Nostalgic bakery at ARC famous for castella cakes, egg tarts, and old-school Chinese pastries baked fresh daily.

Chong Pang Old Time Flavor brings a taste of nostalgia to Alexandra Retail Centre with its signature castella cakes, flaky egg tarts, and a range of traditional Chinese pastries that recall a simpler era of Singapore baking. The bakery is an offshoot of the beloved Chong Pang brand, known for its commitment to old-school recipes and techniques that prioritise flavour and texture over modern shortcuts.

Each castella cake is baked fresh, yielding a springy, eggy crumb that pulls apart beautifully. The display tempts with golden egg tarts, butterfly pastries, and sweet potato cakes alongside seasonal items like mooncakes during the Mid-Autumn Festival. The ARC outlet makes it convenient for neighbourhood residents to pick up a morning treat or an afternoon snack without travelling to the original Yishun location.

Pricing remains modest, staying true to the brand''s hawker-heritage roots. For a hit of old-school sweetness that takes you back to childhood bakery visits, Chong Pang Old Time Flavor at ARC delivers the goods. It is nostalgia, freshly baked.
