Ophelia, Taman Tun Dr Ismail

Hainanese chicken ciabatta? Ophelia is TTDI’s new sourdough ciabatta specialist bakery-cafe, turning this rustic Italian bread into sandwiches with Asian and international inspirations.

Try the trendy Gepuk Ciabatta, comprising crackly-crusted bread with a firm chew, thick and tender with crunchy-fried chicken thigh, sambal mayo, crushed cashews and charred cabbage.

Other sandwiches span the Hainanese Chicken (sous-vide breast meat with pickled cucumber, chilli mayo and ponzu on pan-seared ciabatta) to the Crispy Peruvian Chicken (with coriander lime mayo).

Ciabatta on its own includes flavours like charred leek to curry, olive and rosemary to cranberry and cheese, mala spice to sea salt chocolate.

Ophelia will soon also introduce pairings like ciabatta with Sapporo-style soup curry.

Fragrant focaccia is available too, plus matcha shio pan matched with matcha coolers. Now open starting 6am, it’s convenient for morning carb cravings.

The Old Bakery is a tribute to the great-grandparents of its co-founder, executive pastry chef Hazel Chan, who baked and sold bread to their neighbours. It’s a genuine gem, honest and heartfelt.
