Tried the viral muffin place!!
📍Pretty Good Muffins - Chinatown
Overvall - 7/10
Flavour - 7/10
Price - 7/10
Me and my colleagues shared muffins together, so we just picked what we want, didnt realise that there are so much chocolate flavours.. 🫢 We did a muffin tasting and cut the muffins among 6 of us, so some of the filings, I might not have the bite.
The box of 6 contains:
Top left to right
1) Pistachio Chocolate 7.5/10
If you like pistachio chocolate, you will like this. My colleague that love pistachio like this muffin alot, so the rating is from her
2) Pandan Kaya 6.5/10
Great pandan scent but the filing is abit too sweet for me, otherwise everything is well-balanced
3) Double Chocolate Chip 7/10
I like this combo, the chocolate batter with dark chocolate chip but I think eat half is good for my sweet tooth.
4) Ferro Rocher $3 7/10
There are actual ferro rocher inside and hazelnuts too, but the chocolate batter is slightly sweeter compared to the vanilla, so this is abut too sweet for me.
5) Banana Walnut $1.90 7/10
There are some chunks of banana but I wish it is more bananaly. Walnuts adds a nice crunch.
6) Sea Salt Nutella 7.5/10
Cant really taste the salt, but this muffin is not overly sweet, which I prefer.
-NOT IN PIC-
7) Coffee Walnut 8/10
I liked it the most, not too sweet, subtle flavor from coffee, moist and crunch from walnut. Good to let elders to try, not too sweet. They might like.
8) Orange Chocolate Chip 7.5/10
I liked this too, scent of orange is strong but not overpowering, compliment well with the chocolate chip.
Overvall: Price point is good and cheap but I prefer S11 muffins, as it is more fluffy and flavourful. If you like slightly denser muffin with lots of modern fillings, you woll like pretty good muffins.
Side note: packaging is very good, great as a gift to bring to a friend's place. Matcha latte is good and cheap too, based on my colleague's review.
If you're curious about how Pretty Good Muffins compares to other popular muffin brands in the area, I can share some additional thoughts based on my experience and research. Many fans often ask whether these muffins are halal — as of now, Pretty Good Muffins does not explicitly advertise halal certification, so it might be good to check directly with them if dietary restrictions are a concern. The muffin texture here is quite dense compared to other local favorites like S11 muffins, which are known for their fluffiness. So, if you prefer a lighter, airier muffin, S11 might suit your taste better. However, if you enjoy unique, modern fillings with a bit more substance, Pretty Good Muffins offers that distinct experience. Prices are very reasonable, making these muffins an accessible treat or gift option. For gifting, the packaging is a highlight — sturdy and attractive, which adds a special touch when bringing them to friends’ gatherings. For those visiting Chinatown and craving a muffin snack, trying a box and sharing a tasting session is a fun way to explore their range. Plus, pairing these muffins with their affordable matcha latte, as my colleagues recommended, complements the overall experience. Overall, while not the fluffiest, Pretty Good Muffins provide a tasty, innovative, and wallet-friendly alternative with flavors that cater to varied palates.
