Sad news for cafe dwellers in Joo Chiat— the highly popular bakery cafe, Tigerlily Patisserie, will be shuttering for good on 30 Apr 2024.
The founder of the cafe, Chef Maxine Ngooi, made the announcement via social media on 5 Apr 2024. She thanked the bakery’s customers for their support over the past 4 years, and reflected on the accomplishments she had achieved, including being voted Pastry Chef of the Year at the World Gourmet Awards and being included in Prestige’s list of 40 under 40.
Chef Maxine previously worked in the prestigious Les Amis restaurant, where she was mentored by the renowned pastry chef, Cheryl Koh. Later, she gained experience at multiple Michelin-starred establishments before setting out to open her own bakery.
Tigerlily Patisserie first opened along Joo Chiat Road in 2021, where it quickly amassed a large following in a short period of time.
