Ollella brings the rich heritage of Indonesian baking to Singapore through recipes that have been treasured in the founders' family for six decades. Established by sisters Ollyvia and Marcella Putri, this halal-certified bakery honours their grandmother's traditional methods while introducing modern interpretations that resonate with contemporary tastes.
The heart of Ollella's offerings lies in their expertly crafted kueh lapis, an Indonesian speciality known for its intricate layers and labour-intensive preparation. Each slice reveals the patience and precision required to create this beloved traditional cake, with variations that include their signature spiced lapis that earned features on 8Days and other media outlets. Beyond lapis, the bakery produces an array of classic kueh including kueh dadar, the pandan-coconut crepe rolls that deliver nostalgic flavours in every bite.
What sets Ollella apart is their ability to bridge tradition and innovation. While staying true to authentic Indonesian recipes passed down through generations, they've also developed contemporary creations like their viral ondeh cake and modern choux pastries that have garnered attention across social media. This duality allows them to serve both kueh purists seeking authentic flavours and younger customers looking for Instagram-worthy treats.
Now operating multiple outlets including Far East Square, Paragon, Mount Alvernia Hospital, and a Bedok factory location for self-pickup orders, Ollella has expanded from a passion project into a recognised name in Singapore's traditional cake scene. Their recent halal certification ensures Muslim customers can enjoy these Indonesian delicacies with complete peace of mind, further broadening their appeal across diverse communities.
