So, what makes their banana cakes so special?

The secrets are…… *shhhhh…don’t tell a soul*

Classic Wood Fired Wall Oven (the firewoods are actually burnt for 3.5 hours first!)
Top Notch Quality Bananas
Less Added Sugar (sweetness comes from the bananas)
Soft, Moist and Spongy

Mr. Lim who is the owner of this bakery is very passionate in making sure every batch of cakes meets his high quality standards.

By using this traditional charcoal baking method, it actually enhances the flavour as the heat is evenly distributed and it is well controlled by the owner.

Other than their famous banana cakes, they make delicious buns such as coconut buns, kaya buns, peanut buns and many more.

Tips:

No reservations: First come first serve basis
Take it to go (they do not have tables or chairs)
Best time to go is before 12:00pm (their banana cakes sells out fast!)
Do not be overwhelmed by the long queue (cakes are sold systematically, so you are able to get them within 15-20mins)
