Gin Thye

This traditional Teochew bakery, established since 1964, is one of the last few remaining ones that bake up age-old pastries. On its menu are lesser-known bakes, such as the da lao ping and fu jian tang, or Hokkien sweets. Next-generation owner Lawrence Lim has also introduced newer treats of durian mochi as part of the line-up. But Gin Thye’s best-seller is still its wedding biscuits – a traditional, customary treat that is fast losing relevance in today’s modern society.
