Tiong Bahru Galicier Pastry turns out a hundred types of local cakes, including the steamed putu ayu treat.
The Tiong Bahru Galicier Pastry shop, with a cheery yellow signboard, is a place that lifts one’s mood. The aroma of baked goods, and the row upon row of delectable cakes, pastries, cookies and kueh at the counter, will bring a smile to your face.
The enticing treats at this neighbourhood confectionery range from old-school ladyfinger sponge cakes and coconut tarts to kueh ambon and ondeh ondeh. How many types of goodies does it have in its repertoire? Chef-owners Tan Yong Siang and wife Jenny Soh take a while to give us a number. Their guesstimate is about 100 types in total, but as everything is handmade, only a selection is available at any one time.
