Dona Manis Cake Shop has a pop-up booth at Takashimaya until Oct 14
A slice of original banana pie here costs S$5.50 (two for S$10/ S$40 for a whole pie). The same pie at the Katong shop goes for S$3.50 a slice (S$33 whole). Each pie yields eight to 10 pieces, though Dona Manis’ staff told us that the individual slices are “cut bigger” at Takashimaya. Well, we suppose that’s the premium to pay for not having to travel all the way to Katong for our banana pie craving.
Dona Manis Cake Shop’s pop-up runs daily from Oct 1 to 14, 10am-9.30pm, at B2 Takashimaya Food Hall, 391 Orchard Road, Singapore 238872.
