Even their name, Haengbok Cakeyo, is a smart double entendre that sounds similar to “happiness” in Korean.

What sparks even more joy is how you can easily hop to other cool neighbours like Strangers’ Reunion and the new Three Point Two.

As far as the shop space goes, it’s a smaller takeaway space but beautifully decked in colours and flowers. The most eye-catching fixture inside has to be the pink neon sign at the entrance — your next OOTD spot?

Of course, the main thing to get at Haengbok Cakeyo is their Macarons, which they named K-Style Fatcarons.

However, if you want to amp up the decadence, they also have K-Style Fatfatcarons (S$5.80/pc, S$19.80/4pc) which are basically macarons with thicker filling.

Haengbok Cakeyo came up with some interesting flavours for them such as Double Citron, Blueberry, Matcha, Strawberry, and Oreo Cheesecake.

But the most interesting ones have to be the local-inspired Orh Nee and Ondeh Ondeh. All of these Fatfatcarons are stuffed with filling and intricately embellished, definitely a great gift idea for dessert lovers.

For the K-Style Macarons, regular filling size goes for S$3 per piece or S$15.80 for 6 pieces.

These come in 6 different flavours, namely Mango, Speculoos, Pistachio, Chocolate, Vanilla Bean, and Raspberry.

Other than the macarons, Haengbok Cakeyo also sells these mouth-watering Chubby Cookies ($5.80/pc, S$14.80/3pcs).

These monstrously thicccc parcels of richness are available in Pandan Gula Melaka, Red Velvet, Choco Chip, and Double Chocolate.

These are the denser and chewier variety, for those who are sick of the gooey cookies that are so popular everywhere.

Alternatively, if you want fluffier desserts, they also serve up cakes as their name suggests. There’s the small but absolutely adorably presented Mini Chiffon Cake (S$9.80).

These are a throwback to the bento cakes that were so popular a while back — a light fluffy cake layer at the base, beautifully topped with cream then put in a small “bento box”.

Definitely worth making a trip down if you have a massive sweet tooth, or just love Korean desserts in general. Everything is so beautifully made, you might even have a hard time trying to eat them!

The post Just opened: Korean desserts cafe Haengbok Cakeyo is a new happy spot for sweets lovers appeared first on Confirm Good.

Singaporeans love Japan—upscale omakase joints were booked up three months in advance at one point.

Fortunately, Sweets Craftsman is a more affordable spot to satiate that wanderlust.

The small café is newly opened at Jalan Besar, near to other popular desserts spots such as GelatoLabo and Lucid.

Being a non-descript 4-seater, it’s mainly meant to serve as a takeaway spot.

If it’s a bit out of the way, they also have a site you can order from.

If you’ve seen photos of their food on social media, it’s most probably their Fujiros. Fujiros because the swiss rolls feature a silhouette of Mt Fuji in the cross section.

The pastry chef behind Sweets Craftsman has more than a decade of baking experience.

With experience at places like Raffles Hotel, it’s natural his creations look aboslutely stunning and intricate.

Their signature Fujiros come in a variety of flavours but the most popular has to be their Matcha Fujiro (S$7.80).

It sports a matcha sponge cake exterior and is filled with strawberry cream and a “Fuji” that comprises of matcha and whipping cream.

Or if you’re not a matcha person, there’s a Tieguanyin Fujiro (S$7.80) for similar tea-infused flavours and a Chocolate Rasperry Fujiro (S$7.80) for those who prefer richer flavours.

There are also both the Yuzu Orange Meringue Cake (S$6.80) and Summer Berries Meringue Cake (S$6.80) available as cake alternatives to the swiss rolls.

Sweets Craftsman isn’t just a cake shop either. They also have a decent selection of pastries such as Chocolate Chip Cookies (S$5.60/2pcs), Butter Croissants (S$3), and Sea Salt Brownies (S$3.50).

Apart from those, they also make some extremely photogenic tarts. The most popular are the fruity varieties such as Blueberry (S$6), Strawberry (S$6).

Other than that, there’re also the chocolatey Valrhona 72% Arguani (S$6.50) and zesty Lemon Meringue (S$6.50).

I can see Sweets Craftsman becoming a popular spot for café hoppers in an area filled with hotspots. Which is great, because Singapore definitely needs more Japanese bakeries.
