1. Choux puffs from Boms & Buns
These pastries will huff and puff and blow your mind! The dynamic duo behind Chulop has established another bakery that’s got everyone clamouring for its offerings. The cold choux puffs, affectionately known as boms, come in flavours like Susu Keju (milk and cream cheese), Coffee Cream Dulcey, and kaya butter. The prices might be a little steep, but we say they’re more than worth it.

6. Fish skin and potato chips from Irvins
The salted egg fish skin from Irvins is jam-packed with real salted egg, curry leaves and red chilli peppers, making this halal snack dangerously addictive. It also has a selection of other flavours if you’re not big on salted egg. You can check out Japanese spicy ebi and chicken curry – but we still have a soft spot for the OG flavour.

7. Tarts and pastries from Kopi & Tarts
Mayson Bakery’s halal concept offers up some seriously delish tarts and pastries. We love its egg tart and peanut butter brownies that pair perfectly well with – you guessed it – a cup of kopi! You can also give its muffins, cakes and toast a try. Or if you’re a fan of savoury snacks, order the mini tuna puffs or chicken pie.

11. Churros from Chulop! By the Syarifs
We love churros, especially when they’re warm and come with indulgent sauces on the side. But if you’re feeling lazy to head out, we’ve got good news. Chulop delivers piping hot, bite-sized churros right to your doorstep. Order the original flavour if you prefer a more traditional taste. Alternatively, go local and try the pandan churros coated in desiccated coconut and served with a house-made gula melaka dip.

The halal cookies and bakes at Butter Studio are inspired by time-tested recipes passed down through generations. Think playful spins on familiar home-style bakes like melt-in-your-mouth lychee kueh bangkit or buttery chocolate chip almond cookies. Yum!

16. Ondeh ondeh tarts from Ondeh Ladeh
Currently closed.
If you’re crazy for ondeh ondeh, you’ll fall in love with these sweet treats. The folks behind Ondeh Ladeh put a spin on things, combining the best flavours of the traditional kueh with the buttery crust of pineapple tarts. The OG flavour is great on its own, but we recommend mixing things up with the lychee rose tarts (they’ll look so pretty on your Instagram stories).
