Singaporeans might bemoan the recent closure of Non Entrée Desserts, a cafe best known for their creative-looking desserts that mimic local snacks and dishes.

Fret not, however, because there's yet another cafe in Singapore that boasts its own offering of locally-inspired desserts.

Locally-inspired desserts by a Le Cordon Bleu Paris trained chef

Run by a Le Cordon Bleu Paris-trained chef, Two Bakers cake has an outlet at Lavender and Serangoon.

Here are some of the cafe's uniquely-Singaporean dessert creations to look out for:

1) "Bao Zi" (S$8.50)

Mimicking the look of an actual bao in a bamboo steamer, Two Baker's "Bao Zi" is made of Chrysanthemum white chocolate mousse, yuzu, lemon and matcha sponge.

2) Ondeh Ondeh (S$8.50)

On the other hand, "Ondeh Ondeh" is the cafe's reinvention of the traditional Malay dessert with coconut mousse, Gula Melaka jelly, pandan sponge and desiccated coconut.
