Oishi Pan Bakery - 190 Lor 6 Toa Payoh

TL;DR: The bakers are continuously trying new formulations and tweaks to existing recipes. So, lots to try and re-try! Cool!?? Update Sept 2018: My new favourite- Charcoal nut casia. It has 3 types of nuts- almond, walnut and pecan in charcoal bread, savoury. Has a hint of garlic bread in it. Best eaten fresh. Update Nov 2017: Tried new breads: flaxseed cranberry- you can taste the mix of flavours, they complement quite well; oh, did I mention the cheese in the middle? ? sesame peanut- ?; Tried taste sample of Christmas 2017 offerings- Tasty, and not too sweet … No spoilers here!! ? Still love the Castella original; also the ham cheese donut (cream cheese … 'nuff said). Updated Sep2017: Current favorite: Margarina French ? New Offering and the current Rage: Castella cake with variations of original, chocolate, cheese, green tea. ? Updated June2017: Gotta try (??) Cranberry loaf; Orange brioche; Poolish baquette (weekends only); Banana cake; Garlic bread; Fruit rye loaf; Sesame walnut; Sun-dried tomato Foccacia; Potato loaf; Honourable mentions ⭐. ?>Five grain loaf. Tasty, with a slightly crunchy thin crust. Heavenly smell ( I got it off the rack, still warm)☺. ⭐>green tea anpan (adzuki) bun. tasty, not too sweet. They use anpan paste & beans imported from Japan. ? ?>The matcha melon bun is very fragrant, and kind of sweet ? because of the icing sugar on top. ??>Try the Poolish baquette- baked only on weekends. After chewing it a while, the aftertaste is heavenly! ? ?>Banana chocolate bread- you can taste both, but esp the choc; it's sweet. good for a sweet tooth! ? ?>Honey wholemeal. Nice, not sweet at all. Soft bread. Hint of the honey. ?> Japan Sweet Potato bun. Nice purple soft bread, has yellow sweet potato filling with chunks of sweet potato peeking through the bun! Now has Cheese innards!! ??> Fruit rye loaf (rye bread with walnut, orange peel, fruit bits). Crusty with a body of mixed texture. Nice.? ?>Pumpkin red bean bun- red bean with piece of pumpkin. ??>Orange brioche. Ahhhh, nice, with bits of orange. ??> Cranberry loaf. Nice sized loaf, tasty wiith the cranberry giving flavour. Update: now comes with cheese innards. Ahhhh!! the best combi!! ? ??>Sun-dried Tomato Foccacia. ? likes it; just like pizza in a bread. ☺ Update: now there's also Sun-dried Tomato salty bread. ? ??>Banana cake- tasty, spongy cake. ? >Red date bun. ??>Garlic bread. to die for. ? ?>Prune loaf. Uses a levain starter, similar to the wholemeal baquette; apparently takes a longer ferment, like the Poolish baquette. Bread with a mouthful of real prune! ??-> Potato loaf. sampled this. chewy, faint taste of potato. Crazy yummy!! ??>Sesame walnut. This is great texture and taste. Can eat this for a main meal, in place of rice! ? -> The green tea loaf- premium flour, different from the green tea anpan bun (which uses normal flour). -> Luo Han Guo loaf- soft and chewy like the honey wholemeal.

Very nice cosy bakery with extremely friendly service. The bread is one notch up compared to those in the neighbourhood. Reminds me of Japanese and European style of bread. They have sourdough bread too. The Japanese style cheese cake is addictive. A good find for those staying in Toa Payoh Bishan area.

I catered pastries from Oishi Pan Bakery for a birthday celebration in the office. The pastry that I ordered includes their best seller sponge cakes, cream puffs and special orders for vegetarians. Surprising when the cakes came, they were still warm and it still taste SO GOOD! I highly recommend anyone to cater from Oishi Pan Bakery for your parties and events. The bosses are nice and they even customize 'vegetarian' pastry for me. Even though he removed the milk, garlic and egg ingredients, their sourdough bread still taste good and chewy.

Super yummy bread!! Look at the banana in the chocbanana bread!

Have always been patronising this bakery since years ago. This humble bakery bakes really quality bread and cakes. Prices are also really reasonable! Recommendations: banana walnut loaf, German pudding, strawberry tart. They are offering free delivery above $35 during this circuit breaker period which is a steal!

bought a few bakes on different weekends before leaving a review here. The chocolate cube loaf is awesome very yummy indeed! purchased 3x already! (UPDATE: curry cheese doughnut bun delicious! ??bought Ciabatta today…. shall see how that goes ?) the vietnamese baguette isn’t worth buying as i’ve tasted better! earl grey cranberry round loaf wasn’t anything fancy as there isn’t a hint of earl grey at all… soft texture but in general meh. individual buns like sausage roll, coffee bun lack a punch…& pricey…can’t compete with the likes of the common bread bakery Four Leaves. overall find this truly personal preference in flavours and textures. but if you have a thing for artisan bakeries and have a palette for good breads…. Oishi is alright for its prices… I wouldn’t pay anything more for sure.

Good quality bakery with home delivery service ! We have a burger feast at home and ordered their burger bun. It’s very soft and crispy after toast with butter. Other breads are tasty too! Highly recommended :)

Heard rave reviews so went and bought a few items. Got the cheese castella cake, kayak cake and cheese donut. All were okay, quite tasty and fresh.
