Why did I choose to write about Singa Snacks?
There are so many snacks store in Singapore but why did I choose to write about this one? I’m someone who loves eating these snacks, so when I see any store selling them, I will buy it 😋
After trying out so many, my favourite ones will be the ones in the coffeeshops. There is a difference in taste and texture as compared to the franchised stores. Not only do I prefer the taste from the store in coffeeshops, I also love being able to talk to the owners and build a connection with them. Sometimes I just need someone new to talk to feel happy 🥰
One thing I really like about Singa Snacks is the variety they have and it’s all handmade. It’s not just the usual red bean, peanut and coconut pancakes. They have flavours like Kaya Pandan, Black Sesame and many more! The best part? It’s not that sweet, which makes them perfect for people who prefer desserts with a more balanced sweetness or are a little more health-conscious.
Their Signature Peanut Butter Pancake is one of their popular items. I can definitely see why it’s a favourite. The pancake itself is soft and fluffy, and they were SO generous with the peanut butter filling 🤤 It wasn’t overly sweet either, which made it even better.
Can we talk about the muffins? There are so many flavours that you don’t usually see elsewhere. My favourite would be the Black Forest Muffin (but I forgot to take a picture because I ate it the moment I bought it 😭) It was moist, rich and chocolatey 🫶
I also enjoyed the Peanut Lava Choco Muffin because peanut butter and chocolate is one of my favourite combinations. Such a good snack if you’re craving for chocolate and peanut butter! And surprisingly, I really liked the Matcha Strawberry Muffin too. I’m not even a matcha girlie.
The waffles were really good too! I love that the waffle is not the soft kind, it’s more eggy and it’s not the normal thickness you will find elsewhere. Usually I will order the chocolate waffle but that day I was feeling blueberries 🫐 so I got that and it was so yumz, satisfy my sweet cravings.
Overall, this is definitely one of those places I’d get my snacks from if I’m around the area. Nothing too fancy, just comforting snacks with lots of flavour. If you’re around the area, I’d say it’s worth giving it a try🤭
📍Singa Snacks
Address: 118 Bukit Merah View
If you’re a fan of authentic, handmade snacks that offer a genuine local experience, Singa Snacks should definitely be on your radar. What I find especially charming is how this little coffeeshop vendor brings so many unique flavors to life, like their Black Sesame and Kaya Pandan pancakes, which you seldom find in franchise outlets. Each item is crafted daily with care, and you can really taste the difference in quality and freshness. One time, I stopped by around mid-afternoon craving something sweet yet light, so I tried the Signature Peanut Butter Pancake. The soft, fluffy texture paired with the generous peanut butter filling was an absolute delight — not overly sweet but just right, comforting and satisfying with every bite. If you prefer snacks that don’t overload on sugar but still excite your taste buds, this spot hits the mark perfectly. I also have to rave about their muffins. The Black Forest Muffin, although I didn’t snap a photo (because I couldn’t wait to eat it!), was incredibly moist and rich with chocolate flavor. Their Peanut Lava Choco Muffin was a fun twist combining my favorite duo of peanut butter and chocolate—perfect for an indulgent yet balanced treat. Even as someone who doesn’t usually go for matcha, the Matcha Strawberry Muffin was surprisingly enjoyable with its subtle earthy notes complemented by the fruity sweetness. The waffles here are a cut above the usual café options. They’re eggy and have a pleasant thickness that’s not too soft or dense, making them a perfect base for different toppings. I’ve tried the blueberry waffle, which was vibrant and fresh, satisfying my sweet tooth without feeling heavy. What’s more, Singa Snacks isn’t just about food—they create a welcoming environment where you can actually chat with the owners, which as someone who enjoys connecting with local vendors, adds a personal touch that many franchised shops lack. Their location in Kim San Leng Coffeeshop at Bukit Merah is easy to find and definitely worth a visit if you’re exploring Singapore’s food scene. In my experience, this snack place offers authenticity, variety, and quality that make every visit memorable. Whether you’re craving pancakes with unusual fillings, moist muffins in creative flavors, or sturdy yet light waffles, Singa Snacks has a comforting array that feels both nostalgic and fresh. Next time you’re around, give them a try—you might just find your new favorite snack spot in Singapore.
