What started out as an homage to his father’s old-school confectionery is now a modern bakehouse filled with goods inspired by our local heritage. The cookies, in particular, come in familiar flavours of gula Melaka ($19.80) and kueh kosui ($19.80). Other unique creations also include the cereal prawn cookies ($19.80) with flecks of dried shrimp and the goreng pisang ($19.80) with banana chips and bread crumb coating to recreate the popular fried street snack.

You can smell the baked goods before you even catch a glimpse of the stall – a mark of a good cookie place. The classic chocolate chip cookie is light and crisp but far from dry and being too crumbly. Even with less sugar used – in a bid to make healthier cookies – these are some of the better-tasting cookies out there.

This charming retail outlet serves up some of the most delicious, and unique cookies. It might come with a slightly pricey tag ($32-$38) but where else can you find tom yam and nasi lemak cookies?
