Opening their flagship store in Tanjong Pagar, Champion Bolo Bun offers fresh artisanal selections of that famed cha chaan teng favourite from within a quaint 3-storey shophouse.
Perfect for a quiet getaway among the bustling business and heritage districts that surround them, the minimalistic charm of the store complements their menu of specialty bolo buns and beverages perfectly.
A result of founder Hoh Loyi’s dedication to the craft of bread-making, Champion Bolo Bun’s offerings are a testament and culmination of years of hard work under her master in Hong Kong. Uncompromising on quality and authenticity, the store’s menu places a spotlight on bolo buns.
The buns get their name from resembling the rough geometric exterior of pineapples (“bolo” is a transliteration of the Chinese term for pineapples). Authentic bolo buns have a distinct crust that is crispy and subtly sweet.
Using traditional methods, recipe, and equipment, Champion Bolo Bun pride themselves on their standards and taste – specially crafted for Singaporeans. Biting through that signature crust, you’ll find nothing but fluffy goodness underneath.
Freshly baked on-site every 15 minutes, they offer four different choices of bolo buns: the Classic, Classic with Butter, Curry Potato, and a serving of 4 Mini Classics.
The Classic presents a taste of the traditional favourite, an unembellished showing of the bun’s golden-brown crust and fluffiness within. Order a Classic with Butter to elevate your experience with a generous slab of rich melting butter from New Zealand, tucked into the middle of the bun. For those who prefer bite-sized portions, the Mini Classics are 4 little replicas of the Classic – perfect for easy picking at our office desks or for sharing with friends and colleagues.
For a stronger punch, go for their Curry Potato. Featuring a delightful balance of fragrance, light spiciness, and the irresistible bite of potatoes in curry, the flavours of their Curry Potato contrast beautifully with the sweet lightness of the bolo buns that envelop them.
Boasting unmatched freshness, we recommend biting into them as quickly as possible, and then ordering some more for a later time.
Like their buns, they pay equal attention to the quality of their beverages. Taught first-hand by tea championship masters in Hong Kong, Champion’s Signature Drinks use only premium tea leaves and coffee beans directly imported from Hong Kong.
Their unique beverage offerings include the rich and silky Champion’s Milk Tea which, we’re sure, will satisfy your longing for an authentic Hong Kong experience here in Singapore. Created by Tea Master Lee Siu Shing from his personal recipe archives, their refreshing Champion’s Lemon Tea promises to deliver a fresh burst of flavours you’ve never experienced in another cup of lemon tea.
