This old confectionery shop had been around for years. Think the shop started in the 1960s or 70s and is well known for their traditional peanut cookies, kuehs and cakes. They cater wedding cakes & pastries, birthday cakes, baby full month celebration cakes etc. You know it they have it.
This shop is called Gin Thye, located at 423 Sembawang Road.
All sorts of traditional pastries were displayed for sale in their glass cabinets
Trays and trays of freshly baked sweet/ savoury bean paste pastries (Tau Sar Piah), Wife Biscuits, Husband Biscuits, Sun Biscuits and Moon Biscuits. 
The shop also bake simple cakes and muffins. The whole shop smelt nicely of freshly baked butter cakes and muffins. Looking at these cakes makes my mouth watered.
