The finest places in KL to indulge in great bread
This savoury crusty sun dried tomato bread from Hiestand just begs to be tucked into. |
Why we love it: Here you'll find authentic French breads.
Specialty bread: The baguette
Authentic French breads are the reason to drop by this
little bakery tucked away in Jalan Ipoh. Tommy Lee spent 10 years in France where he
took up certifications in pastry, confections, chocolates and bread making. He
worked for two years as a private caterer in Paris producing desserts for parties and
eventually travelled around the country to wheat mills, bakeries, and communal
ovens to increase his knowledge on breads. It was during these travels that he
picked up his incredible skills.
The breads here are as close to French standards as possible
without factoring in the altitude and humidity differences that make it
impossible to get exact French quality breads. Lee's croissants are buttery and
flaky, while his baguettes are crusty with a good hollow sound when knocked on.
This is a worthy spot to drop in and grab a bite to eat as you listen to French
radio and take in the aroma of freshly baked bread.

2. Hiestand
Why we love it: The grain breads are crusty and done just
right.
Specialty bread: Sun dried tomato bread
In the search of top KL bakeries this worthy find scored
highly with its sun dried tomato bread. The loaf is good just on its own and
even better when broken off and dipped in balsamic vinegar and olive oil.
Hiestand is a Swiss Gourmet bakery that specializes in European goodies that
are made with high quality natural raw ingredients and no preservatives or
additives.
Aside from the sun dried tomato bread you can find an entire
range of grain breads, sourdough breads, and other baked specialties. Their
breads are so popular around town that you'll find they're supplied to many
restaurants and bread shops in the city. Stop by their cafe and indulge in one
of their treats with a cup of coffee. The smell of freshly baked bread will
keep you on an all time high.

3. The Bread Shop
Why we love it: It's a cosy spot to indulge in baked treats.
Specialty bread: The broom bread
Everything made in this bakery is without preservatives and
artificial substances and on Wednesdays and Saturdays they even have organic
bread available. In keeping with the health spin The Bread Shop has created a
special bread known as broom bread that is packed with grains that are meant to
sweep your digestive system clean.
The cinnamon roll and chocolate croissant are another must
try here. The cinnamon roll is chewy and sticky sweet, while the chocolate
croissant boasts a flaky exterior revealing a chocolatey soft interior. The
minimalistic and funky decor makes this a trendy stop for that baked good fix.
