Be pan

Though it operates as a compact counter where orders are placed across the showcase, Be pan packs a distinctive array of handmade breads into its small streetfront. Located in an alleyway off the north exit of Ekoda Station, the bakery has earned a devoted following for its tender, pleasantly chewy dough with a pillowy texture.

For breakfast or lunch, the savoury breads are an easy draw, thoughtfully composed so fillings and dough meld seamlessly. Staples include the classic bacon-and-egg roll, a double sausage roll (2 in a set) finished separately with cheese and sesame toppings, and basil-scented focaccia. With tomato- and bacon-based varieties alongside daily rotating variations, there is always something new to catch the eye on return visits.

For a snack or teatime treat, the sweet bakes are equally appealing: a peanut bread filled with whole aromatic peanut bits, a sugar-butter roll offering an enjoyable grainy crunch, and a gently sweet salted-red-bean bun. Square pullman loaves are also popular for daily household tables, rounding out a selection that suits both full meals and lighter breaks.

There is no dine-in seating—the shop is strictly takeout, and payment is cash only. Because these small-batch handmade breads often sell out by midday or early afternoon, visiting earlier in the day is recommended if you have your heart set on specific items.
