When Mugiya first opened its doors at Woodlands Xchange, I was initially drawn to it because Mugiya is supposedly a Japanese bakery. The banner advertising their #1 Hokkaido Bun also contributed to that impression. However, other than the Hokkaido Bun, and maybe two or three others, most of their other breads do not really scream "Japanese" to me even if some have Japanese-sounding names. Maybe they are trying to cater to local taste with their choice of product offerings with buns such as floss buns and even chinese pastries like Lao Po Bing or Tau Sar Piah, but I thought that this really felt more like a local bakery. Nevertheless, their breads are quite decent and I am especially a fan of their Hokkaido buns (photo above). Original Hokkaido Bun ($1.50)The Hokkaido bun at Mugiya are really big! Sweet and soft, these buns are best eaten when they are just out of the oven, as it might 'deflat' if left too long (or even if you poke at it). I loved the upper part of the bun which was sweet, crusty, and a pleasure to bite into. The milk filling inside was smooth and worked well with the bread to deliver a taste that was a nice balance of sweetness and milkiness. Other than the original Milk filling, these buns also come in a variety of flavours such as Chocolate, Coffee and Oreo among others. My personal favourites are the Original, Chocolate, Chocolate Almond and Oreo buns!Japanese Red Bean Bun ($1.40) Also known as the An Pan, this bun was quite airy inside with an acceptable amount of red bean paste, although it'd have been nice to have a little more of it. The red bean paste was sweet but the bun itself had a slight taste which I did not really like. On the whole though, this was quite okay but I preferred the ones from Four Leaves which I personally felt were better. Lao Po Bing ($4.50 for 4) I was quite surprised to find Chinese pastries like the Lao Po Bing here but I got a set to try. The Lao Po Bing was smoothly and consistently glazed and baked to a nice shade of brown. The pastry was not super flaky like the ones from Crystal Jade My Bread but it was decent enough for me. I liked the filling which was sweet and chewy. The portion of the filling inside was also quite generous and nice to munch on!Speaking of Chinese pastries, they also have the Sweet & Salty Tau Sar Piah here, both of which I've tried before. These were also quite good although I liked the salty version more. I have also tried a few of their other breads like the Potato Ham Bun as well as the other items like Cheesecake, Brownies and even cakes like the Tiramisu. However, the range of Hokkaido buns, Lao Po Bing and Tau Sar Piah remain my favourites. The Hokkaido buns are definitely worth a try! The prices for the buns at Mugiya are quite reasonable averaging around $1.30 to $1.60, although there is a promotion going on around 7pm daily where you can buy the various buns for only $1.10 each, which is even better value for money! Even during this late hour, there will still be fresh batches of Hokkaido buns being brought out, which is definitely a major plus in my book. All in all, I think Mugiya is worth a visit especially for that freshly baked Hokkaido Bun at only $1.10!

Always love the different types of buns and breads sold here as they aleays look very appetizing and are very sift and fresh. This outlet is also quite big and wude range of bread available here. Service here is prompt as well. This time I have bought their wholemeal buns at $3.50 per packet. Great to eat it on its own or to spread some butter on it taste equally good! The texture is firm and soft which is great for everyone.

Located at Woodlands MRT station exchange, the bakery is quite popular. One can always see long queue at the outlet. Even it is already past 9pm, one could still see freshly baked buns coming out. Each bun is priced from $1 to $1.60. But towards closing time, it will be $1.10 flat for all.One of the most popular buns is this Hokkaido bun ($1.50) in orginal flavour. It looks like bolo pau with its crispy surface. It tastes crispy and milky sweet.There is also different flavours of the Hokkaido buns. One of the flavours is Black Sesame ($1.50). The black coloured part has black sesame paste filling in it, while the other half tastes like the orginal flavour. Interesting bun. There is also other flavours such as oreo, sweet potato and chocolate.Another interesting bun is this Bread and Cake ($1.60). It is like a bread with cake filling. Unique on its own.Although the queue is long, but the 2 staffs at the counter work very fast in cashiering and packing the food items. Overall it is a good choice for a quick bite.

This bbq chicken char siew bun was wrapped in a baking sheet which had seemed to absorbed some oil and which I am not sure where it came from since the bun was baked and not fried though.Thus, I had to tear away the baking sheet to prevent re-absorbing of oil.The crust of the bun was filled with black bits which I think were seaweed bits.The fillings are flavourful but are quite little and all seemed to squeezed onto one side of the bun.
