An English snack and pastry that made its way to Singapore during the colonial period, many of us have memories of snacking on a Swiss roll paired with tea, coffee or milo for afternoon tea.

Today we’ve rounded up some of the best swiss rolls in Singapore that will make a great simple gift, or for your own breakfast and afternoon tea!
