Poh Guan Cake House at Hong Lim Complex caught me completely off guard. I originally went there hunting for ruan gao – those soft, mochi-like glutinous rice rolls my mum used to buy for prayers when I was a kid. But once I got there, the sight of freshly made Chinese Teochew traditional pastries sitting […]
I’d blogged about Dona Manis Cake Shop some time back when I used Pickupp service to deliver a box of banana pies to my doorstep. The shop location was too out of the way from where I live. That was my first time trying their banana pies, and I really fell in love with them – they […]
Auntie Peng Banana Pie was exactly why we headed to Katong Shopping Centre. The hubby and I had just finished at East Coast Park and decided to drive over for some chicken rice and those banana pies I’d been meaning to try. Most folks know Dona Manis Cake Shop as the go-to spot for banana […]

Fair enough – seemed like a wise choice as we hadn’t had that for a long, long time and really kinda missed it. But here’s where it gets interesting. While I was […]
Cinnabon wasn’t exactly penciled in on my to-do list that day. My plan was simple: pop into Citylink Mall to get my ski pants altered, then head straight home. But errands have a way of leading you into little detours, and in this case, it was the irresistible scent of cinnamon drifting out from Raffles […]

Not exactly sharing a long, detailed food review post about Hiap Joo Bakery & Biscuit Factory this time. I’ve already raved about their banana cake and coffee cake previously. But I thought I’d share their 2025 price list so you know what to expect before heading down to JB. There’s been a price increase since I last blogged […]
After trying similar viral bakes elsewhere, I was curious about BreadTalk’s Butter Mochi and Mini Momoji.

I’ve been completely hooked on Swee Heng’s Butter Mochi – honestly can’t get enough of […]
Mamana Kitchen caught my attention when hubby and I were moaning about living in this ulu part of Punggol West. You know how it is – surrounded by construction sites for new BTO flats, with barely anything except a small Sheng Siong and a kopitiam. Then boom, this cosy little cafe pops up serving all-day […]
During my recent staycation at St. Regis Singapore, I found myself with a craving for pastries.

The Butter Baked Rice Cake from Swee Heng 1989 Classic had me visiting several Swee Heng bakeries before I finally spotted it at Woodleigh Mall. This little treasure isn’t available everywhere, and they never mention which outlets actually stock it. Finding the Elusive Butter Baked Rice Cake After going to several Swee Heng bakeries with no luck, […]
