Dua Bakehouse

This sibling to CBD bakehouse Raya casts the net wide for inspiration and its cabinet looks like no other around town. Staff in the open kitchen shape pillowy shokupan rolls and slice slabs of potato rosemary focaccia. Cakes are no-rules mashups that work, whether matcha-banoffee pie or pandan-marzipan Swedish princess cake. Drinks might be TikTok-ready but their quality isn’t an afterthought, especially the malted strawberry matcha.

Must order: Pork and prawn sui mai sausage rolls are country-bakery-meets-yum-cha magic.
