Katong Sin Chew Confectionery, An Old School Bakery Hidden At Bedok That Serves Tasty Curry Buns

It was a normal Sunday afternoon right after our regular basketball group gathering around Chai Chee area and all of us were deciding where to have lunch.

We decided to head over to Boon Keng Fish Soup at Bedok North (look out for the fish soup review soon) for our lunch.

While reaching the coffee shop, we pass by a quiet bakery shop that is just beside the coffee shop and one of our basketball kakis recommended us to try this old school bakery. He mentioned that we die die must try their curry buns which is one of the best in town and highly addictive.

Hotdog Bun And Donut Review

We proceeded to get the curry buns right after our fish soup and was told that the buns will be ready around 1245 pm. As such, a few of us decided to try the hotdog buns and donuts while waiting for the curry bun.

The hotdog bun was great, the texture is soft and it feels like there are multiple layers when you eat it. The hotdog seems to have been fried a bit before they combine it with the dough. You can feel the light fragrance of butter when you bite the hotdog.

Time For Curry Buns

At 1245 pm, we decided to head back to the bakery shop and check whether the curry buns are ready. We managed to get a few for our group to try it.

The bun was soft and look fluffy. It was warm as it’s just freshly baked. Although it does not look tempting as other confectionery, the texture of the bun was soft when you bite it. You can feel a light buttery flavor and goes well together with the curry.

All of us agreed that it was one of the best curry buns we had tasted and it is really addictive.

Crazy Shopping To Buy Buns And Pastries

Before we left, we decided to get some buns back for our family members to try. We were surprised that the quiet shop earlier on is now packed with customers queuing up and buying their buns and cakes.

This was the first time that we saw a confectionery shop so packed and they were buying 4 to 6 buns at a go when the buns were brought out by the staffs.

We ended up joining the crowd and this was our first time spending more than $50 dollars to buy buns and other pastries.
