There’s something timeless about old-school desserts—they remind people of carefree afternoons, simple joys, and the comfort of childhood memories. This August, in celebration of Singapore’s 60th birthday, Tai Cheong Bakery is bringing that feeling back with a special treat that’s both nostalgic and delicious: the Raspberry Ice Cream Brrr-lo Bun, available for just $3.60 from 1 to 9 August 2025, while stocks last.
If anyone grew up in Singapore, the memory of an ice cream uncle pushing his cart or arriving on his motorbike probably brings an instant smile. That soft rainbow bread and a cold slab of ice cream—iconic, affordable, and heartwarming. Tai Cheong Bakery now takes that comforting idea and gives it a modern twist by sandwiching raspberry ice cream into their mini bolo bun, known for its golden crust and fluffy interior.
And this time, it’s not just about taste. It’s about reconnecting with one’s roots, sharing stories, and celebrating everything that has made Singapore home.
The Perfect Blend of Past and Present
Tai Cheong Bakery has been delighting food lovers with its signature Hong Kong pastries, most notably its silky egg tarts and buttery bolo buns. This National Day, they’re merging two beloved food cultures into a single experience: Singapore’s classic ice cream bun meets Tai Cheong’s signature baked style. The result is the Raspberry Ice Cream Brrr-lo Bun, a soft, warm, golden bolo bun that houses a cold and creamy scoop of raspberry ice cream.
The beauty of this creation lies in its simplicity and intention. Raspberry may not be a traditional Singaporean flavour, but paired with a bolo bun, it’s familiar enough to evoke that homegrown charm while giving taste buds something fresh and exciting to discover.
Why People Should Try It
1. It’s an Affordable Luxury
Priced at $3.60, it’s hard to find a dessert in Singapore that delivers this much satisfaction at such a low price. It’s an indulgence that doesn’t come with guilt, especially in an era when most café treats easily exceed five dollars.
2. A Limited-Time Offer
This treat is available only from 1 to 9 August 2025, making it a short-lived celebration of flavour and heritage. That sense of urgency adds to its appeal—you either get it now or miss out on a piece of this National Day tribute.
3. Multigenerational Enjoyment
Young or old, anyone can enjoy this. It brings back memories for the older generation and offers something fun and flavourful for the younger ones. For families, it’s a way to introduce kids to a version of the childhood treats their parents once loved.
4. Widely Available Islandwide
Tai Cheong Bakery is not a one-shop affair. With eight conveniently located outlets across Singapore, the Raspberry Ice Cream Brrr-lo Bun is never too far away. Whether one is in the heartlands, town area, or even at the airport, this little piece of nostalgia is within reach.
A Celebration of Local Culture
National Day promotions are often associated with large-scale buffets, flashy packaging, or themed meals. But Tai Cheong Bakery has chosen a different route—focusing instead on the everyday delight that once made Singapore’s street food scene so distinctive.
This Brrr-lo Bun does more than taste good. It carries with it the spirit of neighbourhoods, of grandparents sharing stories at kopi shops, of simple after-school joys. And that’s what makes it perfect for this occasion.
The Flavour Experience
Biting into this dessert, one gets the flaky, warm crust of a well-baked bolo bun giving way to the tart-sweet flavour of raspberry ice cream. It’s texturally interesting—crisp and cold, warm and soft. It’s not just dessert; it’s an experience. And it offers a burst of refreshment for Singapore’s perpetual summer.
A Thoughtful Gift or Shared Snack
Buying one is great. Buying a few to share is even better. These buns make excellent tea-time conversation starters or post-lunch pick-me-ups. For those planning a National Day party or simple home gathering, a box of these could make a quirky and memorable dessert choice. Plus, at $3.60 apiece, they won’t strain the budget.
