Basque Burnt Cheesecake - has become THE cheesecak

Basque Burnt Cheesecake - has become THE cheesecake to celebrate for every occasion! Kudos to the one who created it from Basque Country and kudos to Chef @wythesoon who perfected it to be Brera’s most celebrated masterpiece! Todate, more than 3000 has been sold...70% are repeat customers. We’d very much like to tell you what other customers have said about the cheesecake but we think it is better you try it out for yourself.
It’s not a fad but this is here to stay!

Today is last day of CNY also called “Chap Goh Mei 元宵节”. Time to do good and go healthy, haha.
Dealing with breads, naturally you are in contact with “Veganary”(is there such a word even) people. I guess sometimes we need to practice Vegan or Vegetarian once in awhile either for health reasons or feel good factors. Perhaps if we continue to abuse the earth and the animals in it, we may have to go Vegan faster than we thought. We have met countless people who shared their personal experience of various diets, I guess God created all of us unique and therefore, know what suits(not just what you like), like medicine, one day we might be moving towards personalized diet.

Try using the @marylebonegroup coconut oil spread as your healthier choice and support Social Enterprise @wildnessasia Chocolate & @apsn.sg . (Get them in store).

Wisdom of the Day: “Eat Well and Have a good Heart”
Mark 7:14b-15,18b-20: “Listen to me, everyone, and understand this. Nothing outside a person can defile them by going into them. Rather, it is what comes out of a person that defiles them.” “Don’t you see that nothing that enters a person from the outside can defile them? For it doesn’t go into their heart but into their stomach, and then out of the body.” (In saying this, Jesus declared all foods clean.) He went on: “What comes out of a person is what defiles them.”

It’s Cherry Blossom time! It’s Spring time! No

It’s Cherry Blossom time! It’s Spring time! No season deserves to be celebrated better than spring, as there is nothing like seeing the flowers bloom and the warming rays of the sun. Perhaps time to wear floral too.
Part of Chef @wythesoon ‘s culinary training was from Japan and naturally he has mastered the art of incorporating the most adored flower in the form of this highly acclaimed Sakura Bread – a fully fragrant bread that has got that good old burnt crust taste on the outside and creamy softness on the inside. It contains precious Sakura petals, Sakura syrup essence, pineapple bits and Mochi.
For those who had it last year you would know - hurry, limited edition starting Mar 3, every Wed and Sat.

BEHOLD: When the prominent food & travel bloggers

BEHOLD: When the prominent food & travel bloggers @aun_koh & @sulyntan are hosting & one of their guests is @szeliang888 , you can expect they will go all out preparing & curating the food that I can’t wait to read their posts which often is mind-blowing. I will savour their blogs with lots to learn not just the menu itself, but also the style of writing & the photography etc.
Hosting & serving hv been a big part of my family. My mum was very hospitable & every festive period we would have an “open house”, with buffet spread for anyone to come enjoy, regardless of race & background. This was how I enjoy hosting over a meal for fellowship or bible study as a way of life, so our friends circle grew from hosting to hosting. Then came BBrera in Feb 2016, our life took a toll during the first 2.5 yrs – business was rather slow until something unthinkable happened in Jul 2018, Aun Koh thru’ @croissantqueen ‘s post, came bought our bakes & posted the story on his IG. Lo & behold, almost everyone that thronged in the next few days was citing Aun Koh’s post & here came SzeLiang all smiling “Hohohoho…”.
I was such a novice & never experience any mighty power of social media influencers (aside from @ieatishootipost). Soon we realized the whirlwind effect of Aun Koh’s force which was absolutely phenomenal. We’re caught unprepared. Looking back I now understood why our Prime Minister @leehsienloong mentioned him in Aug 2006 during the National Day Rally speech as an example of Singaporeans using cyberspace (his blog) bringing the little red dot to the world. Undoubtedly, he was the man who brought BBrera & her darling Cruffins, Brera/Kouignaman, Croissants to IG stardom today. Indeed, Aun Koh (aka Chubbyhubby.net) is the forerunner, most credible leader-influencer when comes to good food & fine dining recommendations in Sgp. Grateful for Aun & SzeLiang’s continued insights & wisdom that both have helped boost our presence in this little red dot. Without these influencers, F&B would be left to its own devices & we may still be long awaiting for people to come (等到颈都长) & relying on word of mouth one at a time. 🙏

