Crowd-favourite Keong Saik Bakery’s rendition of this pastry is known as Crolls, and unlike the rest, it’s much smaller in size. It has four offerings on the menu, namely Pistachio Praline, Milo and Genmaicha, as well as a pasta-inspired flavour Cacio e Pepe, filled with Parmigiano Reggiano and pecorino cheese and balanced out with freshly ground pepper.
