Lunar New Year is right around the corner and we have just the sweet treats for the celebration, such as the famous Pandan which is returning to the Crosstown line-up alongside a brand-new Pandan Lamington cake doughnut!

Pandan – Our signature sourdough has been infused with fresh pandan leaves, filled with a homemade coconut custard, then topped with a vibrant pandan icing, and finished with desiccated coconut. 

Pandan Lamington – Pandan and white chocolate ganache, piped between two layers of Pandan infused cake dough, generously covered in a Pandan icing, then rolled in desiccated coconut. 

So what exactly is Pandan? 

Pandan is atropical plant that grows freely in many parts of Asia which has become a much-loved ingredient found in South Asia and Southeast Asian cuisine. Pandan is used in both sweet and savoury dishes in Chinese, Indonesian, Malaysian and Filipino dishes, to name a few. The flavour can be described as resembling vanilla with floral notes and a hint of coconut.
