The booth

Located in the intersection of Bugis Junction and Hotel Intercontinental, the large black counters of the booths are hard to miss.

Adorned with wooden crates and trays, the booth has a farmer's market theme that makes the fruit and vegetable-looking buns appear like fresh produce.

You will find rows of individually wrapped buns on the counters for your selection.

The buns

Bakery 1946's picture-perfect pastries are known to taste how they look.

Here's a look at some of their classic collection:

K-Apple Bread (S$5.90)

The bakery's bestseller, which looks exactly like a red apple, features red yeast rice dough, diced apples from Daegu and cream cheese.

You can either get this individually, or in a set of six (S$35.50).

This purple sweet potato-looking bun has a chewy, mochi-like texture and contains sweet potato paste.