Hot Cross Buns - they will be the star, the pillar

Hot Cross Buns - they will be the star, the pillar and the bread (of life) that carry us through the typical busy period between Chinese New Year & Good Friday/Easter. There will be lots of exams, projects, new terms, new seasons, new work, new programs, etc.
Pillowy, fluffy, dried fruits and spice fully balanced taste - one of the best you can ask for.

Happy Valentine’s Day in the form of Charcoal st

Happy Valentine’s Day in the form of Charcoal sticky-ricecake(年糕) Danish. This CNY Sticky Rice Cake representing sweet & everlasting love, is one of the oldest must-eat CNY sweet delicacies. It is particularly appropriate to commemorate Valentine’s Day as well. Chef @wythesoon never failed to fuse the best of East and West. Using Danish pastry to wrap the 年糕 inside, is like sending a surprise gift wrapped with super-Mochi love inside. Mooowah😘
Fav mum’s tip: wrap thin slice of yam around the thinly sliced rice cake on each side and dip in batter then fry till golden and crispy! 😋
P/S: Unfortunately we are not open on Valentine’s Day, so this is only for private consumption. Thank you @marylebonegroup for gifting us the best 年糕from @thundertree_leicha Singapore.

Empress Mall – one of the oldest markets in Sing

Empress Mall – one of the oldest markets in Singapore. Most shop operators/hawkers here are my ‘si-fu’ when we started as they are easily 20-30 years of experience ahead of us. People saw the word ‘Mall’ and were curious. It turns out to be a cozy little market not quite the mall they expect. Indeed, I love this self-contained mini mall nestled in the heartland along the busy Farrer Road. It’s interesting before the opening of Brera, every time after church at IBC, we would always turn left to Block 4 car park where the Westlake Restaurant, Food R Us and Bumbu are. Little did I expect there was some interesting life happening on the right side where Block 7 & 8 are. There are two florists selling fresh flowers where we got our flowers for Valentine’s celebration. If you are a big DIY geek like me, we are grateful for BudgetLink who sells almost anything and everything I need. Talking about Cheng Nam Seng grocery – Ms Cheng (and her clan) is one of the most experienced grocers that I have seen in Sgp and they sell really quality stuff and is most knowledgeable in her line of products (hard to replicate such grocer anymore). The newest addition Meatman (like our local Huber’s) adds interesting raw meat range to this market. 7-elevan becomes our go-to place for coin-exchange whenever our coins run low. The dentist, the hair salons, the vet, the laundry, Ah Tong fruits wholesaler and Dr Yap’s clinic, we all share many common customers!
Besides, the wet market sells quality poultries, fish, pork and beef, love the vegetable/fruit stalls here where they carry wider range of fresh vegetables and fruits our bakery needs like leafy herbs, salads and berries. Will introduce you some of the best hawker foods found in Empress Market the next round. Blessed to be part of the Empress Mall community. Mr Tan, our market chief got a special budget this year to decorate up the market to counter the subdued CNY celebration this year in view of pandemic. Drop by whenever you pass by Farrer Road(花拉路). Empress Market welcomes you!

Joy is to see our “Tingaporean” generations (those born on Y2000 onwards) being well mannered, appreciative of what they have, obedient and embracing family tradition and rich culture. The celebration can go on because of strong family foundation. We are here to protect the young and duty-bound to mentor, guide, develop and to help them in whatever means we could.
Generations come and generations go, the world value is getting more disorientated the way it looks...😰

Deuteronomy 6:6-7 These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.

