Jane’s Cake Station 265 Jalan Kayu (Map) Mon – Sat: 12pm – 6pm, Sun: 12pm – 4pm Wed
Her little shop looks nothing like the fancy designer cake shops of this century, just a non- event shopfront looking like someone's living room with a huge freezer. No cakes visible and totally unattractive but make no bones about this- every cake you do or don't see is already pre-ordered. Ms Jane Lim still makes her stunningly moist chocolate cakes by hand in her little “aunty kitchen”, which looks like a typical HDB kitchen, out in the back with a humble oven. “I still use premium Belgium chocolate”, she declares. The beauty in her cake is the moisture (perfect) and density (does not make you think it’s too thick or thin and teasingly wobbly). She is generous with the chocolate and the best part is the touch of sea salt that enhances that whammy sense of chocolatey-ness in that not-too-sweet cake.

They are Teochew Chinese hawking fancy Nonya style sweet cakes and they had never made them prior to opening the stall. The mother and daughter team has a very prettily designed stall front with classic Nonya touches designed for nice pictures social media platforms. Their popular ang ku kueh come in moulds with cartoon charactors and faces and even fish, Chinese characters and flower motifs. It is also soft and gummy to the bite and filled with just sweet-enough mung bean paste fillings. They also offer spicy hae bi hiam (spicy pounded dried shrimps sambal), crushed sweet peanuts, red bean paste infused with dried orange peel flavour. And when in season, they offer it with durian fillings. These make great gifts and kids adore them.
