Swee Heng 1989 (The Arcade)

Wasn't too excited for this bread at first cuz it's just a baguette with butter in it, according to the description. Well I can safely say that I was super wrong about how it would taste because this vienna is pretty good!! The butter has some sugar in it, like those Sunshine butter rolls, making it sweet and more enjoyable to eat than just straight butter in bread.

The vienna is supposed to be eaten straight from the fridge, unlike the other buns being sold. Decided to be a rebel and tried half cold and the other half toasted.

Cold - quite surprised at how the bread was still really soft and chewy despite the refrigeration, because most bread becomes stale and hard. Really love that! The sugar butter mix is sweet and buttery (uhhh idk how else to describe) and overall it's a real great quick breakfast for those who find it too time consuming to heat your breads.

Toasted - the baguette retains it's chewy nature, and the toasting gives it an added crunch. Ofc the consistency of the butter sugar filling changes as the butter melts, but it's still really good!

⭐ Rating: 7.8/10 austrian bakeries
🤑 worth the price: yes
🦖 would I buy: maybe
💍 would I marry: I would date

Fragrant pandan dough with an interestingly unconventional filling making up of minced sambal chicken filling, otah, ikan billis, roasted peanuts and egg!

Was drawn when I remembered Swee Heng's Pandan chiffon appearing on ST blink tasting test. Decided to give it a go and these green pillows were dense- faintly resembling kueh by definitely softer with a predominant cake consistency.
Another thing that was faintly.... absent was a strong pandan aftertaste. While I did not dislike these sweet light cakes, occasionally I tasted minuscule round blocks of what seemed like cake-flour: not great.

Cake was moist, fluffy and is topped with Cheese. Although the serving size is good for 2-3, one could easily finish as it has a pleasantly sweet and salty flavour that keeps you wanting for more. ⚊

This green bun caught my eyes. The aroma of the pandan drew me closer. Before I could grab a tray and get my share, one lady wiped out the whole tray.... all ten pieces. Yes.... I was green with envy. But my eyes lit up and a secret smile inside, another tray of the buns were going into the oven.

Went back to the shop after 45 mins. Yay... warm sweet smelling pandan coconut bun. Soft bread bearing a subtle pandanous flavor. Caramelised shredded coconut so umami. It was good!! Imagine pairing this with traditional kopi kau. A perfect harmony of sweet and bitter. Heavenly!
