Lek Lim Nonya Cake Confectionery carries forward a proud legacy that began in 1968 when founder Leck Peng Kwan started handcrafting traditional kuehs in his home kitchen in Kampong Chai Chee. Over 54 years later, this humble family-run sweet shop continues to preserve their Strait-Chinese founder's recipes and techniques, now combining traditional methods with modern food technologies at their Bedok North retail front and full-fledged kitchen.
The confectionery is perhaps best known for its Ang Ku Kueh, priced at just 95 cents, which gained immense popularity since the 1980s and remains a customer favourite. Their Soon Kueh at one dollar sixty features a savoury filling of turnip, dried shrimps, bamboo shoots, and fried shallots, demonstrating the attention to detail that goes into each handmade piece. Every kueh is crafted with love using the same recipes from 1968, maintaining authenticity while meeting modern food safety standards.
Located at 84 Bedok North Street 4, Lek Lim holds both ISO 22000 Food Safety and Halal certification, making their traditional Nyonya kuehs accessible to the Muslim community. The business has expanded its reach through Chu Fa by Lek Lim, an initiative to share these traditional handcrafted delights globally, ensuring that the heritage of authentic Singaporean kueh-making continues for future generations.
