As someone with a sweet tooth, I’m constantly on the hunt for cheap and good bakes. One on my to-try list is Uggli Muffins, a popular hawker stall that recently opened a second outlet at Jalan Besar. It’s not hard to see why they’re so well-loved; their signature ‘ugly’ muffins that come with a crusty, caramelised top are priced below $2 each.

For those who are unaware, Uggli Muffins was previously a zi char stall in Toa Payoh West Market & Food Centre, with its roots extending as far back as 1969. After the second-generation owner took over, the stall made the switch to muffins and cookies. They’ve since made a name for themselves over the past 17 years or so, churning out fresh bakes at wallet-friendly prices.
Located a five-minute walk from Jalan Besar MRT Station, the new store seems to be an upgrade from their previous location. There’s a bigger baking space, plus a few dine-in seats within. While we’re unsure about whether there’s a drinks menu, we do know that prices for their signature Uggli Baby Muffins are kept low at $1.40 to $1.70 per pop. There’s also a buy 10 get 2 free offer that you can take advantage of, if you’re sharing with friends.
What sets these muffins apart is their dark brown, crusty top, finished in the oven with a secret recipe. Irregularly shaped, these moreish treats are said to boast an intense flavour and a rich, caramelised sweetness. The flavours vary daily, with mainstays such as Oreo Cookies, Banana and Walnut, and Blueberry.
