Have you tried Breadtop? It’s cheap but nasty stuff! maybe a bit expensive actually, they are much cheaper in the bigger cities -__-
Have I?! 😉
I love my Asian bakery goods, esp the cocktail buns, Japanese cheesecake, sausage buns, and sponge cakes. I admit, much cheaper and nicer in Sydney bakeries but BreadTop is really only the place to buy it in Canberra unless you wait at the Asian shops to get their Sydney deliveries. I don’t mind BreadTop’s sausage buns, custard buns and chocolate Swiss roll.

Bakery bonanza! @Chifley
——-03/03/2012——-
I love discussing food and after talking to some work colleagues about pastries, one of them mentioned delicious croissants and pastries at Chifley shops. I had no choice but to head out first thing Saturday morning to Chifley!
Wild Rye bakery is located within the supermarket at Chifley shops.
Croissants, breads and tarts – oh my! What to choose?
Okay, maybe I got a little over excited, but I don’t regret my choices:
(clockwise starting from top left)
cinnamon croissant – a subtle cinnamon taste inside a more ‘bready’ croissant
poppy seed croissant – oh my! When my work friend told this was her favourite, I thought it was an interesting concept: ‘poppy seeds were inside a croissant’. This was possibly my favourite bakery treat, the poppy seeds make a sweet nutty paste inside an almost hollow croissant.
cheese and bacon croissant – I am a big fan of bacon and cheese anything, so I was surprised to find that this wasn’t my favourite bakery treat of the day. I much prefer bacon and cheese rolls.
cream cheese and sultana danish – a nice ‘not to sweet’ combination.
apple danish – this would have been more delicious if I warmed it with some ice cream!
and a custard puff – an awesome thick custard sandwiched between a delicious sugary pastry
If you’re thinking about running to Chifley shops now to grab some croissants hold your horses, I hear the best day to go is Saturday, preferably in the morning to avoid disappointment.
You would think I would be content with all these bakery treats but I convinced Timmy to come with me on another bakery adventure as I heard there was something worth travelling to Curtain shops for.
