J: Oh no here I go again, WAHHHHH!!! i found my bread heaven in sg! Barcook Bakery serves the softest bread n buns u can ever find in sg! U can easily locate this shop at hong lim complex simply by following the smell of the bread loaves. Upon reaching, it's no surprise to see a long queue unless u really reach early in e morning when they just opened n most bread arent ready yet lol. The best seller of this bakery is of course their raisin cream bun ($1.30). It is sooooo soft, airy n fluffy! Their cream cheese oozes out of the bun when u sink ur teeth into it! The cream cheese texture is cream n not too sticky. Its not too heavy to make u feel sick after finishing 1 bun. Everytime i finish 1 raisin cream i regretted not buying 2! And needless to say, its best eaten IMMEDIATELY when its just out of the oven n e bun is still fat n hot haha. Trust me, it's isnt as nice when it gets cold n deflates into e flat raisin cream. Microwaving it at home doesnt raise its quality to tt when its just hot out of the oven.

My 2nd fav must be their german muesili loaf ($3.50) which is always reserved. So be sure to call n reserve it before collecting! They r really generous with the seeds n nuts in german muesili loaf. Best eaten within the 1st day bcos the bread is really soft. It is soo soft that u gotta hold it with both hands while eating bcos it gets flimsy lol.

A: Even someone like me who doesn't like cheese LOVE THIS CREAM CHEESE BUN!!

J & A's ratings: 5/5 for raisin cream fresh out of the oven, 4.75/5 for german muesili loaf

Chin Mee Chin Confectionary- a disappointing & unhappy breakfast

J: Upon stepping into this confectionary, immediately i had e feelings of e old sch kopitiam. There r displays of the various buns n puffs & CMC's kitchen is v open where u can c all e workers baking, making kopis, tehs, half-boiled eggs etc. However, one major turnoff was the attitude of this auntie who made herself looked v busy although there's only 1 couple other than us waiting to order our food. She made us wait & gave us the cant-be-bothered attitude while taking our orders & this really pissed us off. Woke up early for a nice breakfast & this is what we got grRRrr. Anw, the breakfast was a MAJOR DISAPPOINTMENT too.

Raisin Bun & Custard Puff

The custard puff is the kind of custard which i hated most. Buttery jammy texture, not the milky smooth liquid custard which I like. The raisin bun has a very awkward taste which smelled weird to me. Most decent bun of all must be their homemade bun with kaya which is a soft fluffy bun slapped with sweet smooth kaya. Well, the bun is decent but the kaya's tad too sweet for me. Lastly, my kopi-o tasted like plain water. Diluted and not gao at all. I only had 3 sips n left with almost a cup full of kopi-o. Very disappointing indeed. Oh i forgot to mention they took years to make e half boiled eggs! We finished all the buns n puffs n e auntie hasnt even started making our eggs. In e end, we cancelled our orders -.-"" I would never head back to CMC confectionary again.

A: Nothing much to comment as I feel that the raisin bun, custard puff was horrible! And hoping that I could find a better Teh 'C' Kao after Tong Ya, I decided to order the same thing from CMC. It tasted like DRAIN WATER! Yucks!

J's ratings: 2/5 for custard puff, raisin bun & kopi-o, 3/5 for homemade bun with kaya
