more socially aware, something good out of COVID. But Lord, have mercy, preserve all of us; families, children, businesses, nations, you certainly have important lessons intended for our good, we know that full well.🙏

Let’s embark on an exciting time-travelling adventure with Doraemon!
@wythesoon and I were transported to the @natmuseum_sg (NMS) by the superpower “Anywhere Door,” or the “Dokodemo Door”. It was just a prayer in our heart as we tried open the door, then there was a warp hole immediately connected us to the desired destination of our choice. Haha, how cool.

Reference to the Straits Times article below: We fully agreed with NMS Director Ms Chung May Khuen who says because of the pandemic, it is even more important if we can bring happiness to people, especially at this difficult time. (Who doesn’t love Doraemon!)

Equally serious is the serious intent behind it, the museum is positioning to be a people's museum. (Yeah, it’s people’s bakery for Brera).

The pandemic has prompted everybody including the museum to think seriously about the institution's (or business’) role and function. And I absolutely like what Ms Chung said about our social responsibility and how the NMS is taking leadership without being conventional:
“We do have a very important role in various aspects of people's life. The museum is not just about Singapore history or history of civilisations, but our social role.”

[Women-in-Science] Congratulations to the 20 WinS-

[Women-in-Science]
Congratulations to the 20 WinS-CAPS graduates today (read some of the inspiring quotes) and thanks to the Programme Lead Asst Professor Ann-Marie Chacko @annie_chax who took the pain to explain about the Women in Science Research Scientists’ Initiative (WinS-RSI) and her heart for the programme.
The Wins Initiative for Research Scientists comprises of three parts:
1. The WinS-Career Advancement Programme (WinS-CAP) for “early career” female scientists in the entire SingHealth Duke-NUS Academic Medical Centre (AMC).
2. Career talks including the signature “BreakThrough” seminar series highlighting female role models in science presenting their story- the challenges faced in their career and life, and the motivation behind their scientific pursuits-to connect with and inspire the young scientists.
3. Public outreach activities to help effect societal change by inspiring the next generation of budding research scientists, furthering public good, volunteering activities, allow for better work-life balance, and expand participants’ network, beyond that of academic medicine.

Data reveals that the number of female research scientists drops abruptly at the PhD level, and significantly at the postdoctoral levels, reducing the number of female researchers to 28% globally (UNESCO Science Report 2015).

Sometimes we think these PHD women are super-woman and expect them to be strong and powerful in every way, that need little or no support. On the contrary, these “early career” female research scientists need to be supported like anyone of us, as they transition through their career from trainees to professionals, so that they remain committed to making scientific contributions, let alone the unique role God created women to be. Great reminder that God created Woman as an Ezer Kind of Helper (Genesis 2:18), which means it does not suggest 'helper' as in 'servant,' but help, savior, rescuer, protector as in 'God is our help.'

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
The C word – will send shivers down anyone’s spine if you are diagnosed with one. BC is top C for women and LC top C for men. Juleen (the founder and managing editor of SaltandLight.sg) & I are both BC survivors. We thank God through the affiliation, we are in better position to comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves received from the God of all comfort (2 Cor 1:3-4). Through the bakery, I got to serve many A(llegics), D(iabetics) & Cs. I was already a big fan of @saltandlight.sg way before I met Juleen (you can imagine how delighted I was to have a chance to hear her own faith journey & life testimony). We both love writing in our own rights. To me @saltandlight.sg is the single most powerful, influential and impactful gathering place of real people, real life testimonies of the marketplace and anything 9-to-5. Bakery work is tough, whenever I am down and despair, all I need to do is find a saltandlight.sg article, the testimony will always always be enough to fire up my spirit and charge up every cell within me. I strongly encourage anyone who needs encouragement, who wrestle with doubt or despair with faith, wanting to find meaning in life, go read up the stories, share the stories, take it back to your homes and work places, life will never be the same again!
Don’t waste your cancer, by not being an inspiration and share your testimony to others. It comes with so much beauty in it. #breastcancerawareness
Footnote:
Why Salt & Light?
Context: Bible tells us about being salt and light, serving and leading to the glory of God.
“You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden… In the same way, let your light shine before others” Matthew 5:14-16b
“Salt is good, but if it loses its saltiness, how can you make it salty again? Have salt among yourselves, and be at peace with each other.” Mark 9:50

He is on my idol list, coming from a humble background he grew up with his mother in the hawker environment. So he is carrying on the Hakka craft from his parents with so much pride and passion (after Antoinette). I gobbled up the super chewy noodle, super steamy Hakka NTF soup and Hakka fermented bean and wine marinated chicken wings in 15mins.

There are a few possible deductions:

2. He is at his most relaxed and in zero-threat state.
3. Baking is his innate ability.
4. His left hand is just as capable as his right hand💪.
5. Nothing is in his way, that’s why he is doing what he is doing😂!

[All time favourite]: Almond croissants, covered w

[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?👌

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.

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.
