Modern renditions of the sweet treat have come in the form of cakes, ice cream, milkshakes, waffles and many more, but today we’re shining the spotlight on ondeh ondeh tarts! Here are 15 cafes and home bakeries in Singapore that have taken the traditional ondeh ondeh and gave it a twist. It’s impossible to just stop at one with these ondeh ondeh tarts!
