Beyond traditional flavors, the brand is innovative and local-flavour forward: they experiment with fusion variants like Mala Pineapple Tarts to reflect Singapore’s diverse palate.

Wang Lai Bakery, established in 1968, has been a popular confectionary booth located in Chinatown that specialises in traditional pineapple tarts and Chinese goodies. If you are an avid Chinatown go-er every Chinese New Year, you will surely have come across our humble booth. What started off as a hobby of making CNY Goodies for friends and relatives, Wang Lai Bakery has come a long way to where it is today.
Preserving a traditional recipe passed down for 4 generations in the family, extraordinary efforts have been taken to constantly tweak and improve the family recipes to be as close as possible to perfection. Each goodie is lovingly handcrafted and plenty of attention is given to every single detail of its construction. Absolutely no shortcuts were taken in the process especially with the use of machines to maintain the goodies’ true authentic flavour, that is our ultimate mission.
