Dessert time at Keong Saik Bakery
Keong Saik Bakery sells pastries and cakes that fuses local flavours in them. I had previously tried the croissants and pastries which my friend had bought for me, hence I decided to try their cake when I stumbled upon their physical store. As it was a weekday, I had the chance to dine in. On weekends, due to limited seats, it is only open for takeaway. As the bakery is located in one of those heritage shophouses, the exterior of the cafe looks unique with the old school style entrance.
Had the dirty matcha latte and seashore cheesecake. The seashore cheesecake, as the name implies, has the colours of the beach; blue on the top and brown at the bottom. The blue ganache is made from sea salt and butterfly pea flower which gives the blue shade. The ganache tastes more on the milky side, and the salt taste is mild to none at all. The brown earl grey cheesecake and cookie base are my favourite parts of the cake, as the tea taste is strong yet not overpowering. While the latte is not as dirty as I thought, I can taste the strong matcha powder in it.

Gongxi Road is a street that is very suitable for slow shopping. There are more Chinese here, and the shops along the street are also very distinctive, but there are not so many people in Chinatown, a very good place.
Gongxi Road is a very emotional road. There are more than 100 years old buildings on both sides. It is very British, and there are various shops under the house. Among them, restaurants and cafes are mainly suitable for slow shopping.
Many restaurants and cafes have not opened yet to open early in the morning. Although coffee can't be drunk, food can't be eaten, but it is safe to come, strolling on Gongxi Road to enjoy the beautiful buildings around you is also good.
Keong Saik Road is a mecca for local eats, French food, Italian cuisine and the coolest bars in town. It’s hard to imagine that the area was once a prominent red-light district peppered with brothels back in the 60s.
Very suitable for slow down, slowly experience a street, the buildings here are more historical
One of Singapore's landmarks, a small shop with lots of souvenirs on the road
Gongxi Road can eat authentic Singapore cuisine here, there are many small shops, it is also worth visiting.
