For almost a century, Polar Puffs & Cakes has been a beloved name in Singapore, synonymous with delightful pastries and cakes that have brought joy to countless celebrations and everyday moments. Established in 1926, our homegrown brand has perfected the art of crafting pastries that not only satisfy cravings but also evoke nostalgia with every bite. Let’s take a delicious journey through 98 years of Polar Puffs & Cakes’ handcrafted signatures, featuring the famed Curry Puff, airy Sugar Roll, and buttery Chicken Pie.
The iconic Curry Puff: A crispy, juicy delight
Ask any Singaporean about their favourite snack, and there’s a good chance Polar Puffs & Cakes’ Curry Puff will be mentioned. Voted the #1 Curry Puff in Singapore by The Straits Times, this pastry is a true national treasure. But what makes it so special? It’s all in the perfect blend of flavours and textures.
The Curry Puff starts with a secret curry chicken recipe that has been carefully guarded and passed down through the decades. The filling, made from tender chicken pieces marinated in a blend of aromatic spices, strikes the right balance between heat and savoury richness. But what truly sets this pastry apart is the crust – a delicate, flaky pastry that crumbles beautifully with each bite. This French-style pastry, painstakingly handcrafted to ensure the perfect texture, complements the juicy curry filling, creating a harmony of flavours that’s nothing short of addictive.
Whether you’re grabbing one for a quick snack or serving them at a gathering, Polar Puffs & Cakes’ Curry Puff is a crowd-pleaser that never disappoints. It’s a little piece of Singapore’s culinary heritage wrapped in a golden, flaky crust!
The light-as-air Sugar Roll: A timeless classic
For cakes, sometimes simplicity is the ultimate sophistication. Our Sugar Roll exemplifies this with its light and airy texture that has made it one of the brand’s best-selling signatures.
This delicately hand-rolled sponge cake is a treat for those who appreciate subtle sweetness. The sponge is soft and fluffy, baked to perfection so that it practically melts in your mouth. Inside, you’ll find a generous layer of buttery cream filling that’s just sweet enough to complement the cake without overpowering it. The light dusting of sugar on the outside adds a slight crunch, making each bite a delightful contrast of textures.
The Sugar Roll’s appeal lies in its versatility. It’s the perfect companion to a cup of tea in the afternoon, a simple yet satisfying dessert after dinner, or even a quick indulgence when you’re craving something sweet. With every bite, you can taste the care and craftsmanship that goes into making each roll – an art that Polar Puffs & Cakes has been perfecting for nearly a century.
The comforting Chicken Pie: A warm hug in pastry form
When it comes to comfort food, few things hit the spot like a good chicken pie. Polar Puffs & Cakes’ Chicken Pie has been warming hearts and filling bellies for generations, making it a staple in many Singaporean households.
This signature pie is all about the filling: succulent chicken chunks, diced button mushrooms, and mixed vegetables, all encased in a buttery, golden-brown crust. The filling is seasoned to perfection, with each ingredient playing its part to create a deliciously savoury experience. The buttery crust is both tender and flaky, providing the perfect vessel for the rich, hearty filling.
Whether enjoyed as a meal on its own or as a savoury treat, the Chicken Pie is a comfort food classic that never goes out of style. It’s the kind of food that feels like a warm hug – a reminder of home, of family gatherings, and of the simple pleasures in life.
A legacy of handcrafted excellence
What makes Polar Puffs & Cakes stand out in Singapore’s vibrant food scene is not just the deliciousness of our products but the commitment to quality that has remained unchanged for 98 years. Each pastry and cake is crafted with care, using recipes that have been honed over decades.

Every curry puff, every sugar roll, every chicken pie that comes out of our kitchens is a reflection of nearly a century of passion and expertise.
