Follow your nose to the basement of Katong Shopping Centre where you will find this humble but wildly popular bakery. Come for their buttery Banana Pie ($2.50 per slice, $25 for a whole pie) that sees sweet banana mixed with fragrant coconut and roasted almond for crunch— good for housewarmings or pot-lucks! Don't forget to grab some Chocolate Rum Balls ($5 for 5 balls) to go (best eaten chilled!).

Here's the perfect celebration pie for grandma, or anybody with an old soul. The Banana Pie ($25 a pie, $2.50 a slice) from this old-school bakery in Katong Shopping Centre is a signature you should not miss. Expect a buttery, crumbly crust encasing a moist filling that is generous on sliced fresh bananas (they use both 'ang ba cheo' and 'pang cheo' bananas). A layer of dessicated coconut and a sprinkling of crushed nuts add a nice crunch to it all. This comforting pie is just sweet enough and not at all cloying — it is no wonder this is a favourite among long-time regulars! They often sell out by mid-afternoon, sometimes earlier, so plan wisely! Pro tip: Pick up a box of their rich Chocolate Tarts (five for $4.50, another best seller) while you're there.
*Place your order one day in advance, but take note that the shop is closed on Sundays
