Of all the districts in Singapore, Clementi cements itself as the ultimate bread haven, due to the large number of affordable neighbourhood bakeries that can be found just by wandering around Clementi Mall and the nearby marketplace. The newest addition to Clementi’s burgeoning bread community is Good Day Bakery.

Good Day Bakery is a Taiwanese bakery, located right next to Exit A of Clementi MRT Station. Don’t expect to find the usual boring breads and buns here— the offerings at Good Day Bakery are so much more enticing.

good day bakery - bakes

As I perused the bakery, I was excited to find unique bakes and desserts like sea salt Oreo cakes and seaweed truffle floss balls for sale. While these bakes were a little on the pricier end, with some cakes going up to S$8.50, Good Day Bakery also had plenty of super affordable breads and buns averaging around S$2 to S$3.

What I tried at Good Day Bakery

good day bakery - taro mochi roll

The product that caught my eye the most was the Taro Mochi Roll (S$6.50), sold in a box of 3. Each layer of cake generously sandwiched thick taro paste, and the centre of the roll was filled with vibrant orange meat floss and a silky white mochi.

Compared to other swiss rolls, the Taro Mochi Rolls were significantly smaller in size, with each roll being much tinier than my palm.

The taro paste was thick and creamy, with a very natural and earthy taste, while the slightly sweet meat floss accentuated its flavours nicely. The mochi in the centre was stretchy and bouncy, adding a delightful texture to the soft roll. The cake itself had a strong eggy taste and wasn’t sugary either— when combined with the taro paste, this creation as a whole was not very sweet, and just a tad too bland for my liking.

Though I personally would have liked for the roll to have a bit more sweetness to enhance its flavours, I’d say that those who prefer healthier, non-sweet cakes would enjoy this a lot.

The Meat Floss Cakes (S$4.80), on the other hand, were a lot more saccharine than the former. Each box came with 4 cake balls, 2 of which were coated in meat floss and seaweed, while the other 2 were covered in a darker, black truffle floss.

Every bite of the Meat Floss Cakes filled my mouth with an indulgent mix of sweet and savoury flavours. The cakes were fluffy, and the generous amount of mayonnaise within them added an intense umami-ness. I couldn’t get enough of this sinful little snack.

I was a little confused at the black truffle floss balls, as I could not taste any truffle flavour. The dark floss coating the surface of the cake had a deeper, more roasted aroma, but there was no detectable hint of truffle.

Regardless, I absolutely loved the Meat Floss Cakes, and will most definitely get them again.

good day bakery - soy box cake

Box cakes have gotten trendier over the years, and Good Day Bakery has jumped on the bandwagon with their Soy Milk Box (S$8.50). This boxed cake contained layers of soft cake and soy cheese cream, topped with a sprinkle of injeolmi.

The soft, fluffy texture of the cake was well-complemented by the light soy cheese cream. The cake as a whole was not too sweet, and the light, roasted fragrance of the injeolmi was evident. I especially liked how noticeable the soy flavour was, with a lovely nutty and bean-y aroma wafting throughout.

good day bakery - daifuku

Next up was the White Peach Snow Mei Niang (S$5.80). Each handmade daifuku was wrapped in diced peaches and cream, and were sold in boxes of 2.

The mochi skin was incredibly soft and pillowy. Biting into the White Peach Snow Mei Niang unveiled light cream and cubes of peach within. I could tell that the peach had come out of a can and wasn’t the fresh kind, but still enjoyed how it wasn’t too tart and blended nicely with the cream and mochi.

good day bakery - golden pineapple bun

Moving on to the baked buns, I was excited to try the Golden Pineapple Bun (S$2.20) at Good Day Bakery. The label did not specify what the fillings were, so I was surprised when I cut into the bun and found a centre of crumbly yellow dry custard and cranberries.

The dry custard had a milky aroma and a nice level of sweetness, while the cranberries were chewy and fruity. The bread as a whole wasn’t too dry either, though I think having a more liquid-y custard would have made the Golden Pineapple Bun more enjoyable.

good day bakery - rock roasted cheese

Finally, I opted to get the Rock Roasted Cheese (S$3) as it had a cool name. The surface of the bun was covered in a layer of roasted cheese, and when I cut into the bread, I did not expect to find that it contained blueberry jam filling.

I could barely taste the cheese element of this bread, and the layer of blueberry jam was very meagre too. If it’s any consolation, the bread wasn’t too dry and had just enough jam to give it a pop of flavour, but S$3 was way too steep of a price for something that tasted so average.

Final thoughts

good day bakery - bakes

The items sold at Good Day Bakery were pretty hit-or-miss, though I must applaud it for its creativity. After all, which other neighbourhood bakeries in Singapore offer such interesting and affordable Taiwanese bakes?

I would definitely recommend the Meat Floss Cakes to anyone looking to purchase something from Good Day Bakery. While the Taro Mochi Roll didn’t really meet my expectations, I still commend how generous, natural and un-processed the yam paste within was.

I can’t wait to return to explore the other bakes sold at Good Day Bakery!

Expected damage: S$2 – S$8.50 per pax
