Swee Heng 1989 Classic - Pandan Cakes Galore

Despite hiding at a corner of the basement of Northpoint South Wing, Swee Heng 1989 Classic surprisingly has a queue formed in front of its cashier. So that catches my attention, and I decide to check out what this bakery has to offer. And then I realize the reason to its popularity: unique breads and cakes, with many of pandan flavour. Some of the breads are not the kind one can find in other bakeries.

I set my eyes on Less Sugar Pandan Roll with Gula Melaka since I have a thing for pandan and gula melaka. The texture of this cake is perfect. The cake sponge is soft, fluffy and pretty moist. Gula melaka adds a rich taste of caramel to this confectionery, making it a better pandan cake than most of its commercial counterparts. Though I must say I like this cake, not loving it due to lack of strong aroma of pandan. Perhaps I am spoilt by the unbelievably awesome pandan cake made by my sister, the pandan roll sold at a makeshift stall in Kovan and Lynda Ann’s Pandan Perfection. And there are lots of E*** stated in the ingredient list of Swee Heng’s pandan roll. I do think that most commercial bakeries put these stuff into their products, so I appreciate that Swee Heng is professional to show the ingredients used. Just that I am keeping my love for artisanal cakes.

My Thoughts: Nice Surprises!
