Previously operating as a home-based business, followed by a takeaway concept store in Tai Seng, Whisking Bakes is run by ex-cabin crew Chanel, who developed the “World’s First Orh Nee Tart Balls”.

The current pastel-hued space (with dine-in seating and all) is located just a few minutes from Lavender MRT Station, in the same HDB block housing the one-Michelin-starred Hill Street Tai Hwa Pork Noodle.

Taro is taken up a notch here, as evident from the selection of bakes to choose from. Think Taro Burnt Cheesecake (S$8), Old School Taro Cake (S$2.50), and of course, the signature Orh Nee Tarts (S$6.80 for five), buttery, melt-in-your-mouth pastry wrapped around creamy and fragrant yam filling. But of course. This is a taro cafe after all.

Non-taro lovers can go for the Bailey’s Burnt Cheesecake (S$7.50) or chunky NYC Levain Cookies (S$5).

The non-alcoholic Taro-Misu (S$6.50) and Taro Mochi Swiss Roll (S$5.50) seem to be the most popular, with the former comprising sponge fingers dipped in taro milk, yam paste, and mascarpone cheese — like a tiramisu without any of the coffee elements.

Do note that some bakes can also be pre-ordered online.

As for drinks, the Taro Latte (S$6), housemade taro paste topped with taro milk, is a standout. Alternatively, quench your thirst with in-house brewed Kombucha (S$5) in flavours like Sour Plum Lime and Strawberry Mint, or grab a Black Sesame Latte (S$6).

Regular coffee drinkers have the usual White (S$5) and Mocha (S$5.50) brewed using beans from Dutch Colony Coffee Co. The best part? You don’t have to top up for dairy-free soy or oat milk.

Be prepared to be whisked away by the yam-my desserts at Whisking Bakes.

The taro bakery will open on 7 August 2021, so here are a few items that’ll keep you on your toes.

Whisking Bakes, a bakery with taro desserts

Whisking Bakes was founded by Chanel Li, an ex-stewardess who made a career switch due to the pandemic. The store’s signature would be the Orh Nee Tarts, a buttery, melt in your mouth tart pastry wrapped around creamy fragrant yam filling. 

Sold at S$14 for a small bottle and $30 for a medium, these are the world’s first and only orh nee tart balls — a guaranteed love at first bite. The product has since garnered the attention of mass media, and the store has been seen on top radio stations such as Kiss92 FM.

Whisking Bakes also offers the Taro Burnt Cheesecake (S$7.20/slice). A mixture of a lusciously creamy cheese core and a subtly sweet taro middle, the soft textures dance together to create a symphony of flavours in your mouth.

For those who prefer a crispier bite, Whisking Bakes’ newly launched Tarolls will do just the trick. A crispy popiah skin envelopes warm fillings of yam paste, waiting to just explode with goodness.

Each pack will have 12 pieces and will be sold at S$13.50 per pack. The Tarolls are delivered frozen, so you can pop them into the oven, air fryer, or even pan-fry them for maximum freshness.

While we’re waiting for the taro bakery’s launch, customers can still order the products online via their website. There’s a flat delivery fee of S$10 per location, or you can choose to self-collect the baked goods instead.
