Tanjong Katong Road: Chefy Bakehouse, Handmade Bakery at its Best!

These chocolate chips cookies & almond cookies were insanely delicious! Chefybakehouse is definitely our kind of bake house for cookies – not too sweet (chocolate chips), ever so slightly and full of flavour(almond). We prefer a crisp cookie and Chefybakehouse delivered.
