Cookie Comeback

Celebrating Singapore: Cookies inspired by familiar sweet and savoury local flavours are lining the shelves of these bakeries.

Cookie Comeback

Cookies inspired by our local flavours have been around for some time. For instance, Peony Jade restaurant by The Quayside Group has been offering Mao Shan Wang cookies as part of its seasonal creations as early as 2010, and Caffe Pralet by Creative Culinaire, a small food business in Tiong Bahru, has been selling its signature Hei Bi Brittle cookies during the Chinese New Year period for several years.

Wei Chan, managing director of The Pine Garden, says that in line with its mission to re-imagine beloved recipes, the bakery has created Salted Egg Yolk Cereal cookies studded with freshly baked salted egg yolk, curry leaves and cereal bits, launched in time for this year’s Chinese New Year.

In recent months, we have seen an increase in the number of establishments offering these bite-sized treats on a more permanent basis. Among those leading the trend are heritage confectioneries like HarriAnns, modern patisseries such as Antoinette, and new speciality stores such as Old Seng Choong.
