Lynda Ann is a bakery at 122 Bedok North Street 2, #01-98, in Bedok, Singapore, holding a 4.9 rating on Google, with its Facebook page as its online home. Bakeries of this kind — small heartland shops rather than chains — live by freshness. Buns and pastries are typically baked in small batches through the morning, so the best pickings go to early visitors, and by late afternoon the shelves can be noticeably thin. Anyone after a celebration cake rather than a grab-and-go treat should order ahead: custom cakes generally need a few days' notice, and lead times stretch around festive weekends. Regulars learn the rhythm of the ovens and time their visits to it, and asking at the counter usually gets an honest steer on the day's best bake. Tucked among the ground-floor shops at 122 Bedok North Street 2, Lynda Ann is a handy stop for anyone in Bedok after something baked that day.
