Dong Po Colonial Cafe (Closed)

步入店舖，就像進入時光隧道，走進新潮老店，帶有古老氣味，但又能品嚐充滿新式的精品美點。在新加坡點多士配蛋套餐係基本（無論早餐，下午茶都好想食），通常也是兩隻烚得半熟的蛋! 另外點了些蛋糕仔。蛋打出來都係蛋白有少少啫喱狀的蛋打出來，學習當地人食法，加醬油加白胡椒粉，簡單的配熱烘脆脆多士，咁又一個大滿足的下午茶。這裡的蛋糕也做得可口!朱古力球狀蛋糕，味道濃滑!配飲品一起食唔覺會甜和膩。另一個撻也食落感覺清新的。我坐在一張用康樂旗加上玻璃面的枱上享受美食，在想，如果這康樂旗能夠供顧客享用玩樂就好了！樓底高係舊樓的特式，坐下周圍環境唔會迫迫的。很舒適的一個小休地方。 建築物外觀也是很有舊日的風格特色。

Perhaps we should not forget about our origins by visiting such nostalgic cafe situated in Arab Street with some old school pastries and cakes or even a cup of coffee. Using the authentic recipes back dated into the 50s and 60s centuries, Dong Po Colonial Cafe allowed their customer to have a good feel back dating to the past and savouring the taste of then, surrounded by old school items around.The old school interior were pretty well r

Founded in April 2013 by 4th generation baker and former graphic designer Kelvin Soh, Dong Po Colonial Cafe harkens back to the early days of Singapore's coffee culture. With authentic Hainanese pastry family recipes passed down from the 50s, and a colonial style, nostalgic atmosphere, stepping into Dong Po Colonial Cafe is like taking a trip to the past!Ambience at Dong Po Colonial Cafe is reminiscent of olden style coffee shops along the waterfront of Singapore. With tiled flooring, sturdy and

When you think of nostalgic cafes, the ones that come to your mind are probably Sinpopo Brand, Tian Kee, Sin Lee, CMC Confectionery. There's no reason to miss out Dong Po Colonial Cafe, which specializes in so much cake, you can stuff yourself silly and still keep your wallets happy.One of the most amusing non-cake items: 3-hole cookie!The Lamingon Orange Cake (left) had a surprisingly strong orange flavour, which reminded me of the childhood Fruity orange candy infused in the old-school sponge

If you grew up in the 80's and would like to have a taste of the past to reminiscent, then you cannot give Dong Po Colonial Cafe a miss. The cafe sells a wide variety of impressive old school pastries that will "wow" people. Let me tell you why.The cafe is popular for the butterfly cupcake - such an interesting shape, isn't it? Taste wise, it is not that impressive as compared to the other cakes. The Lamington with dessicated coconut on the other hand, fared better. It comes in 2 flavours, so pi

Butterfly cupcake is an old school traditional kind of pastry and I've been wanting to try Dong Po's version as I heard it is nice! I tried it before from some other bakeries and they all tasted average. Upon the first bite, the feeling was like an instant 'shiok!' The cupcake is dense and I love the aromatic butter taste in the buttercream, which compliments really well with the plain cupcake batter. This is the best Butterfly Cupcake I've tried so far!The Almond finger has a nice crust and I l

This is my second visit here and I ordered a Teh and an Almond Macaroon Tart! I felt that their teh, as compared to their kopi I had on my first visit, was rather bland and not as aromatic as I expected it to be. However, their almond macaroon tart is yummy! The filling inside is dense and I enjoyed every bit of it!

I’m getting more and more sentimental recently. I wonder if this is all part of aging as I approach my mid-30s. Nostalgic stuffs really draw my attention these days, so does this quaint looking coffee shop with its traditional signboard.I was at Kandahar Street as I wanted to buy some swiss rolls from the Rich & Good Cake Shop but the queue was so long, it stretched all the way to the end where the popular Rumah Makan Minang Nasi Padang is. I thought of coming in to Dong Po for a coffee and past

I was so excited to visit this cafe as the previous time I went it was closed! I was there around 10+ am and the place was already packed but I managed to find a table at a corner! This cafe really gave an old school vibe with their decor and furniture. This is actually my table! There is a vintage telephone and various old school magazines and other items underneath the glass table. They have various breakfast sets and I got this set F, which consist of their highly raved Bostock and a cup of

When I first heard the name Dong Po Cafe, I was filled with excitement as it had been a long while since I last had 'Dong Po Pork', which is actually a Chinese delicacy whereby the pork belly is pan-fried and subsequently red-cooked to tenderness and melt-in-your-mouth perfection.After some looking around on the GPS and when we eventually reached the Dong Po Colonial Cafe, I was in for a rude surprise to say the least. There was no 'Dong Po Pork' nor was it a Chinese restaurant, it was a cafe to

A vintage style cafe well hidden at Arab street, this place is adorned with many posters and items from the older days in Singapore. Dong Po Colonial cafe is known to sell traditional pastries using recipes from 1950s and 1960s. Though I must say I have no idea what cakes from 1950/1960s looked like, the cupcakes and pastries in the display counter look simple enough and nothing too fancy like the cupcakes we see today. I packed a box of pastries for takeaway and they include chocolate twirl cup

Entering this cafe when it ran out of kaya butter toasts and its signature bostock is just as disappointing as entering Ya Kun when their kaya toasts are sold out or even Breadtalk emptied of pork floss buns. Understandably, it was a busy Sunday at 5pm but I still could not swallow my disappointment. Other items that have appeared in other reviews such as Cream Horn, Long Sponge Egg Cakes, Cookies, etc......were all gone. Count myself lucky or unlucky, I managed to catch the scones which were f

Quite a popular café these days. What's made me come here again is the pastries available at this place. However not much choices are left when I made the visit. The slice of apple aloe cake($2.20) is quite light in texture and does not taste too sweet. It is my first time having a cake with aloe cubes in it.Another pastry is the well known 3-hole cookie($1.90). It looks so pretty with 3 holes filled with different coloured jam. The texture of the cookie is firm and buttery.For just $5, you can

Retro cafe with lovely pastries to bring you back to the young days....I popped over during lunchtime, cafe was rather empty (which was great, because a quiet place for lunch was certainly what I needed after a hectic half day at work) and nice oldie song was playing in the background...Had their traditional kaya/butter toast , eggs with teh set and a muffin. The teh was milky and aromatic, just the kind I like. I could smell the nice smell when I was still eating my muffin.. =) I love it that

A cafe when one seems to step back in time with its vintage looking decorations.Bostock is the cafe's signature, which finished with freshly toasted almonds, has an all-rounded almond flavour, with hints of citrus in its rich custardy middle. It tastes very crispy and nutty with the evenly spread of almonds but would prefer more of the spread on the toast.For $3.50, it is served with a hot cuppa of Kopi or Teh as Set F. The teh C tastes as it has been sitting for sometimes, as it has abit of sou
