So this morning we had a delivery of helmets to ITE Simei. The appointment was at 9am, I slept at 630am, so I incoherently told my brother, “mmpf cannot open maa eyes lah”. Or something along the lines of that. So mom, bro and dad went instead. So when I eventually could open my eyes at 10am, they were still not back yet. So I decided to make my brekky, grilled cheese toast which I have been craving since I watched an episode of “Man Vs Food Nation”, was not a success coz the pan was too hot. Who screws up grilled cheese? Me apparently , still it was some what edible and cheesy. Mom came home half hour later freaking out that she might have left something burning on the stove. I shouted out, nah just me your bimbotic daughter. Mom saved the day, she bought me lots for brekky. Laksa and my favourite, mini sausage rolls! So these sausage rolls are from Swee Heng, a Chinese bakery with halal certification from MUIS. They’re located at Geylang Serai Market. I think they have quite a few bakeries dotted all over our little red dot (Singapore). Anyways back to the sausage rolls, they’re like puffy soft pillows. Unlike their Australian counterpart which uses puff pastry, this was using a sweet bread roll. Yumminess!

Bostock
The first time I tried this delightful almond creation was when mom and I came upon it at Canele. At The Bread Project today, there was a full tray of bostock resting on the shelf. We bought five pieces, for the five of us.
Alright this is what I have to say about The Bread Project’s bostock, it’s out of this world, instead of just a sliced of brioche or challah topped with almond cream and almonds, this was a sandwich! A not so sweet almond cream mixture, mmm frangipane, slathered between two slices of brioche, topped with a generous amount of the almond cream, a nice handful of almonds, baked in the oven till perfection and then dusted with icing sugar.
As you bite into the bostock, there’s that nice crunch that you’d hear similar to when you bite into a meringue or a macaroon. The almond cream topping was baked till it was golden crisp! The edges of the brioche sandwich were crispy too, and as you take another bite, you get to the soft almost tender almond cream filling. Hmmm there’s four more bostock left in the paper bag mmmmmm

Chocolate Concha
Today marks our 2nd visit to The Bread Project
and we were greeted with a nice spread of breads different from last Saturday. At this bakery, there’s a different menu for everyday so you can get to try different breads on every visit. I so wanted to try the croissants, but they hadn’t made them yet
On today’s offerings there were baguettes, ciabata, orange blossom, brioche tete, bostok and chocolate concha! The only bread I managed to take a picture of today before chomping down was the chocolate concha that was cooling on the racks just freshly out of the oven. In Mexico, this pan dulce, sweet bread, comes in different coloured sugar toppings. This chocolate concha is a round ball of brioche that’s filled with chocolate and topped with a sandy chocolate topping. Delicious! Now if only there was a San Churro chocolate cafe in Singapore, I’d love to dip these conchas into a mug of thick rich hot chocolate! Mmmmmm I can just imagine it
