While it’s a heartland bakery in Toa Payoh, Oishi Pan Bakery still has a bundle of loyal customers lining up for the fresh bakes. Like many Japanese bakeries, their specialty is soft breads – except full-fledged loaves like an earl grey white chocolate bread ($5.50) which comes infused with bergamot or a round of QQ mochi bread ($2.20) that has a uniquely chewy texture. Even the classic butter rolls ($2.50 for three) have a Japanese flair, with a soft and airy dough.
TRY The sun-dried tomato bun ($3.20) which comes with a touch of sea salt – the wafting scent of this when straight out the oven is irresistable.
