Tiong Bahru Bakery’s new look

Having frequented Tiong Bahru Bakery over the years, I’ve observed how much their offerings and ambiance have evolved, especially with their recent rebranding at the Eng Hoon Street flagship. One of the highlights on my visits is their Kouign-Amann soft serve. While it’s not overly sweet, I personally wish it retained more of the iconic caramelized flavor that originally made it a standout. Besides their soft serve, the introduction of the Shio Pan—a classic cream-filled bun priced at around $4.50—is an exciting new addition. It’s a soft, slightly salty bread with a creamy filling that pairs beautifully with a cup of their crafted coffee. Speaking of coffee, the beverage menu here is quite extensive, offering options like Piccolo Latte, Flat White, and the Mandarin Espresso Spritz, which add a refreshing twist. For those curious about the bakery’s halal status, Tiong Bahru Bakery’s menu and preparation methods do not specifically market halal certification, so it’s best to inquire directly if that’s crucial to you. If you plan to visit, the bakery is conveniently located at 56 Eng Hoon Street, and it’s worth checking their current opening hours online, especially for outlets like TBB Crane Road or Jem, which may have slightly different schedules. Overall, while I do miss the character of the previous store design, the updated look feels fresh and inviting. Whether you’re a long-time fan or new to their pastries, trying their new items along with classics like Kouign-Amann is a treat worth exploring. The pastries here continue to exemplify quality and creativity, making Tiong Bahru Bakery a staple stop in Singapore’s vibrant bakery scene.
