You might have heard about Duke Bakery and how they related to another bakery in Taiwan that involved in using the artificial essence in their baking.

There are a total of 60 different types of breads freshly baked daily to serving their customers. They stated that they use the freshest ingredients to ensure the best quality delivered. They have insisted in using the yeast extracted from fermented fruits to give the natural flavors to their breads.
Like most artisan breads, the prices are higher ranging from $3.30 to $8.50. The good thing is tasting is allowed right there to help you decide which bread to buy. You could find big pieces of different type of breads with toothpick attached placed in plastic containers for tasting purpose. After tasted quite a few, i settled for Signature Crown, Chocolate Buns (5 pieces in a bag) at $4.50, Carlbell at $6.60 and Swiss Chocolate at $3.30.
Signature Crown is one of the recommended items promoted as one of the Four Kings. Thus, this is a definite must try. It has a beautiful crown shape nicely formed by 5 buns that contained of generous filling of cream cheese. This was given in the goodie bag so i have no clue of its price but this would likely be the new found love for cream cheese lover like myself. The texture of bread has a delightful chewiness together with a noticeable softness. It still tasted so good even after left it for hours and refrigerated. I tried heating it lightly in the oven to give it a slight warmth and i still enjoyed it.
A bag of 5 Chocolate Buns is affordably priced at $4.50. This is another item in the range of Four Kings. I'd think this is a must eat particularly for chocolate lovers. I could taste the good quality chocolate used as part of the ingredients to bake these lovely Chocolate Buns. The texture is rather fluffy and moist within with a ball of chocolate and cocoa filling in it. The rich chocolate taste is simply irresistible.
Swiss Chocolate. A beautifully looking bun for $3.30 topped with bits of walnuts. This is a simple bun with delightful fluffiness though it is without filling but it still tasted pretty good on its own. If i have to choose between this and Chocolate Buns, i would go straight for Chocolate Buns without much hesitation.
Carlbell is my most favourite listed as part of the Four Kings. This is quite a big bread for $6.60. It is of a substantial size to have it for lunch or even for dinner. The sourness of the dried cranberry incorporated nicely with the light sweetness of the cream cheese to surprise your taste bud pleasantly. NOTE: Re-visited on 31 October 2013 (Thursday) at about 2.30 pm. The shelves were almost empty. When checked with the staff on the next batch of Carlbell, i was told there's only a batch per day. I felt a certain amount of efforts should be put in to ensure there is enough supply to meet the demand particularly when there is an on-going promotion of 20% discount store wide from 28 October to 4 November 2013.
