Daily Bread
Here in Singapore, and perhaps in some asean countries like the Philippines, the bread to beat is Gardenia. I myself only buys Gardenia whenever I can. It's like trusting only the brand you know, for example, gasul, colgate, sony, etc.
But when I do buy bread, I really don't care on what the freshess bread there might be. I just pick from the shelf and that's it. Some people might smell, some may squeeze. But here's a scoop that might help you determine the youngest bread.
The bread is delivered to grocery stores five days a week. Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Each day has a different color lock tie. These are:
Monday - Blue
Tuesday - Green
Thursday - Red
Friday - White
Saturday - Yellow
This color scheme is very easy to remember. The colors go alphabetically: Blue - Green - Red - White-Yellow.
OK, enough of talk, let me get some spread...
