Old School Confectionaries To Satisfy Your Sweet Tooth In Singapore
These days,
Singapore is
hipster heaven with cute cafés and artisanal desserts for sale on every corner across the island, from
Bugis to Tiong Bahru. But long before café culture became ubiquitous in the Lion City, there were bakeries that specialized in traditional Chinese sweets like
kueh and
ondeh ondeh as well as more Eurasian style baked goods like sugee cake.
Lek Lim Nonya Cake Confectionery
Bakery, Chinese
Lek Lim Nonya Cake Confectionery started at the owner’s home where they made
ku kuehs, also known as red tortoise cakes, using a family recipe and delivered them to nearby friends and customers. In 1979, they moved into their present-day home on Bedok North Street. Over the years, they added more and more items to their menu including their popular
ang kueh (Chinese rice cake) and Chinese new year cookies. To this day, all of their products are handmade following their original family recipes.
Love Confectionery
Bakery, Dessert
The nostalgia of Love Confectionery comes as much from its old school baking style as its vintage decorations. The shop sells deceptively simple cream cakes in different flavours like chocolate rice and rainbow sprinkles, but their fluffy texture makes these moist cakes irresistible to all of their loyal customers. Love Confectionery is located near the Alexandra Food Village, so stop in after a visit to the hawkers center.
