1. THE LAPISERIE
Founded by second-generation baker Cheng, whose professional path includes time at Wu Pao Chun and the Mandarin Oriental, THE LAPISERIE draws from more than half a century of family baking tradition. Over the years, the brand has become a festive favourite, especially during Chinese New Year, with lapis cakes selling out early. It is a legacy carried with pride, expressed through craft rather than idle proclamation.
Evident from its name, THE LAPISERIE treats lapis cakes with honour. Each Signature Lapis is assembled patiently — layer by measured layer, using time-honoured techniques, premium Halal-certified ingredients, and the richness of 100% New Zealand butter.
This commitment to perfection has cultivated a devoted following across Singapore and Malaysia, with over 740 verified 5-star customer reviews (at the time of writing). Past festive seasons have seen popular Chinese New Year offerings sell out early, making early planning a familiar practice among returning customers.
The opening of a permanent Atelier at Komtar JBCC adds a further dimension to the brand’s story, where live baking offers a glimpse into the rhythm and ritual behind each creation.

The All-in One Lapis (RM145) brings together a quartet of Classic, Prune, Pandan and Pineapple — a timeless delicacy fit for a feast and a popular choice for gifting.
THE LAPISERIE - Lapis cakesThe Classic Lapis (from RM63) anchors the range with buttery depth and a melt-in-the-mouth softness, while Pineapple Lapis (from RM75) introduces sweet-tangy notes suited to the season. Earl Grey Lapis (from RM70) leans towards intricacy, its floral and citrus accents lift the palate and linger softly, while Cranberry Lapis (from RM68) offers a lively contrast of tangy cranberries folded between rich, buttery layers.
The artisanal cookies echo this same sensibility. Sea Salt Chocolate Cookies (RM29) balance sweet and subtle savoury, where deep cocoa meets a texture that moves effortlessly from crisp to tender.
Pistachio Crunch Cookies (RM33), made with freshly ground nuts, are clean and resolute, leaving a lingering nuttiness to look forward to in every bite. Ong Lai Balls (RM29) are curated for traditional festive snacks’ aficionados who simply can’t resist the burst of luscious pineapple filling underneath the golden, flaky crust.
There is an ease to THE LAPISERIE’s offerings that makes them especially fitting for Lunar New Year. In a gesture of festive generosity, selected seasonal purchases totalling RM880 come with a complimentary Earl Grey Lapis 7” x 3.5” half cake, while stocks last.
Guests may sample the collection in person at their Komtar JBCC store or pop-ups in Singapore — featuring Prox Coffee (24 to 25 Jan) and Raffles Xchange CNY Fair (19 Jan to 13 Feb). You can also choose the convenience of online ordering, with regional delivery available across Singapore and Johor Bahru.
