Founded in 1926 by Chan Hinky, the first Polar Café opened its doors at 51 High Street. Charting its growth along with Singapore, the Café weathered the World War II, thrived through the aftermath and continued to grow as our country modernized and prospered.
In 1986, Polar Café moved to its new premises at Raffles Place, accompanied with the opening of a factory at Leng Kee Road. A decade later, continual growth led to the addition of several outlets. The company has since been renamed Polar Puffs & Cakes. In 1998, due to the increased demand, the production facility was moved to a larger site in Woodlands.

Today, Polar Puffs & Cakes is a familiar and well-loved presence in food-appreciating Singapore, with a wide local network of 30 outlets and bistros, along with over 80 expanding distribution through petrol stations and convenience stores.

With such an extensive distribution network, Polar’s two HACCP accredited and Halal certified manufacturing facilities produces millions fresh and frozen pastries yearly.

Having proven the success of our products, we are now looking into exporting and franchise opportunities.

Why “Puff” and not “Pok”? The famous Polar Puffs is believed to be the first truly baked curry puff in Singapore.

When Polar founder, Mr Chan Hinky, took a spicy chicken curry filling and wrapped it in his special pastry dough, it resulted in a delicious buttery and flaky puff that won the hearts of many in the old Malaya and modern Singapore.

It looked nothing like the epok epok, a Malay snack that many of the local curry poks are modelled after; rather it is the oldest baked curry puff pastry with an unchanged recipe since 1926. And so, our signature Polar Curry Puff is born, and still delighting millions.
