Guschlbauer Review: Oozing Cream Cheese Buns and Croissant-Donut from Austria
Guschlbauer at Punggol Waterway Point From feasting on cheese-drenched burgers by Nadim’s Delight to digging into Bangkok’s famous cheese toast Say Chiizu , you can pretty much tell that we are crazy about cheese. And hot on our radar is Austrian bakery Guschlbauer , which boasts outlets in Toronto, Seoul and Hong Kong…
Oozing Cream Cheese Buns At Punggol Food at Guschlbauer Founded in 1919, Guschlbauer is best known for their quarter cheese buns. So naturally, we ordered their Cheese Buns Original ($5.80) .
After reading reviews of Guschlbauer on TripAdvisor, we decided to heat the buns in the microwave for 15 seconds for optimum taste. And it was a good decision we did just that, as the cream cheese started oozing out slightly, making it even more appetising.
Plus, the texture of the bread was not compromised – it was still soft and did not turn hard or chewy. Before being generously slathered with velvety smooth cream cheese, instead of being stuffed, the buns were horizontally sliced. I find this gave it a better ratio of filling to bread, and you are promised a cheesy bite with every mouthful.
I liked how the cream cheese was mild in flavour – it was not too sweet or salty. In fact, it was not as decadent as it seemed, and it was easy to consume the cotton-like bun without feeling jelak.
Aside from the original cream cheese flavour, Guschlbauer in addition churns out tiramisu, chocolate and matcha-flavoured cheese buns. Sadly, they were not ready when we were there, even though it was already 12pm – two hours past their debut hour!
The only other item on display, aside from the usual loaves of bread, was Kissling ($8.80) . As I took a whiff of the Kissling, I was greeted with a tantalising aroma that strongly reminded me of ham and cheese croissant.
Similar to a good croissant, it had a crisp surface and a chewy centre. Ambience at Guschlbauer Like most bakeries, it’s grab-and-go at Guschlbauer. I suggest coming by during the evening or late afternoon, when all their buns are, hopefully, ready and on display.
Going to To top it off, the counter staff actually, ready by 11am, only to be informed again, after waiting an hour, that I would need to wait until 12pm instead. The verdict The buns at Guschlbauer were of high quality and I wouldn’t mind having them on a daily basis – but not on my budget. On the other hand. the price of the Kissling is rather decent for its size.
Even so, it’s still not something I would spend my money on, unless I’m feeling rich or want to acquire it for my mom to try.