Brera Family send-off: Goodie Bag Presentation - no words can express my appreciation and love for these kids. These are the set of children I have at work and another set of children going home to. As usual, my best partner-at-work Chef @wythesoon was kind enough to bake a special batch of cookies for them (& me) - we almost had nothing until last minute. Knowing Wythe, he even prepared a simple spread for everyone (no one in Brera should go home hungry😇). Now it’s time to send these precious children back to their parents for CNY reunion and for the first time Malaysians you called Singapore Home too😅. Rest well children! Have a blessed CNY. See you next Tuesday, I understand, you want the clock to tick slower than usual 孩子们累了😴 and may God expand your time with loved ones🥳. (Bakers still need to pop in daily to check on their dough babies if they are sleeping well🤫). Being Brera’s kids is not easy. ☺️

Special thanks to @pari_chann the class monitor (正班长) and @lye_zi_quan our assistant monitor (副班长) for organising the presentation and make it so fun for everyone!🥰

I have stocked up mine, have you? Hurry, we have some last minute fresh stock for the last minute shoppers tomorrow till 3pm while stock lasts. This is also a time we asked for forgiveness from one another before the new year. Particularly we want to say sorry to the bakers, we have caused them to go nuts 团团转. This is probably the umpteenth time we asked them to bake one last batch, again & again. We kept breaking our promise of one last time. Honestly, it is so difficult to plan and anticipate the volume needed in this pandemic times. At the end, I hope everyone is happy. Now you know why Bakers deserve 4 days of rest/sleep😭😴.

Finally to all customers whom either you drive us nuts or we drive you nuts, we see everything as our need for improvements. The cause is us, we will learn from every experience. Give us some time, we will work on it. Have a restful CNY. Don’t let the virus drive us nuts most of all.

See you back on Tuesday!

Empress Market is where we co-exist and cheer for

Empress Market is where we co-exist and cheer for each other from time to time. Certain tidbits originated from Malay or Indian culture, have transcended all festivals and form part of our national palate. We happily adopt them as part of Singapore celebrated food; muruku, chilli kerepek or crispy shrimp rolls etc. I just need to top up some of these to my other CNY goodies and for give-aways. Furthermore, Suriani is my good market friend who told me she is helping her sister who suffered stroke last year to make some living. By the way, her classic Malay cuisines are really Sedaplicious and I must say one of the best in town!👍 Love her tahu goreng, lontong, mee rebus, ayam penyet.

Highly recommend Nur Aishah Muslim Food!✅
P/S: Edward our other very talented & witty market friend, owner of the famous @happyworldroast helped us take this picture without the signboard said people might be confused as the stall name is not her real name, you agree?😫😵 Haiya

This national addiction is driving the nation (& us) crazy! Everyone must eat pineapple tarts during CNY as long as you are standing on this Singapore soil and I believe every bakery is playing catch up everyday to meet the demand. Before the pineapple tarts are sold out, the jars from suppliers would be wiped out first. 😅
Time to bring your own jars and pack your own.(updated).

Not forgotten yet. After so much pineapple tart craze, need to come back to practise this to ensure the skill has not gone stale. Swipe left to see one or two has gone a little ‘free hand’. 😝
Well, seeing these you know weekends a’coming!

“Hello, your fish is arriving in 30mins!”, “

“Hello, your fish is arriving in 30mins!”, “Eh eh we are not a seafood restaurant, this is a bakery, we didn’t order any fish”!
Upon hearing the border closure and no chance of “balik kampung” (going back to hometown) this CNY, see what Chef @wythesoon ‘s parents did. They immediately sent carton-full of best seafood from kampung Sekincan farm all the way to their beloved son’s workplace (we were like digging treasures buried deep inside)😭. This is absolutely touching witnessing how parents worrying for their children not able to celebrate CNY in Singapore the way it used to be back home. Understandably, as much as old folks missed their children, likewise the children also missed their aged parents. It’s difficult when you can’t show filial piety to your aged parents especially one year can be like lifetime for the old folks. You know when the parents send goodies over, they make sure it’s enough to feed the entire kampung Brera. Isn’t it how Kampung people are like, they celebrate and share their crops and harvest. Aw, this completely melt our hearts.小地方人情味更浓更热。

You can be sure we will have the best steamboat – freshest seafood ever!

