I remember Crown Bakery in early 50s. Unlike now, there were only two bakeries in Mylapore then, both near Bazar Raod. One Ceylon Bakery run by an elderly gentleman and another was Crown Bakery, run by a dark, kind gentleman. I like both of the, when I my father ask me to go to bakery it meant only these two. Universal came later.
After 0200 we got fresh bread. The rusk was super.
During festivals cakes were so popular. One thing I remember there was a huge Christ photo before Celon bakery
