Hey eh eh! I made a trip down with my parents to Woodlands Loop/Terrace last Saturday. We heard of this cake shop which apparently was on some Channel 8 show so we decided to check it out. Located in an industrial area, there are many factories who are housed there. We even saw this guy buy off two bean curds directly from a staff in the kitchen. I was like "Wah, like that also can." Yes, can.
Puff pastries, bazhang (rice dumplings), curry puffs are just some of the foods made/sold. Once I exited the lift at Level 5, I could already smell the bazhang. It was a pleasant smell. I like it. really like it.
Eclairs, cheesecakes, cream puffs, pineapple tarts are just some of the food sold. There were so many people in the shop that there was barely enough space to open the fridge. T_T After which, we walked down to Woodlands Terrace where many food wholesalers are. The two more well-known ones are Fassler and Melvados. Fassler sells seafood stuff like fresh salmon and seafood soups whereas Melvados sells cakes, ice cream and more western stuff.
In Fassler, visitors get the chance to be in a cold room where all the frozen seafood are kept for sale. I always look forward to going in because it's like experiencing the North Pole in Singapore. The kids all love going in because its chilling fun. (geddit?) cos it's a CHILLer... -_-'''
I think it was really God that led us to Melvados on that day because it was the only day they were having a sample buffet. Like so many people were just holding toothpicks and stabbing the tiny cakes which ranged from brownies to carrot cakes. IT DOESN'T END THERE GUYS. They have black pepper smoked duck, tandoori chicken, cheese baked rice, clam chowder soup. LIKE YOUR LUNCH SETTLE ALREADY. You can see so many people just queuing over and over again just to eat all the samples. HAHAHAHA I was thinking "just take the whole tray home la."
I can never forget there was this one dude that was so gangster. Everyone was using toothpicks but guess what he used? SATAY STICK. I was like this dude.... genius man. Don't fight for the last piece with this guy cos his stick is longer than yours. (that's what she said) but seriously I was laughing along with my dad! He definitely has more experience. We went to buy pesto because my bro loves it and we also bought Soursop sorbet ;)

Usually these wholesalers will only open for half a day so try to go before 12PM if you want to explore because there is a lot of walking. Bring along your shades, extra bags (for the goods) and water bottle.If you wanna try the samples from Melvados, go on the last Saturday of every month!
Have a great weekend! Thanks for reading.
Be blessed, x.
