This was a nice little experience for possibly trying my first ever mooncake. I think I’d gone for the Lotus Paste or whatever the«veggie» one was(not that I know anything about pastries, haha). I didn’t expect any«HOLYWHAT» flavors but it was nice, pleasantly dense and smooth going down. It’s a neat shop and the staff is friendly for being mildly busy. Located along a storefront hidden behind the propped up shops.

Friendly service and all baked goodies are clearly titled with prices. This bakery seems to be somewhat of an institution, as they have several local newspaper articles about them framed in the wall. I did pick up some mini lotus seed moon cakes. They were moist, flaky and just sweet enough. I like that they don’t use preservatives. Right next to the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple, they also have an assortment of cookies and baked buns.

This is a small, traditional pastry shop in the heart of Chinatown. It has a long history and is especially popular for mooncakes during the mid-autumn festival. There is a main factory and there are other similar shops from this company in Singapore. The staff were friendly when I visited, despite the madness of the season which had them working frantically to catch up with customer demand. The mooncakes I got from them were some of the best I’ve ever had. You can tell that they are using good quality ingredients and a quality production process. The crust was nice and crispy, with a great baked in flavor. The plain lotus paste center was dense and mildly sweet. Despite the density, the insides seemed to melt away in my mouth. I would definitely recommend this place for mooncakes and plan to visit again in the future.
