Agar agar is a jelly set with a seaweed-based gelling agent rather than gelatine, and it is popular in Singapore and Malaysia for desserts, often layered or moulded into decorative shapes. A good agar agar cake has a clean, firm set that still feels soft, with clear colours and flavours such as pandan, coconut or fruit that taste of the real ingredient rather than only sugar. Because agar agar is a chilled dessert, it is best kept in the fridge and eaten soon after buying, and decorative or custom pieces usually need to be ordered a few days ahead. Ask how long a piece keeps and how to carry it home in Singapore's heat. Agar agar is vegetarian, but some cakes combine it with dairy or egg layers, so mention allergies when you order. A second-floor unit in a plaza may be less visible, so confirm the entrance and opening arrangements.
For anyone along Bukit Timah Road, Food Mapping is a very highly rated place to ask about jell
