Dennis Von Berlepsch and Jane Lee Richard started Park Backerei in Tanjong Pagar. It's Singapore’s first dedicated pretzel bakery offering not only traditional Swabian pretzels but also a range of pretzel-dough bakes, out of pretzel-craving “desperation” here in Asia.
It’s often the case that the idea of a pretzel is more interesting than the pretzel itself – but not after you’ve tried a freshly baked, warm-out-of-the-oven, honest-to-goodness German pretzel.stuff or crunchy, salted airplane snacks, but authentic Brezeln that originated in the southern German region.
Currently, the moment a tray is out of the oven, the pretzels are snapped up faster than you can say “ich verstehe nur Bahnhof”, so the probability of getting a warm one is actually quite high.Oxtail doughnuts, fried mala quail: The chef behind Between Buns opens new Wildcard restaurant “It's not only the colours or the sheen that make it beautiful; it's also a very unique taste that for me, makes or breaks a pretzel. That, from our perspective, can only be achieved with lye, the German version of an alkaline solution that is chemically slightly different from the baking soda that is used in bakeries around the world, and in Singapore as well.”Von Berlepsch, 44 and Richard, 41 have perfected their recipe over the course of over three years.
They could have simplified them – smoked bratwurst with apple-caraway sauerkraut and fried onions; roast beef with gherkin and sweet mustard; brie with caramelised onion, apple and salted caramel pecans are just some of the sandwiches offered – but the sandwiches wouldn’t have tasted the way he likes them, he said.
Fun fact: They met on a plane from Singapore to Munich, where she was a flight attendant and he was a passenger in an empty flight. They’ve lived in Singapore for many years, but in 2019, they moved to Hong Kong for three years due to Von Berlepsch’s job in the pharmaceutical industry. When the pandemic began, Richard started baking in their home on Park Island.“As you know, in Hong Kong, the lockdown was quite severe. Some of the shops were not open.
