AJ Delights at Anchorvale Village is a delightful discovery for muffin lovers in Singapore! My favourite muffin shop from Alexandra Village Food Centre has expanded with this convenient takeaway stall, located on the left-hand side of the main entrance of NTUC FairPrice Anchorvale Village.

I’m absolutely chuffed that they’ve set up shop near me, especially since their main outlet at Alexandra is closed for renovation until 30 June 2025. This means I can indulge in their scrumptious muffins whenever the craving strikes!

What Makes AJ Delights Special?

The magic of AJ Delights lies in their spectacular streusel muffins. For those unfamiliar, streusel is a crumbly topping typically made with flour, butter, and sugar that adds a delightful texture to baked goods. It’s this signature topping that sets their muffins apart from regular offerings elsewhere.

Their muffins are notably larger than standard ones, which explains the slightly higher price point of $2.75 – $4.90 each. But trust me, the size and quality completely justify the cost. The current promotion of “buy 6 get 1 free” (where the lowest-priced muffin is free) makes it even more worthwhile.

Must-Try Flavours

Chocolate Streusel

This is my absolute go-to choice at AJ Delights. The streusel topping offers a delightful crunch – it’s like having a cookie perched atop your muffin! There’s a subtle hint of cinnamon in the streusel that elevates what could otherwise be “just another chocolate muffin” into something special. The muffin itself is wonderfully spongy and moist, with melty chocolate chips that enhance the rich chocolatey flavour. It’s perfectly balanced – not overly sweet at all.

Double Joy

We got this as our free muffin in the promotion, and it’s essentially a marble cake in muffin form. If you enjoy the classic appeal of marble cake, you’ll certainly fancy this delightful version that gives you the best of both chocolate and vanilla worlds in one treat.

Ondeh-Ondeh

This local-inspired flavour features a fragrant pandan cake base with coconut filling that adds a slight crunch. It’s a lovely reinterpretation of the traditional Malay kueh in muffin form.

Mixed Berries Streusel

Studded with raspberries and blueberries, this muffin offers a refreshing tartness that balances beautifully with the sweet streusel topping. The fresh berries make this feel like a slightly healthier indulgence too!

Apple Streusel

This reminds me of eating a proper apple crumble thanks to the generous streusel topping. The chunks of apple provide a lovely fruity contrast to the buttery cake base.

Green Tea Monster

Matcha lovers, rejoice! This one features a strong and fragrant green tea flavour complemented by chocolate chips inside. The streusel topping adds that signature crumbly crunch that AJ Delights is known for.

Storage Tips

One brilliant aspect of these muffins is their staying power. We kept the remaining muffins in the fridge overnight, and they remained deliciously moist, not dry at all. You can enjoy them cold straight from the fridge or heat them slightly in the microwave if you prefer them warm – they’re scrumptious either way!

Consistency Across Outlets

What impresses me most about AJ Delights at Anchorvale Village is the consistency. Despite this being a satellite outlet rather than their main shop, the standard of the muffins remains impeccable. Each one delivers that homely, buttery, soft and moist texture that AJ Delights is known for. The muffins aren’t overly sweet, making them perfect for a morning tea or afternoon treat.

The streusel topping continues to be the star, adding another layer of fragrance and texture to these comforting treats. They’re satisfying without being overwhelming – well worth the calories!

Where to Find AJ Delights

Besides this new outlet at NTUC FairPrice Anchorvale Village, AJ Delights also has shops at:

• Fusionopolis Connexis Tower
• Century Square

Their main outlet at Alexandra Food Centre is currently under renovation until 30 June 2025, so these alternative locations are perfect for getting your AJ Delights muffin fix.

AJ Delights at Anchorvale Village brings their signature streusel muffins closer to more Singaporeans, and I couldn’t be happier about it!
