Bakery 1946, Suntec

Bakery 1946 (#01-604/605, Suntec City Tower 3, 8 Temasek Boulevard) is from Korea. They opened up earlier in the middle of the year and seemed to have gotten attention for their vegetable/fruit shaped breads. These were from a couple of visits.

Got a bunch of stuff. The most memorable one being the garlic and cream cheese bread which was apart from being garlicky and filled with cream cheese, was also slightly sweet. Nice.

The corn shaped one which was mochi-like had cream cheese and corn inside. Not bad tasting.

 

Chestnut shaped one also had the same chewy mochi skin and was filled with sweet bean paste and bits of chestnut. Not bad tasting too.

Mugwort bread, also a mochi skin variety which was stuffed with red bean paste. Also pretty decent.

There's one shaped like an apple with little chunks of apple and also cream cheese. Apparently a signature of theirs. Those apples were way too sweet and the bread had an odd waxy texture. Didn't like it. Will not get this again.

Mango bingsu's not bad. The mango tasted...different. There was an aroma I wasn't familiar with in mangoes and they were pretty sour. The latter made them good pairing with the milk in the shaven ice and condensed milk though.

Found it odd that the mugwort latte's flavour reminded me of some Chinese herbal tea. That being said, I liked it.

The second time we were here, we noticed how icky things could get in the crowd. Some auntie let her kid run around, oblivious possibly but I rather believed turned a blind eye to the fact that he was touching various breads on display with his grubby bare hands. 😓

Breads brought out to cool can be stacked pretty low and close to the floor - those bakes a resting for all the dust billowing around whenever one of their staff was sweeping the floor. I'm now inclined to imagine that invisible patina whenever I look at them. 😓 

Carrot's another mochi skin bread. I'm not sure what the fillings were but I think it's some sort of cheese or custard with bits of carrot. Couldn't taste any carrot.

Twisted donut tasted like the old school fried ones.

Tried their K ginseng shake out of curiosity. Wasn't so much a shake than a ice blended sweet milk with ginseng flavour. Flavour unexpectedly grew on me. 😬
