Bakes n Bites is a 15-year-old under-the-radar hawker bakery at Old Airport Road Food Centre in Singapore. That is, until 8days.sg recently featured the elderly couple behind it and their delicious cakes. Hawker-baker Christopher Lau, 72, was a former manufacturing engineer who pivoted to F&B after he couldn’t find another corporate job after being retrenched at age 55. He is assisted by his wife Christina Tan, 69, who comes by the stall to help after her day job in an administrative role at a construction company. Their signature items are chicken pies, curry puffs, brownies and delightfully moist chilled muffins.
In the video, he referenced a few eateries that had allegedly closed (like Flor Patisserie). It included Bakes n Bites, with a photo of the owners (see above screenshot of the video before it was deleted) with the word “closed” prominently displayed.
However, a quick Google search would have revealed that Bakes n Bites remains very much open for biz.
