Best pandan chiffon cakes in Singapore

Pandan chiffon cakes are not just a firm favourite among Singaporeans; tourists and celebrities are also known to lug home boxes of these fragrant gems when they are in the city. To perfect the cake, the eggs must be separated and whipped at high speeds to create a fluffy and light texture. The signature green hue comes from pandanus amaryllifolius leaves, which are pulverised then squeezed through a cheesecloth to obtain their natural essence. This National Day, we celebrate not just the traditional chiffon, but its delightful variations, such as pandan with kaya fudge and pandan butter cake, to name a few.

The unique combination of flavours will keep you wanting more. If you are looking for the best ngoh hiang in Singapore, then you have come to the right place. Here are the best restaurants to eat this delectable dish.
