As my wife bakes and cooks often, I asked my Facebook Group members for suggestion of where to find good baking supplies shop. We often frequent Sim Trading on Carnarvon Street, but the problem there is parking.
I discover that it is indeed easier to stop the car at Hock Huat, as the stretch of Claimant Place next to the police station is usually empty. I was however not going to park on the no-parking stretch, particular when the police station is right out right. So I asked my wife to go down and check out the place.
Each baking supply shop has its own style of doing things, and it's no different here. According to my wife, at Hock Huat, the flour are all in large packs. They will weigh and measure for you as and when you need them. A peculiar thing about the uncle selling the supplies does not use a calculator, and has to manually tally up the totals.
We have tried Hock Huat once, and so far, I can say we have no issue coming here.
