Hong Yit Bakery Confectionery

Found this old school confectionery at Clementi, just a short walk away from train station.

You would find all the freshly baked pastries and cakes on display here. As I was searching for something I want to grab, I found this dark colour filling which turned up to be black sesame.

The flavour wasn’t too strong but pleasant hint as you eat. Fluffy texture as well.

Don’t expect fanciful toppings, seasonal flavours or rich & luscious, premium imported ingredients here - these old-school cakes come in traditional flavours that are simple and evoke a sense of nostalgia and memories for me.

Traditional cream cake @ $2 each.

A confectionery shop that sells traditional and old school bakes. There's a wide variety of cream cakes, bread, swiss rolls and pastry to choose from.

It's not super crowded but there's a constant flow of people coming in and out, and while the staff are kept busy most of the time, they're also very friendly when attending to you.

Got this peanut cake and the rainbow chocolate rice. Both are great in terms of texture - they were kept in the fridge but the sponge cake is still soft and has got a nice bite. The cream is also subtle in taste, not overpowering. The rainbow chocolate rice one is a bit sweeter compared to the peanut one.

Also bought their homemade dausapiah (they have those that's factory manufactured ones, and home made ones). There's the big and flat ones, as well as small and round ones. The owner told us they're the same, just that the small ones have got a slightly thicker crust. We bought both to try and prefer the small one, the taste is super en pointe and the bite into the crust is just nice.

It's slightly more expensive than other confectionery shops that we have been to (most are selling the cream cakes at around $1.50), but since we dont come here often, I guess it's okay to pay a bit more for such a yummy treat.

Banana cake from this old school bakery in Clementi ($3). Have been eating this since I was in secondary school (yes, that's super long time ago). Still as good as I remembered. Their pandan cake is also something you should try. #latergram