Listen to this Chinese song below which had thousands and thousands of foreign workers shed tears particularly this time of the year, many are stuck here with no reunion to be seen. Every family zoom is full of teary scenes.

Ox is the male adult and Cow is the female adult o

Ox is the male adult and Cow is the female adult of B. taurus. In Chinese one word 牛describes all.
So is it a compliment or a criticize when someone say this: “You are a cow” or “You are such a cow”?
Wait wait, don’t get offended so quickly. It should be a compliment as you are being compared to the outstanding character of a cow. Specifically, you are considered a person who conquered many difficult tasks or a long suffering person….go you!
Cow is a very important animal throughout all civilisation and an important animal in Chinese agriculture.
In contrast, regardless of the context, references to farm animals in the West is a putdown. All of the farm-animal based comments are insults: “don’t be chicken”, “you’re a pig”, “hen-pecked”, and “bull-headed.”
During a MasterChef show, a person in the show called another person (her teammate) a cow and that person melted down. Oh no😥.
Bottomline, with this pandemic, we must train ourselves to always look at the positive side of things and look for the good side of a person.
Moo..Moo…What would a cow say to her psychotherapist? “I feel seen but not herd”😭.

Let’s all be “cow-worthy” in the year of the Ox per those traits in the poster!😄

Received this as gift and got connected with Wildn

Received this as gift and got connected with Wildness Asia during “Home for Christmas” and totally impressed by their story and product quality.

Setup as a social enterprise by a French-New Zealander chocolatier (100% volunteer) manufacture Organic Chocolates at APSN Center, working with Persons with Special Needs. (Wow - foreign talent 🇫🇷 🇳🇿). In NZ, they work with inmates.

All their ingredients are sourced from eco-friendly small businesses using sustainable methods:
Vegan
Gluten free
Halal certified
Organic certified
Zero Waste- using soy-bases ink on the biodegradable box.
Salute - everything is made with love for the love of Singaporean with Special Needs. 👏👏👏
Feel compelled to introduce them and want more Singaporeans to know this beautiful product and help support good cause as they don’t really focus on retail due to manpower. Apparently this product is already popular amongst the French community.
They have 10 flavours and we chose the best selling 4 to carry: Pure (57% Dark Choc), Cashew, Coconut and Bee Pollen.

Effortless for us but tremendous effort for PSNs - not what we understood of an ordinary task like folding & packing.

P/S: Learnt this new name: cupuaçu - a unique Brazilian fruit. Go google it for their goodness.
Test: if the picture appeared blur to you, please have your eyesight checked.🧐

Finally my turn to eat the Panettone (made famous by @jamuslim 🥳) even though it was way past Christmas Y2020. Yes we haven’t got a chance to enjoy one this year, oops I mean last year. Chef @wythesoon was kind enough to keep one for me, no no, he has started the next R&D for Christmas 2021, he wanted me to be impressed upon🤩. This is how serious he is, as soon as the season is over he starts preparing for the following year. Aren’t all high performers operate the same way?

When you see this, you know CNY is near and you can’t wait to pop one into your mouth! It’s that time of the year again to be glutton about p. tarts!
This is also the time of the year you want to fly back to your hometown the most to be reunited with your aged parents, children & families. This year, it will be homesick home for many especially when you can’t bring back goodies to your loved ones whom you miss so much. 😭😭😭🙏🙏🙏 so near yet so far!
Hang in there! A little while more hopefully. Get vaccinated and eat p.tart!

5 love languages to show your love in this Chinese New Year as we stick together as one united nation! It all started around last CNY, one year on, we are still battling it, but we are getting better in spreading love!

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.

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!😝

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.”

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

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

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 th

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.

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:

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. 😭

Chef @wythesoon made Orh Nee (yam paste) BD cake for one of our youngest bakers! See the cute decor on top. Always a surprise treat and everyone enjoyed the much needed short respite in the midst of Christmas craze and to at least sing our heart out.
Happy Birthday @ponylee1221 - he graduated from the culinary college in Taiwan - that’s how he got his name小马. When he returns to Malaysia, he becomes 大马, in Singapore, he is 新马😂🤣.
