Unfortunately, all good things must come to an end. There has been word that Tiong Bahru Galicier Pastry- the famous, old-school bakery, will be closing sometime in June or July. They have been serving delicious, classic local kuehs and desserts since the 1970s and it will be difficult to see them go this abruptly. Hurry down now before they close to have a taste of local sweets one last time!
Legendary Bakery Soon To Close
Since the 70s, this family-run business has been creating traditional Singaporean desserts and baked goods, six days a week. They were a local hot spot, with lines of people queueing up from the morning to the evening. It has been mentioned that there has been a sale made of their unit which is likely the main cause. One family member at Tiong Bahru Galicier Pastry has mentioned that they will potentially be retiring as well.
Some of you might already be familiar with their kuehs! They are famous for their traditional Ondeh-Ondeh, Putu Ayu, Kueh Lapis and Ang Ku Kueh – just to name a few. All of these noteworthy delights cost less than $5! They also make every single kueh and dessert fresh daily! This was another reason for their fame, they served delicious treats and a low price- giving everyone a chance to treat themselves!
