found my next period craving fix 🤤
came across paparch because a friend brought us there, and ever since it's just been on my mind. 😮💨
it's located at arab street. there's no seating inside, but the space is really quiet and comforting, and the way they display the food is very aesthetic. ✨
as someone who doesn't really eat sweet treats on a weekly basis, I found the price quite reasonable. it's more of an occasional thing when i'm craving it, which is usually on my period. my go-to period craving is normally waffle gelato, but this might just be what i lock onto for my next cycle. 🤏🏼
they have 5 flavors in total, and i tried the original, chocolate, and ondeh ondeh. here is my take on them =
original: a must-try if you want that classic, good cheesecake flavor.
💓💓💓💓💓
chocolate: this would be my next pick, though the cheesecake taste isn't as strong in this one.
💓💓💓💓
ondeh ondeh: i found this quite sweet for my liking... but i think the error falls on my part. so advice, since it's a specialty flavor, don't critique it for being a cheesecake. judge it based on the ondeh flavor itself and you might just like it more than i did.
💓💓💓

takeaway only
If you’re like me and only indulge in sweet treats occasionally, especially when those period cravings hit, finding the perfect snack that satisfies without overdoing it can be a game-changer. Paparch on Arab Street fits that need perfectly. What’s great is that their cheesecakes are individually handcrafted with care, which you can tell just by looking at the beautiful display—very Instagram-worthy as well! One tip for first-timers is to try their original flavor to get a true taste of classic cheesecake. It’s creamy, smooth, and not overly sweet—just right when you want that rich, indulgent taste without feeling overwhelmed. The chocolate flavor is a solid choice if you want something a bit more decadent but still with a cheesecake base. The ondeh ondeh flavor is unique and definitely a specialty; it’s sweet with a coconut and palm sugar twist, which may take some getting used to if you're expecting traditional cheesecake flavor. Try it for a fun change of pace! Pricing is surprisingly reasonable considering the quality, at about $8.80 for a box of mini squares. They even allow you to add a single box takeaway option for convenience, which is perfect if you want to grab a quick sweet fix on the go. The place itself is takeaway only with no seating, but the quiet, comforting vibe makes it an enjoyable stop, especially if you appreciate a calm atmosphere away from the usual hustle. If you’re managing your period cravings or simply looking for a new dessert to try in Singapore, Paparch offers a thoughtful range of flavors and a satisfying experience. Just remember to handle the cakes gently—you’ll often see signage explaining that each piece is handcrafted with care, so respect the display as you pick your favorites. This attention to detail is part of what makes it so special and why it’s become a craving fix for many like me. In summary, Paparch at 48 Arab Street is not just a dessert spot but a thoughtful experience for those occasional indulgences. Whether you’re craving a classic or want to experiment with local-flavored cheesecakes, this place should definitely be on your radar for your next sweet treat journey.
