There’s their best-selling Ondeh Ondeh Roll, which goes for just $1.40 a pop. This cake features a strikingly green pandan-spiked sponge with gula melaka-soaked coconut shavings and buttercream in the middle, topped with fresh coconut flakes on top.

Alternatively, go for the Gula Melaka Roll or the Pandan Kaya Cake, affordably priced at $1.40 and $1 respectively.

Happy Oven Hougang opens from 5am daily, so you can get your dose of sweet treats for brekkie if you’re an early riser. Online reviews state that they’ve been selling out before their stipulated closing time of 3pm, so be sure to head down earlier to snag some bakes! Alternatively, beat the queue and order online.

Another old-school bakery and cafe worth checking out is Chin Mee Chin Confectionery in Joo Chiat. Or if you love orh nee, visit Singapore’s first-ever taro cafe Whisking Bakes in Lavender!
