Hey Leosquad! If youโve ever walked by Champion Bolo Bun in Chinatown Singapore ๐ and wondered why a line seems to form around one small bakery, chances are people are waiting for the Bolo Bun. This is not a fancy dessert or a trend-driven pastry โ itโs a classic bolo bun filled with butter, done so well that it keeps locals and visitors coming back.
๐ฅ Is this Bolo Bun worth the hype?
โญ Why the Champion Bolo Bun in Chinatown Singapore Stands Out

What makes the Champion Bolo Bun in Chinatown Singapore special isnโt complexity, but balance. The crust on top is sweet and slightly crisp, softening just enough once it meets the warmth of the bun. Inside, the butter is silky, rich, and melts slowly ๐ง, creating that satisfying contrast between warm bread and cool creaminess.
One bite explains why people line up. The sweetness isnโt overpowering, the texture isnโt dry, and the butter doesnโt feel heavy โ it simply melts between the buns, tying everything together effortlessly.
For those curious about upgrades, Champion Bolo bun also offers a French butter option for a small extra charge (around 50 cents more). While the classic butter (5.55 SGD) already delivers, the French butter brings an even richer mouthfeel for those who enjoy a more indulgent bite
