45. Hone Bakes
Hone Bakes, an IG bakery, is an up-and-coming brand that’s already gained a steady following despite being relatively new to the scene—they’ve only just launched this year! At their previous Baker X pop-up, we tried their Salted Matcha Dark Chocolate Cookie ($5), where a matcha cookie is topped with dark chocolate and more matcha goodness in the form of a ganache. Their Stuffed Pandan Gula Melaka Chiffon Cake ($6.50) and Matcha Black Sesame Gateau Cake ($12) were equally delicious! Visit their Instagram page for the latest updates on where to find them next.

If you love Korean bakeries as much as we do, put Tous Les Jours on your radar. The Korean chain, which has over 1000 stores globally, has two outlets in SG: Northpoint City and Bukit Pasoh Road.
We recommend their K-Hotteok Bread ($2.50), stuffed with a mix of brown sugar, honey, and nuts and seeds. Otherwise, for something richer, go for the Royal Chocolate Bun ($1.80), a chocolatey bun packed with a bittersweet cocoa middle, or the Premium Pastry Egg Tart ($3.30): flaky pastry encasing a rich custard centre.
