Rich and Good Cake Shop

Pretty self-explanatory, the shop sells cake that are “Rich and Good”. As straightforward as it sounds, the Swiss rolls handmade in the 22-year family business are neither simple nor boring. With the rolls coming in 10 flavours, ranging from local favourites such as kaya and durian, to classic flavours like chocolate and green tea, be assured you will find the perfect match for your taste. In the rare case where Swiss rolls aren’t your thing, they also sell other goodies like chiffon cakes, walnut cakes, almond squares, and pistachio cornflakes cookies.

While they deliver the same goodness to its Jewel branch with daily delivery of freshly made rolls from their Kampong Glam shop, unique to its Jewel outlet is the revamped hipster shop front and the option of mini Swiss rolls going at half the price of the original rolls.
