Singapore Bakery: Bunnies

With the advent of Chinese New Year a few weeks ago, we are now in the year of the Rabbit according to the Chinese Zodiac. So how appropriate that the next bakery I am going to talk about has a moniker that matches the zodiac. Tucked away in a shop-space on the 1st level of People's Park Complex (facing the Hawker Centre) in the heart of Chinatown is a bakery called "bunnies".

Their specialty? A bread bun that actually comprises of 6 smaller buns joined together and stuffed with a myriad of different fillings (Yam, Peanut, Cheese, Lotus Seed Paste (or Lian Rong in chinese), Curry etc). You could call it a 6 pack. But similarly as with Beer, consuming too many of these 6 packs would leave you an all rounder if you know what I mean :) This looks similar to what most local Singapore bakeries make when they bake bread loafs with fillings but the huge difference is in the execution. 
Check out my buns below!! (the black seeds are sesame seeds and these denote that the buns are filled with Lotus Seed Paste)

What makes this bread so good? It has this amazingly soft texture that you would be hard-pressed to find at most other bakeries and which makes you want to eat more and more. The turnover is high so most of the time you get it steaming hot from the oven.

What else is nice ? Being a creature of habit, Most of the times I always stick to the same thing aka Yam or Lotus Seed Paste buns but they do sell other types of bread, just that I didn't try anything other than the above-mentioned. Do let me know if you come across other must-haves. 
Taste Verdict: Buns are fluffy-soft and should be eaten soon after purchase to get the maximum effect. Not many bakeries(if any) I know can come close to this standard of soft.
Price: S$1.30 per piece (for the 6 pack)
Where to get it: People's Park Complex, 1 Park Road #01-66
FYI: No rabbits were harmed in this bakery or in the creation of this blogpost.
