These days, cakes retailing for S$2 are pretty much unheard of.
Enter Mai Zhi Wei Bakery (or MZW Bakery), a cheery neighbourhood bakery in Bedok that stands out from the rest with its extensive yet incredibly affordable array of chiffon cakes, Swiss rolls, and fresh bakes.
The light and fluffy, naturally sweetened chiffon cakes priced from a wallet-friendly S$2 are perhaps the stars of the show — there are 13 flavours to choose from!
You’ve got classics like Pandan, Banana (S$2), and Coffee (S$2), alongside more unique options, such as Durian, Mango (S$2), Cheese (S$2.50), and Blueberry Yogurt. They’re guaranteed to be a hit with both you and your ahma.
Not a fan of chiffon cakes? There are plenty of other sweet treats, like Triple Delight Pie (S$3), old-school Marble Cake (S$3.50), and Biscoff Roll (S$3.50), that are bound to tickle your fancy.
The bakery has even put its own spin on traditionally pricey French confections like Paris-Brest (S$5), a classic choux pastry with praline cream, and the crowd-favourite 4 Piece Macarons (S$8) in four different flavours — Blueberry, Strawberry, Mango, and Chocolate.
These macarons are larger than usual, so you’re really getting the most bang for your buck!
You can also find soft savoury buns in all our favourite nostalgic flavours (like Otah, Chicken Sausage, and Curry), a staple at literally every neighbourhood bakery.
Pair your preferred bakes with a bottle or two of Cold Brew Specialty Coffee by Round Boy Roasters. I’ve got my eye on the White Widow, a delicious-sounding milky white coffee with hints of vanilla, Irish cream, and tiramisu. Mmmm.
The next time you find yourself in Bedok South and are in need of a teatime treat, why not swing by Mai Zhi Wei Bakery for a couple of chiffon cakes?
