Auntie Pat’s Traditional Eurasian Sugee Cakes & Cuisine
Facebook: @SugeeCake / +65 6445 5484
Auntie Pat, with all the traditions of a true-blue Eurasian, does her sugee cake with a strict discipline in approach. This version is as authentic as it gets, with all those butters and even spoons of brandy inside. The amount of hand chopped almonds in the cake is abundant and you feel that load of nuttiness in every bite. The butteriness shines through and the texture is soft enough but not overly so. Best to eat her version fresh off her kitchen. It’ s softly, sinfully good and very nutty yet not overly sweet. But it was still as good when we kept it for 3 days in the fridge.

They offer a selection of fine cakes, well made and very appealing in their brightly lit and white minimalist designer stall and shop (they have a few outlets). All their cakes are up there in the rank meter but what floored us time and again is their Kueh Salat, a layer of coconutty blue pea flower-coloured glutinous rice topped with a gorgeous, very eggy and gently sweet kaya. The pandan perfumes it and the coconut used in the kaya is decadent and so appealing. It costs north of their competitors but it's great to indulge every so often.
