Keong Saik Bakery

visited on a late sunday afternoon, pretty empty first issue was the ordering system. somehow both of our phones couldn’t load the menu, and even if it did, we waited minutes for the payment page to load, and it never did. end up we had to personally go down to the counter to make payment. moving on, the food was mid at best. 1. burnt cheesecake ($8.40) it was fine as small sized cake, although pricey. it works as a cheesecake, although the selling point was just the smoothness of the cake. the cheese and the burnt taste lacked significantly. we had better. 2. cactus ($9.80) this was the only saving grace. matcha taste was good, the nama matcha chocolate taste was strong and bitter in a good way, although matcha sponge was too thin and insignificant to make an impact. however, the tart base merely existed as a base. it was hard and lacked any flavour. 3. dirty matcha latte ($7+$1, iced) don’t get this if you want any hint of matcha flavour. it’s really just a latte. the default is a double shot, which totally overpowers any matcha taste. super disappointing. also way too much ice… ambience is fine, location is alright (8 mins from boonkeng), water is free flow paid svc for the server to bring to the food to my table, i don’t see the point of svc if the ordering system is online and yet has such flaws total for these 3 items came up to $29.

Got the takeout bundle and it was worth every cent. The otah muffin and otah tart were pleasant surprises. All items were fresh and tasty. The pastries were light, fluffy, and not at all greasy. Will definitely be looking out for this deal again!

Pleasant dining experience with reasonably priced food and good service! The rendang chicken and the lamb shank was tender and not too spicy. The chicken sandwich was tasty with lots of vege! The Nyonya curry chicken was a bit lacking though. The lychee osmanthus cake was not too sweet, light, moist and refreshing! Comfortable dining environment too! We loved every bit of it!

Visited twice for takeaway, my takeaway (!) is that counter service could be better as they seem to be understaffed and undertrained. Was kept waiting at the counter both times without any acknowledgment from the staff who were a few steps away though there were only max 4 occupied tables, one being the barista who does not take orders nor deal with payment and the other fulfilling an order for a table. When I was finally served, the counter staff was not able to answer my question on the availability of the bread availability and had to be prompted to pls check with other staff if he didn’t know the answer, as his initial response stopped at “I’m not sure”. Ordered their sorhei warmed up to go, it unfortunately didn’t taste as good as I remember though the price has increased significantly since COVID when I first tried it.

Minimalist industrial decor, with good seating arrangements. Popped by & ordered the mutton & beef dishes. Both meat were actually tender, which was a plus point. The flavours on the hand were perhaps too sweet for our likings. Was looking forward to the lamb shank, but the sweetness overpowered the protein.

Their new SG60 Menu is nice! We tried the Lamb Shank and Chilli Crab Pasta and these are tasty and full of flavour. The soya chicken is nice and well cooked, goes well with rice. The curry is a tad oily but overall a nice dinner here.

Popped in for coffee and shared a seasonal Xmas special cake. Coffee is the way I like with depth of flavour ( we had long black style). Nice quiet ambience to the cafe.

Nice place to chill while waiting for kids to finish class nearby. Latte and pain de chocolate! An airy cool outdoor seating area provides a play area for kids.
