Sweedy Patisserie: New Hougang Cafe With Durian Cakes

If you’ve ever seen giant macarons with thick, luscious fillings, they’re most likely fatcarons, a uniquely Korean twist to the petite French pastry.

You can now get them at Sweedy Patisserie, a local homegrown brand that specialises in artisanal fatcarons, as well as durian cakes! The brand was started by a mother-daughter duo, who work together to produce their famous sweet treats.

Previously, Sweedy Patisserie’s desserts were only available online, with occasional pop-up stores around the island. You can now purchase them from their brand new flagship located a bus ride away from Kovan MRT Station.

Each fatcaron is literally #thicc with beautifully swirled cream. These sinful treats, which taste as good as they look, are worth indulging in. The flavours are updated monthly, with the specials for February being: Strawberry Cheesecake, Creme Brûlée, Cookies & Cream, Ferrero Rocher, Brownie Fudge, and Red Velvet.

Try their bestselling Ferrero Rocher, which stars an almond chocolate coating, chocolate hazelnut buttercream, and a Nutella filling. Alternatively, go for Strawberry Cheesecake, which sees strawberry cream cheese, white chocolate, and a strawberry jam centre.

You can get these fatcarons individually for $5 or in a box of six, priced at $30. If you’re a durian lover, you definitely cannot miss out on their signature Mao Shan Wang Mousse Cake ($12.80). Each slice features luxurious Mao Shan Wang flesh between layers of fresh vanilla sponge cake, topped with almond crumbs to complement it all.

If you’re not a fan of durian, Sweedy Patisserie also offers other cake flavours to choose from, such as Pistachio Mille Crepe ($11.80) and Strawberry Shortcake ($10.80). There’s also a brunch menu, which is available from 11am to 6pm. Most customers come for their Breakfast Sammie ($14), which has scrambled eggs, cheddar, candied bacon, and hashbrown—drizzled with maple syrup, and sandwiched between slices of soft brioche toast.

Alternatively, Beef Melt ($16) is another popular sandwich, which sees a generous amount of beef slices, caramelised onions, and mozzarella cheese, accompanied with sourdough bread. Drinks-wise, Sweedy Patisserie offers coffee and tea options.

You can get a cup of Espresso for $4.80. For non-coffee options, go for their iced Chocolate ($6.80) or Passionfruit Fizz ($6.80) which boasts a refreshing combination of passionfruit, lemon, and lime.
