Overnight Oven | @overnightoven
Baklavas are traditionally filled or layered with some sort of chopped-nut topping (usually pistachio), but these ones from local home-based baker Overnight Oven come with unique flavors. For this year’s Hari Raya, you can get Tapak Kuda Pandan Hazella, which pairs the quintessential festive cake with Overnight Oven’s own filo pastry. Yum.

Keedo Keedo sells these Italian / New Yorker sweets called the sfogiatelle – or you can call them lobster tail pastries, for their lobster-like shape. With the crumbly shell comes a sweet filling of your choice. Order a mixed box to taste them all, but we’d advise you to get more of their signature French vanilla lobster tails. The hint of maple makes the dessert taste just the right amount of roasted and nutty.
Keedo Keedo is not halal-certified, but does not use pork or lard in their ingredients.

If you want to get the whole family involved in a cheeky DIY food fiesta, order in some grill must-haves from BBQ Wholesale, which stocks everything important you’ll need to get the fire going. Certain packages also will include otah, chicken satay, chicken wings, and staples like mee hoon.

House of Samosas | @houseofsamosas
