"...The absolute BEST pineapple tarts in Singapore! The soy tarts, pineapple tarts and coffee cookies are items that I buy most often..." — https://www.bestinsingapore.co - Where to Find the Best Pineapple Tarts in Singapore 5 May 2020 "...L.E. Cafe Confectionery & Pastry is one of the oldest and most well-loved pastry stores in Singapore. Because of their popularity, orders for CNY goodies typically open from the October prior to CNY, and cease in early January. However, some of their most favoured items will still be in stock for walk-in purchases. To prevent a wasted trip, give them a call to enquire for available stocks first." — Bernice Quek for www.bumblescoop.com - 18 Most Popular Chinese New Year Goodies to get in 2019, 13 January 2019 "... these tarts from Le Cafe Confectionery & Pastry are round and fat in terms of their physical composition and appearance.

(Gold Award) — Sweetest things Singapore’s Best Desserts 2005 "The pastry is soft, richly so, so you don't really need to eat more than one or two, and so crumbly, you have to bite into it with a hand cupped under your chin, or suffer egg on your face..." — Sylvia Toh Paik Choo The New Paper, 10 February 2002 "The best pineapple tarts in all of Singapore is to be had from LE Cafe...They are the most goondu-sized ones, plump with delicious pineapple jam..." — Sylvia Toh Paik Choo Lifestyle@AsiaOne, 18 January 2001

Rum Balls
"Chocolate pastry spiked with rum is rolled into the shape of a little ball...LE Cafe’s version is deliciously chocolaty and rich in rum." — Sweetest things Singapore’s Best Desserts 2005 "...Right tasting Rum Balls are not easy to come by; most are either over-done with chocolate coating, or their sugariness sit on the extreme end of the scale. Quite distinctively, LE Café's rum-based pastry is coated with premium dark chocolate and overall sweetness of the ball is pretty much controlled. We had a good time indulging in them without feeling satiated." — Tiara Zhang for www.funkygrad.com, Dec 2010 
Mandarin Orange Christmas Log Cake "...The tantalizing Mandarin Orange Log Cake gave us a pleasant surprise. We were impressed by the brillant fusion of Western and Chinese ingredients. The Mandarin orange (a symbolic Lunar New Year fruit) is generously introduced in a soft orange sponge cake laced with fresh cream. These juicy orange bits come with a tinge of cointreau which bequeaths the cake a refreshing twist. The satisfying 'omph' derived from its highly delicate sponge that is akin to a baby's touch make the cake stand out...." — Tiara Zhang for www.funkygrad.com, Dec 2010 |
