Hiap Joo Bakery Has New Vending Machine At City Square Mall

Hiap Joo Bakery & Biscuit Factory , a cult-favourite bakery in JB , has launched a new cake vending machine at the Farrer Park mall. 10 JB Bakeries Near The Customs To Da Bao Bread And Pastries For Your Loved Ones Situated on the B2 level near Kim Guan Goldsmith & Jeweller, this new vending machine offers a convenient way for Singaporean fans to enjoy the bakery’s signature treat without crossing the border. For the uninitiated, Hiap Joo is renowned for their wood-fired banana cakes and old-school buns.

Over at their JB bakery, a box of their Banana Cake costs RM13, which comes with 10 slices. The City Square vending machine dispenses boxes containing the same number of slices, priced at $8.60 per box—nearly double the price of the JB location.

We’re not sure if the size of each slice is the same, so we’ll leave you to judge whether it’s worth the quotation hike. To maintain freshness, the cakes are delivered daily from the OG Johor Bahru bakery via refrigerated trucks, ensuring the quality and taste are preserved. Restocking occurs twice daily, at 11:30 am and 4:30 pm, with each batch typically selling out within an hour.

Get The Famous Hiap Joo Bakery Banana Cake From This Vending Machine In Bukit Panjang Fans love Hiap Joo’s banana cake for its light yet moist, fluffy yet tender crumb. The cake is also stated to be not too sweet, so you can enjoy more without feeling jelak.

For those interested in trying the banana cake, the City Square Mall vending machine provides a convenient option. Even so, with the high appetite, we recommend visiting ahead of restocking times to secure a box.
