Bakery That Opens Just 4 Hours A Day Sells Old-School Curry & Coconut Buns At $1 For Two
Mention good, affordable eats in Toa Payoh, and the $1 nasi lemak from Muslim food stall Kedai Makan Muhajirin at Lorong 7, probably comes to mind. But did you know that just a few doors from the kopitiam is another budget gem: Omzyn Cake Confectionery?
The traditional bakery sells old-school buns at just $1 for a pack of two to four rolls – a steal given today’s rising costs. It’s run by 73-year-old baker Ah Poh, who has been selling his buns at the same price for more than two decades.
Despite operating at the current premises for 16 years, the bakery, which is decked out with a hodgepodge of garish wrapping paper and tablecloth, is one of the best-kept secrets in Toa Payoh. Its customers are mostly regulars living in the area and even our friends who frequent the hawker centre nearby didn’t know of its existence.
