#moji bakery

I think this is the very last time I purchased pastries at Moji Bakery. This used to be my wallet friendly go-to outlet when I am craving for sweet or savoury pastries. The standards of the baked goods had deteriorated 👎 by so much that I suspected their experienced pastry chefs might have left the bakery. Just look at the cross section of the Sweet Tau Sar Piah (甜豆沙饼). The dough is so thick that it interferes with the enjoyment of the pastry. But that is not the worst yet, the bean paste doesn’t even taste like it is made from mung beans! Sadly, I had to discard them into the bin. 😞

These Pandan Salted Bean Pastries (香兰咸豆沙饼) from Moji Bakery consisted of a layer of sweet pandan bean paste sandwiched with another layer of salty bean paste. The fillings are enclosed within a flaky pastry and topped with almond flakes. For the last couple of years or so, their pastries standard had dropped by so much that we stopped buying from them. I am not sure if their chef(s) left or the shop lost its mojo ✨️ but recently, I noticed that they no longer sell these baked pastries. Anyway, I paired the pastries with a cup of less sweet Milk Tea. ☕️

When I am tired of eating breads, I will pick up some baked pastries like this Pandan Salted Bean Pastry (香兰咸豆沙饼) from Moji Bakery located within Sembawang MRT Station. Priced at S$1.20 each or S$3 for three pieces. You get a sweet green pandan flavoured bean paste over a savoury bean paste within a flaky pastry shell. But lately, their standard seems to have been fluctuating between good and horrible tasting pastries. Not sure if because of different chefs or quality control issues.

While their other bakes like buns and cakes are just garden variety, Moji Bakery do have one saving grace. Their pastries were very good like this Yuan Yang Pastry (鸳鸯豆沙饼) which has both salty and sweet bean paste in it. Each piece cost S$1.50 and about double the size of a traditional Tau Sar Piah (豆沙饼).

I passed by Moji Bakery every day after work so I would dropped in to buy their baked pastries which are pretty good. Picked up a flaky sweet Kaya Puff (咖椰角) for S$1.20 and three savoury Seremban Char Siew Pau (芙蓉烧包). These baked char siew buns are priced at 1 for S$1.80 or 3 for S$5 and are filled with juicy diced barbecued pork.

It is not easy to buy this Salty Pandan Tau Sar Piah (香兰咸豆沙饼) at Moji Bakery. When I go to work in the morning, these snacks were not out of the oven yet. On the way home in the evening, they are usually sold out for the day or left just a couple of pieces which I find not worth the value since they are sold for S$1.20 each or 3 for S$3. Enclosed inside the flaky pastry are half each of sweet pandan flavoured tau sar (mung bean paste) and savoury bean paste with almond flakes on top of the crispy pastry. You get the additional pandan flavour mixed with the traditional tau sar taste.

This is the first time I bought these Salty Bean Biscuits (酥皮咸豆沙) from Moji Bakery located within the Sembawang MRT premise. Cost S$1.20 for one or three for S$3 so I grabbed the later. Not sure what is the taste difference between this flatter and bigger tau sar piah (豆沙饼) compared to its smaller cousin. Maybe it is supposed to be crispier/flakier but as I did not eat it on the day of purchase, I found them almost alike. :D

These pastries are from Moji Bakery located at Sembawang MRT Station. Although their breads and cakes aren’t fantastic, it is the pastry items that are the highlight. The Mini Yam Pastries (S$3.50 each) are really good though on the expensive side. The Seremban Char Siew Buns (芙蓉烧包) used to cost only S$1.50 but had since went up to S$1.80 each. Sis love the savoury sweet and juicy char siew (叉烧) or savoury barbecued chicken filling inside. The S$1.50 Yuan Yang Pastry (鸳鸯) comes with a mixture of both sweet and salty bean paste inside.
