The scene below, racks with assorted flavour breads is pretty common for Malaysian. But probably this scene is slightly different in East Malaysia.
A netizen from East Malaysia took social media to share a photo, the post caught a lot of eyeballs as most of us only realised the price for gardenia bread is 3 times higher than in west Malaysia! A loaf of Gardenia bread can cost up RM13 ++!
The post read:
You got yours?
Is the bread flew in with air plane taste better? Hahahaha! This price is killing but yet a lot of people buying. To be honest, i really don’t know how to buy with this kind of price.
Those days my family always asked me to bring back a full luggage bag of Gardenia / Massimo bread. Those from West Malaysia probably don’t understand us.
Anyone like me going home with a box of bread? comment in the post and share with me.
As seen in the photo, all the breads are 3 times more expensive, especially the Chocolate raisin bread loaf which cost RM13.20!
▼ Netizen A : Gosh! So expensive the big white loaf is selling at RM2.50 here.
Netizen B: I thought that’s the price for 1 box. Thus, i was wondering what do mean when you asking did we bought the bread.
Netizen C: I will post it to you next time. Heart-ache if i need to buy a bread for RM13.20!
▼ Some netizen from West Malaysian was in shock : Gardenia bread is only available in peninsular but not east Malaysia?!
▼ Netizen A: ?! I’m from west Malaysia, I always thought gardenia is available nationwide, now only i know it’s not available in east Malaysia.
Post Author: Haha.. Now only you know.
Netizen A: Weird thing that i come across. What’s the reason between?
Post Author : No idea! But i’m sure one will make a lot of money if selling the bread here.
▼ Netizen A: Living here for so long, now only i know no gardenia in East Malaysia.
Post Author: We don’t have Massimo too.
Netizen B: We didn’t know until we read your post. My boyfriend thought i’m kidding him.
Netizen C: The price shocked me! I thought Gardenia is selling at the same price nationwide. Do you have similar brand there?
Post Author: We have other brand here. But just don’t know why people still buying Gardenia/Massimo .. Maybe hardly get it here.
▼ One netizen from east Malaysia said she bought it from Shopee.

▼ Netizen A: In the case, you saw people bought/ brought a lot breads in the airport then he/she must be from East Malaysia.
Post Author: When i bought a box of bread, the shop owner was asking me whether i wanted to sell the breads. Then i told him, my hometown do not have Gardenia. He was in shocked too.
▼ Some netizen from east Malaysia share the same experience.” Buying Gardenia like buying a special local products.”, ” Same here, i always brought an empty luggage to bring back the Gardenia butterscotch bread.”, ” I hand carry the muffin and it bursted in the plane. So awful!”
▼ One said ” I brought 5-6 loafs of bread. 50-60 assorted flavour breads. We have 4 adults, 2 children and all breads gone in 5 days”
▼ Some suggested the flavour to try out: Butterscotch & Raspberi susu & Kranberi.
▼ Some wondering what bread they have if no Gardenia & Massimo and the post author replied,” i normally bought those bread loaf from the bakery shop here. But we do have some local brand like gardenia. It’s just i can’t really recalled the brand .”
▼ ” Suddenly, i feel so good be a be a West Malaysian.”
