These were the last two filled buns that were left when we visited Jie Bakery at 9.30pm so we had to snatch them up.
If you’ve tried the traditional bakery at Whampoa, this bun isn’t as soft and fluffy. Unlike the filled breads there, the top is glazed and soft instead of crusty. The bread to filling ratio is very good, there was lots of hae bee hiam spilling out of the bun and even better - the hae bee hiam was actually spicy and super aromatic. I’d buy this again if I see it for sure!
This is another gem of a traditional bakery that’s a dying breed in Singapore. All the breads are baked the traditional way, and it shows from how fresh and soft they are.
The loaves are already sliced for you, but you can choose to add on some spreads for an additional cost. The flower bun was exceptional with the homemade Kaya and peanut butter, as the bread was unbelievably soft. Sorry Ya Kun, I love your steamed Kaya peanut bread, but I’d eat this any day even without steaming because the bread is just crazy soft. I liked the contrast of the ultra soft white bread against the chewy crust exterior. Plus the spreads are so good, they’re not too sweet, and they’re so gooey that they spread even easier than butter. Be warned that the spreads might even leak onto your clothes!
Jie Bakery is open till late, and chances are you can still grab some of these loaves, but you may not see other buns with ingredients left. Also, the Chinese lady who was working there at 9.30pm was pretty rude so don’t expect good service. Still worth the trip down no matter what because of how good the bread is!
Fluffy loaves and sausage buns.

The aroma of the banana is strong in this one
The texture feels like I am eat banana kueh.

Nothing beats having freshly baked 🍞 to kick start the day 💗 Super in love with their Big Bun!! It's so fluffy, I'm gonna die!
Am not exaggerating at all. Definitely the fluffiest bread I ever ate 😋 Chose traditional kaya & peanut butter as spread. Super yum!! Old is indeed gold 😉
fine I cut it with the wrong knife but this. Is some whimsical beauty.
I took a thick slice, toasted it and slathered a thick robe of chunky peanut butter. It was HOT GOOEY AND BEAUTIFUL
9/10
(bread was very plain, would have love a tad more sweetness? And I’m really not a sweets lover but I guess there was some expectation by all the colours for this to be at least a little sweet tasting like the white bread loaves from the supermarts?)
