Good enough for me…

I think I’ve mentioned this before in some earlier post of mine that this guy used to work at a hotel in town, baking cakes and stuff and eventually, he and a colleague of his, a Malay lady, left and opened their own bakery shops…

I wouldn’t say I was really crazy over the stuff he bakes and sells, even though I quite like his mooncakes which are nice and a whole lot more affordable and I would buy them every year when the festival comes around, but at one time, I really loved his garlic buns…

They were really good and not expensive and I heard of people buying them by the boxes to take them back to their own towns and cities to eat.

I bought a packet the other day and they still tasted great except that the price had gone up from RM1.00 to RM1.30 for 4 and I do wish that there could be a little bit of quality control as I noticed that they were not as evenly oval as before and some were big and others were much smaller.

Normally, I would pop them in the oven to toast a bit so that they would be slighter harder and very crusty at the top while still nice and soft inside – I loved them that way. Well, the other day, I went a step further – I cut the buns and spread a bit a garlic butter inside and stuffed them with bacon that I had grilled till crispy…

It certainly helped to make them look less plain, don’t you think?

After some 5 minutes or so in the pre-heated oven, I took them out…

They certainly tasted a whole lot better this way, I must say as it  brought the taste up to a whole new level. Perhaps, it would be nicer with some hardboiled eggs, mashed and a piece of lettuce or a slice of cucumber perhaps, but this definitely was good enough for me… Yummmmm!!!!
