It had been a while since we last swung by Dempsey, so the husband and I decided to make a morning of it. Burnt Ends Bakery had been on our radar for a bit, and brunch at Dempsey Hill felt like the perfect excuse. If you’re hunting for a quiet, low-key bakery spot away from the usual […]

This was honestly a bit of an accidental visit. Hubby kept asking what cake I wanted for my birthday, and after doing some research I decided I wanted macarons from a local macaron specialty shop — I’ll share more about that in a separate post. But even after I told him, hubby still wanted to […]

Hubby and I had just finished lunch at Bored Tacos and were on our way to Lexus Durian to grab some durians when I spotted Thiam Yian Confectionery. An old school bakery? I’m always going in — no question about it. I’ve always had a soft spot for bakeries like this. They bring back childhood memories. […]

Last time I passed by Pretty Good Muffins at Hong Lim Complex during peak lunch hours, the queue was ridiculously long. Made a mental note to return, and finally got my chance during a mini staycation at Mercure ICON Singapore City Centre. Showed up Saturday morning around 10.40am, even though they’re meant to open at […]

Millie’s Cookies has been that one treat we kept walking past, always telling ourselves we’d grab it next time. Well, next time finally came during our latest UK trip, and spoiler alert: we should’ve stopped sooner. Since 1985, this beloved UK brand has been baking up sweet memories across the nation. My husband grew up […]

Yugoslavia Bakery & Cafe popped up on my Yindii app whilst browsing during a staycation at Pullman Singapore Hill Street. I’d never tried their bakes before, so when I saw a surprise bakery bag available at their CityLink outlet, I decided to give it a go. If you’re interested to sign up for Yindii and […]

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 […]

I asked hubby what cake he fancied for his birthday and he immediately said he wanted the Chocolate Banana Cake from Awfully Chocolate. 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 […]

June Bakery has been on my must-visit list forever, but their weekday-only hours and sell-out tendencies made it nearly impossible to try. Finally managed to snag some of their legendary tarts during a staycation at PARKROYAL on Beach Road – and now I understand the hype. Finding June Bakery Staying at PARKROYAL on Beach Road? You’ve […]

Dona Bakehouse has been sitting right next to the famous Hiap Joo Bakery, and honestly, we’ve walked past it countless times without giving it a second thought. This time was different though. Finding Dona Bakehouse: Location and First Impressions After our brunch at Chai Ji Fish Soup and cake shopping at Hiap Joo, we found ourselves […]

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. Ever since Bao’s Pastry made waves in Singapore, local bakeries have been jumping on the trend, churning out their own versions of hits like floss cakes and butter mochi. 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 […]
