CAN: Bear's Paw Bakery

"Baking the world a better place!"

Bear's Paw Bakery is a popular spot to have a quick bite in Jasper, Canada. As my BFF and I were staying at Jasper Downtown Hostel that doesn't provide breakfast, we dropped by Bear's Paw Bakery in the morning before taking Jasper SkyTram and conquering the summit of Whistlers Mountain.


There aren't many seats inside the bakery, but we managed to get the two nearest to the door.


Sausage Roll C$2.55 (~S$2.65)
Taste: 8.5/10

Served warm, the sausage roll was appetising. The pastry was flaky, just the way I like it. I felt that it could be slightly more buttery though.


The homemade sausage made of minced pork, garlic and onions was juicy and savoury. It was seasoned with black pepper that provided a kick on the tongue.


Sticky Cinnamon Bun C$3.50 (~S$3.65)
Taste: 8.5/10

I was told by someone I met at the hostel about the bakery's amazing sticky cinnamon bun. The moment I sank my teeth into the nicely glazed bun, I could understand why he'd vouch for it. It was soft, gooey and fragrant.


Red Eye Coffee C$3.60 (~S$3.75)
Taste: 8/10

For the wake-me-up drink, I had a cup of medium-dark roast coffee fortified with a shot of espresso. It was strong and fragrant enough with just a little bit of a bitter aftertaste. It came with a chocolate ball shown in the very first photo of this post.

Melon's Rating
Taste: 8.5/10
Ambience: 8/10
Overall: 8/10

Run by the same owner is The Other Paw Bakery Café, which is nearer to VIA Rail - Jasper train station. Pika's advice: Given the name of the bakery, you may want to try the Bear's Paw, which is basically a cinnamon roll, with or without raisins. I'm not sure how much does it cost though.

SIN: Yoshinoya

Trying it again in Singapore after years! Yoshinoya is the second largest chain of gyudon (lit. beef bowl) restaurants in Japan. Although its first shop opened in Tokyo, the name of the chain actually pays homage to the former town of Yoshino in Osaka Prefecture where its founder hailed from. After years of giving Yoshinoya in Singapore a miss, I recently found myself revisiting one of its branches at Bugis Junction.

Pancake x  soufflé originated from Tokyo! Hailing from Japan, Flipper's is a chain café renowned for its fluffy, jiggly soufflé pancakes. While I've never had the chance to try the pancakes in its country of origin, I was excited to finally experience them at the Westgate branch here in Singapore, which has been drawing long lines of eager patrons.

Surprisingly rich chocolate mousse! Here's the last post to wrap up the travel to the Americas. After travelling in the Business Class cabin from Panama City, it was time to head to the back of the plane for the next leg of the journey from Istanbul, Turkey to Singapore. Despite the more modest comfort, the food wasn't too shabby.
