The Ultimate Guide To Buying Bread And Baked Goods During Lockdown
A useful list that should only be shared on a 'knead to dough' basis
This article was originally published on April 30, 2020 and was updated on May 6, 2021
1/8 Der Backmeister
Dark, dense and deeply flavoured (much like the music of Rammstein), German bread is intended to deliver nourishment through all seasons. The Klang Valley's only specialised German bakery does all sorts, from the common ciabatta to something curious called caviar bread (German-style baguette) and believes in using zero sugar, zero preservatives, and zero additives.

2/8 Dou Dou Bake
Despite their feelings towards the title, Dou Dou Bake is often dubbed one of the most Instagram-friendly cafés in town. You might not be able to soak in their zen ambiance for the time being, but definitely get their pastries and hearty sourdough loaves to go.
TATLER TIP: Feed the whole family by ordering Dou Dou's 'Baker's Choice', namely an assortment of nine pastries.

3/8 Huckleberry Food & Fare
While we won't be hanging out on Huckleberry Food & Fare's airy porch anytime soon, we can at least enjoy their bakery's bounty at home. Snap up their seasonal Nutella croissants and doughnuts as soon as they're back in stock; it takes mere hours for them to perform a disappearing act.

4/8 Provisions
Providing neighbourly service to the residents of Damansara Jaya and beyond, this bakery cum provisions store is run by the same friendly souls behind LI Restaurant. Pair the Smoked Duck Bun with some equally smoky lapsang souchong tea before satisfying your sweet tooth with a Dark Chocolate Milk Bun. Pantry staples on their retail shelves include heirloom grains by Langit Collective.

5/8 Tommy Le Baker
Manned by no-nonsense Tommy and his team, this sunlit spot in the Zhongshan Building is an open secret for those seeking a slice of real life in Kuala Lumpur. His baked goods are the stuff of Parisian boulangeries with the exception of several zany inventions like the Sourdough Cookies and Roti Kueh. Tommy Le Baker is also one of few stockists of Minus 4 Degrees ice cream.

6/8 Kenny Hills Bakers
The most common reaction for anyone walking into Kenny Hills Baker is to go wide-eyed with wonder. Who wouldn't, given the bakery's mouthwatering stacks of pastries and pies? Best-sellers include the all-butter croissants, cruffins with salted egg or tiramisu fillings, and organic sourdough pizzas, all of which are available for takeaway or delivery.

7/8 Nourish By KHB
Cut from the same cloth as Kenny Hills Baker, Nourish is a tight little space in Plaza Damansara with a daily specials board and al fresco seating looking out onto Jalan Setia Murni. Weekly lunch specials aside, it's the baked goods—think peach strudel, hefty pies, and burnt caramel canelés—that warrant return visits.

8/8 Universal Bakehouse
Business has been brisk at Table & Apron's attached bakery ever since they opened. We love the rustic signage at the storefront and the fact that they have five types of sourdough on their menu. Get a pillowy doughnut the size of a baseball mitt, and good luck eating that without spilling sugar on yourself!
