Passed by this bakery shop which I think is open for 24 hours! I had the oreo bread which was cheaply priced at $1. I thought it was quite special as I've never seen a mix of bread with oreo before. It tasted too sugary (too sweet) that it sort of masked the oreo flavour. The bun was quite soft though.

My colleague has bought a box of these teo chew mooncakes to our office for us to try. The packaging is really traditional and simple, but you can really smell the fragrant of the pastry. Instead of the usual traditional baked skin or the snow skin mooncakes, these are more similar towards the tau sao piao version. The piao's texture is very smooth, light and fluffy. As for the beanpaste is very compact and not too sweet and slightly towards the salty version. A great snack at all times of the days.

Happened to come across this bakery other day and remember they were featured on the TV once. I went in to get a box of Tau Sau Piah for my grandpa. My grandpa loves these traditional snacks. He always have them when he is having his coffee break in the afternoon and after dinner. We had these Tau Sau Piah for our coffee session when i visited him earlier. The skin was light and flaky with not overly sweet bean paste in it. These handmade tau sau piah were really nice in its own way and relatively cheap as well. I paid $4.00 for 10 pieces in a box. We enjoyed it very much.

What I like about Gin Thye Cake Maker Mooncake is that, the skin of the mooncake is thin, everyone also knows that the thinner the skin of the mooncake, the more skilled the person is to achieve that thickness. I bought the lotus mooncake with one egg yolk, the lotus is really smooth and not too sweet. I love it so much that I ate about nearly three quarter of the mooncake at one go! The egg yolk is not too salty nor dry, just that the appearance of the egg yolk is not like the ones you see in those that you bought from hotels and other places with are round and circular. While the egg yolk in this mooncake is like deformed. Overall the price of the mooncake is reasonable about $40++ per box and I will buy mooncake from there again next year.

It is rare that bread shops would open 24 hours, and in a neighborhood no less. But it is just the case with this particular shop. It is quite convenient, especially if i get hungry out of nowhere in the middle of the night. There's more option than the normal 7-11 or Mac. The cashier is friendly, especially when there are not a lot of customers around. She will joke and play around with my toddler niece. And always service with a smile. The swiss roll is soft but too bad, the chocolate taste was not strong enough. Instead, the cream is too buttery and salty. I have to justify though, at a price of $2.80, it is considered as reasonable.
