Indulge in superb gourmet pastries with this list of some of the best bakeries in the Klang Valley.
Der Backmeister
A German bakery in TTDI that shelves some of the most delightful, dense, dark breads including some made from traditional German recipes that emphasise authentic, wholesome goodness. Some of their specialities include the ‘Sesam Semmel’ (Sesame Roll) and the ‘Bauern Brot’ (Farmer’s Bread Loaves) but they have tons of pretzels, pastries and almond cakes to savour. It’s clear that what these bakers do every day is really hard work and its half science and half an art. With the tagline, “quality to tradition”, Der Backmeister which means master baker in German certainly is upholding that name. The bread is scrumptious by itself, needing just maybe a little butter. A must try would also be their ‘OppaKlaus’ with 80 percent rye content that will turn anyone into a German bread believer.
