Established in December 1983 as Kele Confectionery by the parents of Adrian and Gordon Ang, the bakery was rebranded to simply 'Kele' in February 2017, when the brothers took it in a modern direction. As a result, Kele offers a small curated menu of traditional and modern baked goods, specialising in Chinese pineapple tarts and cookies, and Japanese roll cakes.

Ambience at Kele is casual and simple. There is no seating here, as their stalls are pure takeaway. But I love the bright, vibrant, eye-catching displays of their products. The colourful and bright displays look cheery and attractive.

Service at Kele is friendly and knowledgeable. Staff patiently answer questions about their products, from describing ingredients to recommending preferences. They work efficiently to pack orders for customers, so the queue moves smoothly.

Food at Kele is all about desserts, but also depends on which stall you go to; the original focuses on traditional Chinese confectionery, while the other focuses on modern French Japanese confectionery. Both offerings are specialities, executed to consistently high standards. Portions are designed for sharing. Prices are slightly more expensive for their expertise, budget about SGD $12 per person.

Their Japanese roll cakes are made with Japanese wheat flour, resulting in each roll cake being light and moist. However, these desserts are given a Singaporean twist with modern and traditional flavours, with a total of 12 different varieties on the menu. New seasonal flavours are also introduced quarterly.

The Black Charcoal Mao Shan Wang Roll Cake (SGD $15.90) has a soft moist charcoal black roll cake, filled with creamy rich mao shan wang durian flesh. Invoking a guilty pleasure, the bold fruity sweet flavours are punchy and pungent. A bestseller for good reason. Good!

The Mango Cream Cheese Roll Cake (SGD $10.90) is surprisingly light. With a soft moist yellow roll cake, the filling of light cream cheese and chunks of juicy mango cubes create a burst of fruity sweet milky flavour. Has to defrost a while for maximum taste. Good!

The Avocado Gula Melaka Roll Cake (SGD $10.90) is inspired by a milkshake the founders regularly had as children. With a soft yellow moist roll cake, the filling of creamy mashed avocadoes infused with sticky gula melaka / palm sugar results in a bold vegetal earthy floral sweet flavour. Feels luxurious yet comforting. Worth ordering!
