Started by home baker Khun Mew, Maelookanom offers a small selection of Thai Custard Filling Bread Roll in popular flavours such as Hokkaido Milk ($3.50), Thai Milk Tea ($5), and Pandan ($5.50). If you’re feeling adventurous, you can consider trying the Citrus Custard with Chicken Floss ($6)Â option.

Savoury fillings are not to be missed, either. The Fried Bread Series offers flavours including Crab Meat Mayo ($6), Pizza with Ham ($7), and Spicy Chicken Floss ($6.50). They’re packed with filling, and then deep-fried to order for maximum freshness. These fried buns are only available for pre-order, which closes every Wednesday. Collection is on Fridays.

If you love Milo, try their newest addition to the menu, Milo Croutons ($6.50), which you can also add to your online pre-order. Instead of the usual savoury seasoning, which you’ll find in most croutons, Maelookanom’s rendition uses a sweet Milo coating instead. It’s packed in a resealable packet so you can snack on-the-go, whenever you want!
