Sunny
The bakery that gave revival to a strip of road. How much you'd want to travel to Europe, how you don't mind being associated with Singapore once in a while. The Tiong Bahru Bakery.
With their dog tags and it's French here. (When bread is the universal staple, processed and refined everywhere). Quiches, croque monsieurs, vienna, brioches, croissants, baguettes.
Squid Ink Baguette (SGD 4.50)
The benchmark of any bakery, to sound out if its sells a bouquet of baguettes at the side. At its plainestfinest, the mark of standard. Those days where you'd need to curry up beef up curry, a caprice more than bread loaves, or just final garnish for the canvas shopping tote.
Probably its the conscious, white, sesame or wholemeal baguette. Or Tiong Bahru Bakery (guacamole bun, squid ink bun, curry bun), original, and the third in the traffic light series squid ink baguette. You would have to remember the dry, gnarled barks in their crusts of brown, and also that bleak, almost obnoxious wintry outlook in charred blackened black.
P.S. Get European-style butter and jam cartridge for the plain, dining, Tiong Bahru. The Tiong Bahru (Bakery) baguette is less crusty, more allocation for air, dense, and an acrid taste leaving of spiced tea or dried fennel seeds for the squid ink. Because there are nigella seeds spiking the black bread, then recoated in ink. A hearty introduction to the pointy plain bread. The decadence of Italian fresh or speciality or Spanish (paella), on French.
