Freshly Baked Muffins

His muffins are so popular and freshly baked that there is a long queue (everyday?). He is so busy - baking muffins and attending to customers at the same time.

His "juggling balls" routine follows:
He would put trays of muffin mixture in oven. Take out trays of freshly-baked muffins. Take out the muffins from the trays and put them in display window. Go to kitchen at the back and check for trays of muffin mixture of a flavour he is looking for. Bring the tray and put it in the oven.

Then attend to customers. While packing the muffins in boxes, some customers who have made an order in advance come and interrupt him and ask him: "Where is my order?". He would search for his customers' boxes of muffins in his stall. Some boxes are on table outside his tall, waiting for customers to collect them. Sometimes customers who collect their orders would make enquires and their enquires can go on "forever".

After attending to next 2 or 3 customers, he goes back to Step 1 - baking muffins in oven. The cycle is repeated.

Queuing up, the customers in front of me can order 1 or 2 boxes of muffins at one go. 1 box can pack up to 5- 8 muffins. The waiting time is very long.

Well, the inside texture of his mufins is very different from typical muffins like Coffee Bean muffins. When I first ate it, I was very surprised to see "open pores" on it. The texture resembles Chinese steamed cake though. It is very spongy. It is not too filling that can make you not so bloated.

His stall is at Toa Payoh Lor 1 market. Dun ask me for the address cos I dun know. Hahaha. But it is within a walking distance from Philips factory ( it is a hint.)
