Dona Manis Cake Shop

Dona Manis Cake Shop is an old-school cake shop that doles out delicious Banana Pies.  It is also one of the last few traditional bakeries in Singapore. Not only is the shop old school but they are also located in the first ever mall in Singapore that has air conditioning. Although Dona Manis is reputable, the shopkeepers are humble and friendly.

Going all the way down to Katong for this and of course, we had ordered a box of it. If you are purchasing in pieces, there is no price difference compared to buying per box (10 pieces).

A box of Banana Pies - $30 

Interestingly, this Banana Pie was far more than I have expected.  It is made up of a few layers and each layer holds an important component. The first bite was a good mix of fragrant buttery crumbly crust with the sweet banana and roasted almond toppings gave it an additional crunch. The tinge of coconut in the pie enhanced and balanced out the taste of the Banana Pie.

Now I finally understand why do people rate it as the Best Banana Pie in Singapore.

Banana Pie - $3 (Per Piece)

Another hot selling item will be their cream horn and we were lucky to grab the last 2 cream horns with rainbow rice. 

Cream Horn - $2.50

The cream is light with rainbow rice attached to it. The pastry is flaky with each bite and fragrant, packing full of butter taste. The cream horn is not the soft type of pastries but the crunchy type. 

Wow

Having term as the Best Singapore Banana Pie in Singapore, there is no doubt that they have many returning customers and die-hard fans. Their pies are selling like hot cakes and sold out easily. Do go down early before they get sold out.
