Balmoral Bakery - Sunset Way Residence

Old school bakery and confectionery that serve a whole lot of old school goodness! The donuts were unusually soft fluffy. Samosa were equally tasty!

The journey to the Bakery itself was actually really interesting. I walked all the way from Clementi MRT and passed by many Hidden Coffee-Shops and Eateries which no doubt I will be visiting next time to explore! Along the way there was even a Beautiful Riverside Park as you can seen in my photo. The Bakery itself is located in a Mini Town-Centre which itself has even more Eateries and even Alfresco Pubs. The Journey was quite refreshing and amazing to see a different and quieter side of Clementi compared to the bustling and busy MRT Town Central that most of us are familiar with. As for the Bakery itself, it seems to have started since 1965. Run by a very friendly Auntie, the interior of the Bakery is Air-Conditioned which is a little unusual for an Old-School Bakery. One thing to note is that they accept Cash Only. There were a few items I bought and here are their mini reviews: 1) Curry Samosa I believe this is one of their famous menu-item. It has intricate layers and a very crispy bite-feel. Curry was smooth and mild and very Potatoey. Highly recommend to eat it Hot and Fresh. 2) Walnut Carrot Cake Another popular item on their menu, This one was Bouncy with little chucks of Walnut pieces playfully scattered around. One thing was that I thought the texture was too Dry imo. For the below 3 items, I made the mistake of eating them on the spot. Personally I feel they should be brought home to be refrigerated first as they would taste even better when cold. 3) Old-School Buttercream Cake The Coffee Cream on this one is Thick, Creamy, Smooth and Soft. Taste of the cake itself is Melt in your Mouth. 4) Cream Puff This one has a lovely outer pastry layer that has a slight crunch with a slight sweetness. Buttercream serving was generous and not overly sweet. 5) Chocolate Eclair The taste of this Pastry Dough felt like the same one they used for their Cream Puffs. Bursting with mildly sweet Coffee Cream (Same Cream on the Buttercream Cake) and a nice delicious outer Chocolate Covering. Conclusion Summary: This Bakery definitely lives up to expectations. I now understand why it is so highly recommended. Two Thumbs Up indeed!

An authentic bakery that serves freshly homemade sweets. It was started in 1965 and till now they have made unique desserts with various taste and shapes. They have modern desserts such as cupcake,donuts and muffins as well as more traditional desserts such as Tarts, pastries and bread. My personal recommendation is the beetroot cake as it’s soft and fluffy, the coconut tart as it is flavourful and unique. The crust of the tart is beautifully stuck together. Last per not least, the cream horn brings back various memories from generations and beyond. Honestly, they have a divine mixture of tradition and modernity all in this shop. I definitely recommend this place for you.

Tried most of the cakes and pastries in store but found nothing special about them. The puffs were really dry, the crust especially. Meat fillings were very stingy. Butter bread, coconut bread is not fluffy and the bread is very dry also. Bought the Swiss roll too as it looks moist but turns out to be very dry as well. The cream is overwhelming and there’s an after taste to it. Probably from the artificial flavoring and coloring. Most of the items available are dry and not very delectable.

An old school bakery to cater to the nostalgia of the older generation, yet lacks any real flavor in the crust of the tarts. I got both the coconut and egg tarts and they were both a huge disappointment (might have been the worst egg tarts I have ever eaten ☹️). The only plus side (?) is that they look not bad, which was super deceiving.

family fav and mine too! The only bakery in my pov that sells the best buttercream. Cheap and yummy!! even tho their price rise every year from $1.5 to $1.70 (this year) but standard is still there!

Established in 1965, this old school bakery is easy to spot along Sunset Way : it's the corner with the red bricks. It's the only shop I know of, right now, that still sells cream horn, creme puff, and the old style chocolate eclair. They also sell savoury pastry like curry puff and pie (available in chicken or beef). Of course, they also have buns (a decent variety, but I didn't see any of the "new" gimmicky flavours). And lastly, they also have cakes, sliced or whole. The savoury puff and pie may be on the smaller side, but it's packed with ingredients, making them a yummy and satisfying snack. If you have a hankering for the old style pastries, especially the cream horn and eclair, drop by and grab some. From what I know, they open from 9am to 7pm, and you should go earlier in case the items you want are sold out.

Old school bakery, but I love it! They have my favourite custard bun. They have a assortment of cakes. I bought a small beef pie, tuna puff and finished it at one go! The standard is average but it's fresh! And easily comfort food for me. I will go back and get their Samosa!
