We’re big fans of hawker bakeries in Singapore and have visited quite a few over the years. So, when Baker RST popped up at  Empress Road Food Centre, we were naturally curious. Their “boat” pizzas and unique muffin flavours offer a fun twist you don’t usually see at hawker bakeries.

But what really impressed us was the person behind the bakes. Ryan, the pastry chef, trained at Le Cordon Bleu and even received the prestigious Dux Award for being one of the top students in his cohort.

There are three muffins and three boat pizzas to choose from, with everything baked fresh from scratch. For muffin fans, try the local favourite Pandan Kaya Coconut Gula Melaka ($2.90), finished with desiccated coconut.

If you prefer a fruity combination, the Banana Mixed Berry Lemon Crumble ($2.90) is a safe bet, while the Torched Marshmallow Nutella Oreo Dark Chocolate ($3.10) is something we’d get when in the mood to indulge in a decadent treat.

Next up are the “boat” pizzas, which are essentially mini boat-shaped pizzas made to be bite-sized. There are three savoury options for you to choose from.

The Chicken Ham, Tomato, Pineapple & Cheese ($2.60) is a timeless favourite for fans of Hawaiian pizza. For something bolder and more adventurous, try the Chilli Crab, Prawn, Fish & Cheese ($2.70) or the Hainanese Curry Chicken Ham & Cheese ($2.60), both packed with flavour.
