As the border between Singapore and Malaysia remains closed, we're sure that Singaporeans are missing their favourite dishes and treats from across the Causeway.

P.S. Already dreaming about what you're going to eat in JB once the borders reopen? Here are the top 11 halal eateries in Johor Bahru to help you plan ahead!
BUELAN is a Muslim-owned home-based bakery that specialises in classic banana cakes. Their menu consists of just 2 items - the Bulan (a classic banana cake) and the Twilight (classic banana cake with added choco callets). The cakes come in 6" or 8" sizes and range between $15-$35. The cakes are perfect for sharing with family and friends - time to invite your BFFs over for afternoon tea! ?
Fans describe the cake as moist yet fluffy, with a strong banana taste throughout - exactly what you want from good banana cake! ? There are even whole slices of caramelised banana added to the top for some extra richness and sweetness.
Chocolate lovers definitely need to give the Twilight a try. Chocolate and bananas are a classic pairing, and the Twilight comes with a layer of dark chocolate at the bottom and an assortment of chocolate chips throughout to give every bite a decadent chocolate-y flavour. ? Paired with the fluffy banana top, it strikes a balance that will keep you coming back for more!
