Bread & Better Bakery Takes Johor Bahru by Storm with Japanese-Style Shiopan
Johor Bahru's culinary scene welcomes a new sensation with the opening of Bread & Better Bakery, quickly becoming a must-visit destination for pastry enthusiasts. Located at 1, Jalan Kasa 7, Taman Sentosa, the bakery has garnered significant attention for its unique 'Bakery Wonderland' interior and its specialization in Japanese-style shiopan. The bakery prides itself on hand-rolling its shiopan using premium French butter, ensuring a rich and crisp bite. Bread & Better offers an impressive array of 12 creative flavors, including Mentaiko, Pistachio, Otak, and the popular Cream Cheese Scallion Shiopan. In addition to their signature shiopan, the bakery also features a selection of desserts, such as Portuguese egg tarts and strawberry cakes. Since its soft launch, the bakery has experienced an overwhelming response, with customers reportedly grabbing items off the racks within seconds of restocking. Patrons are advised to arrive early, as the bakery limits its production to 1000 items per day during the soft launch period, and has even had to pause operations at times due to the immense crowds. The popularity underscores its rapid rise as a local favorite.
