Rainforest Bakery Penang

Rainforest Bakery, it's very well known bakery in Penang which serves healthy bread and buns.

The main shop is in Chulia Street. they have another branch in Sungai Ara. It was managed by a friendly twin brothers, named Jesse & Jerry Tan.

The special thing about Rainforest Bakery is that they do deliver the freshly made breads and buns to your doorstep. They have regular customers, local and those expatriates who lives in Penang who ordered from Rainforest Bakery. Besides this, they do have deliver their breads to most of the International schools and also a few prominent hotels.

As explained by Jesse Tan, the breads and buns are freshly made daily. They would not keep their bread and buns overnight. Those balance left at the end of the day, they will send it as a charity.

As for Easter Day celebration, they do have special buns served during this season.

it's called the 'Hot Cross Bun'.

It's a fruity with some superior spices that they imported from Germany. There are 8-9 types of spices ingredients. And the topping is thin layer of some sugar glazing. Rainforest Bakery breads has no preservatives.

The bun is soft yet dense and heavy. It has the taste of the spices with some butter flavoursome. If you wish to have more buttery taste, you may apply some butter as additional filling in the bun. All depends on individual liking.

Next, comes my favourite English Muffins. It's a plain buns and plentiful if you have even one piece of it. It comes with 4 pieces in a pack for Rm4.50.

The traditionally made kind of English Muffins are seasoned with semolina. This semolina originally is soft, and when we baked it, the semolina becomes crunchy. And that makes it unique.

Normally for method to have English muffin is to have various type of toppings and toast it. Then, it's near to perfection, as you will feel the softness of the inner side and the crunchy feeling at the outer side..

This is ideal for breakfast and tea time. We can mix with scramble eggs, with butter and jam or with egg benedict and ham. The below is the muffin with egg benedict, it has Hollanese sauce on top of the egg and also ham.

We may also mix with Honey Roasted bacon with melted red cheese. This combination had slight salty taste..

Besides the above 2 items, they do have other healthy bread, like the Raisin Twist, Bagel Sesame and Bagel Poppy..

Foccacia bread..my favourite too..:)

We had a try on this Chewy Nut Trail Cookie...it's crunchy yet not too dry..it's Devilicious..

Nice to have it during teatime to go with your favourite coffee or tea..

Some freshly made muffins on the shelf too, like the Plum Muffin.

They also have some sweet pastry like the Apple Crumble, Yogurt Limonata cake, Butter Cake, Banana Cake and Brownies.

Other breads and buns are like the Maize Bread, Sour Dough, Malt Bread, Chelsea bun, Walnut Raisin, Scones, French Baguette, Grainy Baguette, Ciabatta, English Bloomer and many others.
