Keong Saik Bakery has fast become a household name in Singapore for its ever-rotating spread of modern pastries, including their cult favourite cruffins and Basque burnt cheesecake. Just in time for yam season, they’ve now released two new menu items that celebrate the ingredient: an Orh Nee Croissant Cube ($6) and Orh Nee Cake ($7).
Keong Saik Bakery transforms the classic French croissant into a striking cube of buttery, flaky layers that surround a centre of homemade yam paste, shallots and steamed yam cubes.Â
If you ask us, it’s like Shibuya thick toast, but better. This textural gem sells out daily, so it’s best to go early if you’d like to try it.
But if the Orh Nee Croissant Cube is too much decadence for you, Keong Saik Bakery has also got the much lighter-sounding Orh Nee Cake.
Where it lays off the buttery pastry, the Orh Nee cake makes up for the indulgence with a toasted coconut chiffon, lending tropical, nutty notes to the cake.
Again, this cake will feature their house-made yam paste and steamed yam cubes, but it is finished with a coconut vanilla bean whipped ganache.
ICYMI, Keong Saik Bakery also has a new take on their ever-popular Basque burnt cheesecake. The Orh Chu Bee ($8.50) is another marriage of a local flavour with the Spanish cheesecake, this time with pulut hitam.Â
This burnt cheesecake batter is made with coconut juice and flesh from freshly-cracked coconuts. It is then layered over a base of pulut hitam, studded with chewy black glutinous rice.
The Orh Nee Croissant Cube and Orh Nee Cake are available in limited quantities daily for walk-in only, but the Orh Chu Bee is available both for walk-in and pre-orders online in slices and whole cakes.
Since you’re in the area, you could go on a dessert hop to Dolc Patisserie for more IG-worthy tarts, or have an indulgent but wallet-friendly lunch at Fatbowls, where a wagyu rice bowl goes for under $15!
