Two printed menus on a wooden stand at a counter. One menu lists tarts, desserts, traditional bread, and sandwiches with prices in dollars. The other menu features coffee, tea, and milk tea options with hot/ice variations and prices. A staff member wearing a mask is partially visible behind the counter.
couldn't find their plaza sing outlet to feedback but it was almost non existent. Check out my video today when we visited. no one was attending at the counter for a good 5-10mins while food was displayed outside. maybe someone had a diarrhea in the toilet.

Avoid this branch! Lady with the glasses doesn’t want to answer queries about her products. Queried in English she responded in mandarin. When I spoke in Mandarin she then responded in English. The tarts were stale and are usually better at other stores.

Pretty good egg tarts when they’re fresh out of the oven, but they get soggy easily once they cool down. Not too sweet, which I always appreciate.

Have been frequenting them since they open up cafes islandwide, though mostly in town, where we can take a break from our walks to enjoy some affordable snacks and drinks. …

Astonished and then found it funny at the way the bread loaf was sliced. Staff could have just rejected if she can't slice bread. But working at a bread shop, slicing bread is part of the bread and butter.
