Sun Moulin Bakery

Lost and found! Unilocal,yelp, Unilocal.SunMoulin Yamazaki bakery has moved to the basement of VivoCity from its previous anchorage at Scotts Isetan. I am thrilled and glad to have found the shoppe again.
This is a shop unit by itself, although it’s confectioneries remain somewhat the same, there are some missing items that I love the baker will bring it back on the shelves. The mini green tea mochi among others are still available on the bake list, custard cream sweet buns, green tea/​original azuki bun are also on the shelves.
However, if you are like me, still longing for its bagels. aw. it is no longer available. But the cashier reassured that she will pass the message to the baker and will consider the relaunch :)) it seems many other customers are checking out the marvellous ring buns. Additionally, the sugared almond flakes wrath sweet bread is out of sight as well, the same goes to the Hokkaido cream stick bread. The only comforting sight is seeing the yummy soft wheat grain and white bread.

my all time favorite are the little mochi bread! they come in several flavors such as matcha azuki, chocolate chip, cheese, and sesame… i think there’s more but my eyes are always only on the ones listed. you can either buy them in threes or fives at less than 3 sing dollar.
best thing for breakfast but i can’t say they are that good for your hips especially if you’re a lady.
if you work in the Scotts or Wheelock area in Orchard, this is one of those bakeries that opens at 7:30am. the only down side to this place is the temporary location that they were pushed into. everything is awkward and the floor is oily and thus slippery so beware! can’t wait for them to relocate into their new place once renovation works are done.

Y’know. I’ve been coming to Sun Moulin since 2001, when the girl I was dating at the time introduced me to it.
Highschool loves come and go, but good bread is forever. 12 years later, and I’m still eating the cheese and chocolate mochi, I’m still in love with the Snow Chocolate bun, and there’re still few other places I can find my croquette bun. The Snow Apple bun, which combines a crumbly cakey bread, custard, and apples, is another great item to try. I’m also a fan of their curry bread, though it’s really best fresh.
Sure, you have these shiny bakery chains springing up all over the place, but to me, none of them compare to Sun Moulin. You don’t survive this long without being that good.

I pop by Sun Moulin whenever I want to buy freshly baked bread. Plus I love the fact they do half portions (4 – 5 slices instead of the usual 8 – 10 slices) which is very convenient. The Hawaiian bread is a bit sweetish and can be eaten on its own. For sandwiches, I like the multigrain or the queen bread.
The wide selection of buns is great for picking up snacks or as morning breakfast or afternoon tea. The humble red bean bun is heavy, filled with a generous filling of azuki red beans.
I used to like the cheese bun which is a heavy round bread filled with cubes of cheese in the middle. I think due to cost cutting, the portion has shrink and the price has gone up.
And it has the best steam bun in Singapore and I have tried those from the usual bakeries such as Four Leaves and Breadtalk. The steam bun (4 flavors — strawberry, earl grey, marble and cheese) is very light and moist, almost airy. The flavors do not taste artificial and blended in perfectly. The only drawback is that it can get a bit sweet, so it is best to go with green tea or any unsweetened beverages.
The cream puff is amazingly good. It is huge, mostly due to the mountainous whipped cream sandwiched between the pastry shells. I also like the red bean green tea cake which is not too sweet and has a nice balance of red bean sweetness and pure green tea powder bitterness.

You may have pass by Sun Moulin but missed it due to its simply decoration but it is actually quite a famous bakery that has been around Singapore for quite awhile. What you may find here are mostly Japanese bread with flavour that you may not be able to find in other side of Singapore but may be common in Japan.
You will find Azuki Bread, Macha Bread, Custard Bun and many others that are in Japanese name. There are also seasonal bread that is also not to be missed. My favourite is the bite size mochi bread with a chewy, glutinous texture. They cost $ 0.65 for one, $ 1.80 for 3, and $ 2.70 for 5, and I usually get 10. I can finish them alone, no joke.

Located at the basement of Isetan Scotts, Sun Moulin bakery is quite a popular bakery. I like how it has they roll out seasonal items in conjunction with the Japanese fairs held at Isetan supermarket. There are both the savory and the sweet type of bread here. I once tried the very popular melon bun. It was a little too sweet for my liking, but it tasted really special and pretty unforgettable. Subsequently I have grown to like the bread sold here. Not too expensive and tasty! I haven’t gotten the chance to try their cakes yet. They look really good on display. Would try it one day!
