With the rise of salt bread, it only makes sense to have a go-to bakery in the city. Located at SS2, this humble new space is unique in its own way. Not only does the menu serve its own rendition of the classic baked good, but its local elements make it just as appetising. Apart from the classic salt bread, the menu includes a must-try salt bread bagel and local flavours such as serunding and Pandan Gula Melaka.

Location: 16, Mezzanine Floor, Jalan SS2/61, SS2 Petaling Jaya
