Actress Rebecca Lim’s Family Bakery Has Kaya Croissant, Gula Melaka Puff And More

The Lim’s Kitchen is a popular bakery by Rebecca Lim’s family

If you fall into either category—you’re a fan of local actress Rebecca Lim, or you simply love pastries—chances are you’d have heard of The Lim’s Kitchen. This IG-famous bakery was started in 2021 by the famous actress’ brother, who’s the main baker. Within a short span of two years, the family-run bakery was so popular they upgraded their home setup to a commercial kitchen.

In celebration of National Day, the homegrown bakery has rolled out a limited-time Little Red Dot Box ($36) celebrating iconic local flavours. Available from now till 31 August 2023, each set comes with five pastries: Pandan Kaya Almond Croissant, Gula Melaka Puff, Satay Danish, Chicken Curry Puff Danish, and Butter Crab.

The kaya croissant steals the spotlight; this twice-baked, pandan-infused croissant is filled with a rich kaya butter middle that takes a nod to the classic Singaporean brekkie. It’s finished with almond cream and toasted coconut flakes.

If you want something else, order The New Classics ($35) pastry box. Here, you get five items, including a Cheesy Sausage Wellington, a Truffle Mushroom Croissant, and an indulgent Pistachio Chocolate Pain Suisse: laminated pastry piped with a rich pistachio custard filling.

If you’re hosting a party, save yourself the trouble of prepping dessert—just order their Apple Frangipane Tart ($39) instead. The eight-inch tart comprises slow-cooked green apples on an almond tart shell, finished with a buttery crumble on top.

You can also find four of the bakery’s signature pastries at Mr Bucket Chocolaterie in Dempsey, available for both dine-in and takeaway.

If you’re ordering online, there’s a fixed delivery fee of $10. A brick-and-mortar store is also in the works for The Lim’s Kitchen, so do keep your eyes peeled on their Instagram page for the latest updates.

Another home-based business to check out is The Songpyeon House, which sells traditional Korean rice cakes in pretty designs. Otherwise, check out the new Baristart Coffee Teh Tarik Puffs, available from now till end-August.
