Get ready, bread lovers—because there’s cause for a major carb celebration. Wu Pao Chun Singapore is turning six, and to mark the milestone, the acclaimed Taiwanese bakery is rolling out a mouth-watering line-up of limited-time bakes and irresistible bundle deals from 21 May to 30 June 2025. Whether you’re a fan of sweet, savoury, or somewhere in between, there’s never been a better time to revisit this award-winning boulangerie that’s elevated bread into a form of edible art.
A Bakery Born from Passion and Perseverance
If the name Wu Pao Chun rings a bell, you’re likely familiar with the bakery’s legendary founder. Hailing from humble beginnings, Master Baker Wu Pao Chun rose to international acclaim when he clinched the top title at the 2010 Masters de la Boulangerie. He was later honoured as the World’s Best Baker in 2016—no small feat in a world brimming with flaky croissants and sourdough snobs.
His philosophy? “Exploring Bread, a way of seeing the world” (我喜欢, 以面包阅读世界). It’s a sentiment that’s not just poetic, but palpable in every bite. Since opening its first Singapore outpost at The Capitol in 2019, Wu Pao Chun Bakery has served up masterfully baked loaves that blend Taiwanese tradition with European flair.
New Creations to Celebrate the Occasion
For its sixth anniversary, the bakery is treating fans to two stunning new additions that are as photogenic as they are delicious.
First up, the Mango Boule (法式芒果球, S$8.80)—a golden-hued, European-style bun packed with wine-soaked mango pieces and infused with mango purée. It’s tropical, tangy, and just the thing to perk up your afternoon tea.
If rich and creamy is more your style, don’t miss the Blackberry Cheese Crown (黑莓冠, S$5.60). This decadent chocolate bread is swirled with blackberry cream cheese and finished with juicy wild blackberries—a fruity, luxurious treat that’s hard to resist.
Award-Winning Icons
Of course, no visit to Wu Pao Chun would be complete without their two signature stars. The Lychee Rose Royale (荔枝玫瑰, S$24.80), which won the 2010 Masters de la Boulangerie, is a multilayered delight of wine-soaked lychees, roasted walnuts, and fragrant dried rose petals. With a 15-hour fermentation process, it’s as much a feat of patience as it is of flavour.

Equally legendary is the Red Wine Longan (酒酿桂圆, S$24.80), Taiwan’s first globally recognised bread. Debuting at the 2008 Louis Lesaffre Cup, this six-day smoked loaf features red wine-soaked longan and walnuts. No wonder it’s earned the nickname “time-travelling bread”.

Rounding out the celebratory collection are two well-loved classics. The Cheesy Mango (芒果乳酪, S$16.80) is a sweet-savory hybrid filled with honey, mango slices, cream cheese and walnuts. Meanwhile, Wholesome Sweetness (全麦蜜地瓜, S$5.60) is a comforting, wholemeal French loaf speckled with sweet potato and yam—hearty, nourishing, and just what your soul needs on a rainy day.

Wu Pao Chun’s journey from a modest farm boy to global baking royalty is not just heart-warming—it’s also baked into every product that emerges from his ovens.
