Raise your hands if you grew up eating traditional Chinese pastries and sweets such as tau sar piah (mung bean paste pastry) and lao po bing (wife cake or winter melon pastry) fed to you by your grandparents or well-meaning relatives. Unfortunately, the number of traditional bakeries that still sell them is dwindling, perhaps due to rising costs and declining popularity. But if you want to #supportlocal and treat yourself to a bout of nostalgia, here’s where to find bakeries that still sell traditional Chinese pastries and sweets in Singapore.

PS: These are the places to get traditional wedding cakes and pastries too.
