Editor’s Note

Last updated 29 May 2026

Our take: Sembawang Confectionery, despite its name, is located on Beach Road and offers a range of old-school bakes.

We note a collaboration with Dona Manis Cake Shop, which has a pop-up at Jewel, suggesting a shared heritage appeal.

Reviewers frequently praise their 'heritage cakes' for being soft and traditional, with some specifically mentioning the 'old school cream cakes' as a highlight.

The tuna mayo and egg mayo breads also receive positive mentions.

However, there are inconsistencies in quality.

While some find the cakes nostalgic and buttery, others report the banana cake as hard and dry.

A significant concern is a report of a 'funky & rancid' butter cake slice, indicating potential issues with freshness or storage.

Service can also be slow, with only one staff member attending to customers at times.

We'd recommend focusing on their heritage cakes and savoury breads, but advise caution with other items and to inspect purchases for freshness.

Best for those seeking a taste of traditional bakes, but be prepared for potential variability.

What customers say

Sembawang Confectionery, despite its Beach Road location, is praised for its nostalgic, old-school bakes, particularly the heritage and cream cakes which offer good value.

While some items like the tuna mayo and egg mayo bread are well-received, the custard puff and banana cake have been noted as underwhelming.

A significant concern is the occasional issue with stale or rancid butter cake, raising food safety worries.
