More than just a fad from the Land of the Rising Sun, Komugi is intent on providing healthy eating that’s synonymous with the Japanese.

It's easy to be drawn to the rows of fruit-inspired breads when you step into Komugi. But then again, why wouldn’t anyone be? With delicious breads, a pleasant atmosphere and a display of delectable cakes, it’s hard to resist looking around to see what’s tasty enough to eat. It also helps that the bakery’s team of Japanese pastry chefs bake everything on a daily basis.

The Salmon Paneo for one, is a delectable creation which has bits of salmon within a bread that’s glazed over with teriyaki. Its savouriness begs for this bread to be taken with a glass of water.

Being a cheese lover, the Hanjuku Cheese range certainly didn’t disappoint my palate. Light and creamy, there’s an expert consistency between eggs and cream cheese. The half-baked cake is a dessert that’s easily one of the bakery’s must-try.

Another signature cake is the Namachoco Sand. The name is an indication of the confection’s sandy texture. Far from repulsive, the texture is a balanced finesse between sponge cake and cream. It’s worth noting that there’s a pinch of subtle bitterness intertwined with the buttery fresh cream in the green tea variant while the chocolate one consists of rich cocoa-infused cake. Its recommend the former over the latter, but it really boils down to one’s taste buds.

Over on the puff pastry spectrum, Komugi offers the Cookie Cream Puff that’s crisp on the outer layer with ample fresh and rich custard piped in between. There’s also the Creamy Custard Krone that has a crunchy exterior and creamy custard insides.

The bakery’s perennial favourite, according to Lim, is the Fuwa-fuwa Cream Bun range and it’s easy to see why. Sprinkled with sugar frosting, the soft bun has a light and airy texture while the moist centre is filled with custard flavoured with real vanilla bean.

With over 150 items to choose from, bread lovers are spoilt for choice at Komugi. Above all, there’s the assurance that the loaves you bring home are fresh and all-natural options.
