Gin Thye Cake Maker

Gin Thye’s website has this opening statement: Few things bring people together like good food. Unilocal should become friends with Gin Thye.
Whenever I walk past this bakery, it’s the aroma of waffles that makes my head turn. At peak periods there’s always a tiny queue — usually made up of students — they know that a mean waffle equals to a fluffy yet crispy waffle, generous heavy filling, and has to come CHEAP. A heartwarming waffle like that can make a tired student’s day.
The location’s at the blocks of HDB flats next to Bishan Junction 8, it’s one of the more prominent bakeries, look for the one with the waffle station on the left, though it has a sign attached to it saying: ‘WAFFLES MAKE THE OTHER SIDE’.
Gin Thye is good at their cakes, after all they’ve been making it since the year 1964. You can pre-​order cakes from them for various occasions.
