Famed banana cakes from JB sold via vending machine in Bukit Panjang
The Straits Times
|May 19, 2025
There is no need to cross the Causeway anymore for the famously moist banana cakes from Hiap Joo Bakery & Biscuit Factory in Johor Bahru.
Just head to Senja Hawker Centre in Bukit Panjang for your cake fix, with a touch of a button from a vending machine.
Each box – priced at $8.60 – contains 10 pieces of banana cake. The chilled vending machine can hold 48 boxes at one time, and will be restocked twice a day at 11.30am and 4.30pm. For comparison, in JB, each box is priced at RM13, or about S$3.90.
Currently, the focus is on selling the iconic banana cake, says Ms Serene Ong, 41, the founder of Singaporean company Hypha Vending Retail, which supplies and operates the vending machines.
