Psst... You want discounted bread and pastries.... One can go to the Marks and Spencer Food Hall and get their very yummy breads and pastries at 50% discount. The discount would happen between 8.30pm to 9pm daily (timing varies from store to store). Well, Mrupupup went to the Marks and Spencer Food Hall in Vivocity and found there were discounts for their shortbreads, biscuits, pastries, bagels and nice savoury food items at 50% off. Food items costs between $1.70 to $3.70 (before 50% discount) and need to buy two items. Value for money and the pastries are nice. Loved their biscuits and pastries! A money saving tip from Mrupupup.             

Tiong Bahru Bakery is a very popular new bakery in of course Tiong Bahru estate (along Eng Hoon Street)! Tiong Bahru Bakery is branded as 'French Bakery' of the East. Well, judging by the crowd at this bakery it sure is a popular bakery. The bakery serves many types of breads, coffee, sandwiches, pastries and jams. Tiong Bahru Bakery is a very hip place with the 'in' crowd. The bakery was so crowded on a weekend afternoon that Mrupupup just ordered take away for the bread - a chocolate croissant (pretty good!). Ok, do take note the breads are not cheap (minimum $2 per bread). Mrpupup will be back some day at this outlet or their new outlet in Raffles City basement 1 to try out the rest of the french style breads and have a cup of coffee. Bon Jour! Tres Bien!

Paris Baguette Cafe is a newly opened bakery cum cafe in Wisma Atria (2nd floor) in Orchard Road. The cafe although named as Paris Baguette Cafe is not run by French but from South Korea. Well, Mrupupup loved their bread at the first try. The cafe serves very nice breads (French style) and even pudding in bottles. The cafe was crowded on a weekday evening and would take some time to find a seat. Mrupupup just loves bread from cheap bread to high class bread! Paris Baguette Cafe belong to the high class range of bakery and their famous baguette costs $2.50 each. Mrupupup tried their chocolate croissant (flaky and nice), mushroom pastry (very good), coffee (nice) and pudding (unique taste and yummy). All pretty good and loved how the food was served on a tray with a nice paper to gather up the bread crumbs.

Serangoon Gardens Bakery and Confectionery is famous and located in the Serangoon Gardens Market and Food Centre (store 45). The bakery is the only shop selling bread and you can see the long line of customers. It is interesting that the bakery sells very traditional bread, unlike the modern breads found in shopping centres. Traditional breads like luncheon meat bread, ham and cheese, sambal bread, kaya bread, and many kinds. All the breads costs less than $1, pretty cheap. The bread are nice and warm which is important. Mrupupup bought the tuna bread and luncheon meat bread. All very nice! Mrupupup should have bought more bread and save some money for breakfast. Good value for money!
