Ipoh’s Qunkee Biscuits & Bakery expands to Singapore

Ipoh Qunkee Biscuits & Bakery, a cherished confectionery in Ipoh, Malaysia, since 1975, has marked a historic expansion by opening its first international outlet in Singapore at Space @ Kovan along Yio Chu Kang Road.

This significant move signifies the confectionery’s foray beyond Malaysian borders, introducing its renowned traditional Chinese pastries to a new audience.

Founded by Chen Zhang Han, who ventured from Guangdong, China, in 1918, Ipoh Qunkee Biscuits & Bakery has been a staple in Ipoh for 48 years.

Initially establishing a restaurant in 1971, Chen later delved into the biscuit and bakery business in 1975. Despite having outlets in Malaysia, including Johor Bahru, the Singapore branch marks the first international expansion for this iconic establishment.

The confectionery’s allure lies in its array of traditional Chinese pastries. One of the highlights is the variety of egg tarts, including the Hong Kong Egg Tart, Portuguese Tart, Chicken Floss Tart, and Cocoa Tart. Other delectable options encompass Salted Dou Sha Bing, Wife Biscuit, Fermented Red Bean Curd Biscuit, and Hubby Biscuit.

Regardless of the chosen flavour, patrons can anticipate flaky and buttery tarts generously filled with rich egg custard. The commitment to quality is underscored by the daily baking routine, ensuring that customers enjoy these iconic treats with optimal texture and flavour.

One of the confectionery’s signature delights is the Kaya Puff featuring in-house-made coconut jam encased in an aromatic, buttery pastry. This pastry encapsulates the essence of Ipoh Qunkee Biscuits & Bakery, offering a unique and mouth-watering experience to patrons in Singapore.

Reflecting on the 45 years of legacy Qunkee Biscuit & Bakery remains one of the favourites among the Ipoh-ites and local tourists when it comes to traditional Chinese pastries.

As Ipoh Qunkee Biscuits & Bakery extends its legacy to Singapore, patrons can relish the continuation of a culinary journey that started in Ipoh in 1975.

The confectionery’s expansion across borders highlights the universal appeal of its traditional Chinese pastries and the timeless satisfaction they bring.
