What pops into your head when you hear the words ‘bento cake’? If your first thought is Japanese lunchbox fare like rice, vegetables, and meat used as ingredients for a cake, that’s a fair assumption to make. But bento cakes actually refer to mini cakes that are typically only big enough to feed two to three people.
As the word ‘bento’ translates to convenient or convenience in English, bento cakes come in handy if you’re planning on hosting a modest affair with a small group of people. These mini desserts founded in South Korea are also convenient for lugging around as they are so small and light. Interested in trying one? Here are the best places to get Korean bento cakes in Singapore.
