Haig Road Putu Piring at East Village brings the authentic taste of Singapore's most celebrated traditional Malay dessert to the eastern region, representing a branch of the world-famous establishment that has been creating bite-sized chunks of happiness since 1985 and gained international recognition through its feature on Netflix's "Street Food Asia" series. Founded by a family recipe dating back to the 1930s and currently operated by Nooraisha Hashim who inherited the putu piring recipe from her great-great-grandmother, this beloved establishment has become synonymous with authentic putu piring preparation that honors traditional cooking methods while serving Singapore's diverse community with genuine cultural heritage foods. The East Village location provides convenient access to these Michelin-recommended handmade traditional steamed rice cakes for residents throughout the Bedok area who appreciate the opportunity to experience authentic Malay kueh craftsmanship without traveling to the original Geylang or Haig Road flagship locations, while maintaining the same exacting standards of quality, authenticity, and taste that have made this humble dessert a global sensation.
The signature putu piring at this East Village outlet features the same time-honored preparation methods that require ground rice flour to be sieved, steamed, and dried repeatedly over two days before being filled with first-grade pure palm sugar (gula melaka) and steamed in metal conical molds for precisely five minutes to achieve the perfect texture and flavor balance. The original Gula Melaka Putu Piring ($4 for four pieces) remains the most popular offering, served with lightly salted grated coconut that provides the perfect textural and flavor contrast to the sweet palm sugar filling that melts during the steaming process and oozes out when bitten, creating the distinctive taste experience that has captivated food lovers worldwide. Additional flavors including Brown Coconut, Chocolate, and Durian cater to diverse taste preferences while maintaining the traditional preparation techniques and quality standards, while the freshly grated coconut topping adds the essential salty element that balances the sweetness and provides authentic flavor complexity that defines this beloved traditional dessert.
As one of seven outlets operating across Singapore, including prestigious locations at Jewel Changi and Northpoint, the East Village Haig Road Putu Piring location ensures that this Netflix-featured, Michelin-recommended traditional dessert remains accessible to customers throughout Singapore's eastern region who seek authentic cultural food experiences. The outlet offers both pickup services for immediate consumption when the putu piring are at their optimal hot temperature, alongside islandwide delivery services that bring these traditional treats directly to homes and offices throughout Singapore, ensuring that busy customers can still enjoy authentic Malay kueh without compromising their schedules. Whether seeking a nostalgic taste of traditional Singapore street food, introducing friends and family to authentic Malay desserts, exploring the cultural significance of traditional kueh preparation, or simply craving the unique combination of sweet gula melaka and salty coconut that defines perfect putu piring, this East Village location delivers the same exceptional quality, authentic preparation methods, and cultural heritage that have made Haig Road Putu Piring a beloved institution representing Singapore's rich multicultural food traditions and the artisanal dedication required to preserve authentic flavors for future generations.

It is a take away only stall in East Point. Brought 4 original putu piring for $3.50, which is quite pricey. Came will lots of coconut shaving and tasted good when still hot and warm. After 3 hours, taste quality dropped a lot.

Putu piring at this branch is nice and tasty. Often there is a queue for this snack especially during lunch time. The people here are friendly and polite.
