Not another Dubai Chocolate trend…
Dubai Chewy Cookies are officially the new obsession in Singapore. Think about the dubai chocolate bar from two years back, but this is a creamier, chewier, and arguably more addictive variant.
But, it’s not new!
This dessert has always existed in South Korea’s, also known as “Dujjonku”. It was only recently popularised when Jang Won-young, a member of K-pop girl group IVE, posted photos of the dessert online last year.
Here is where you can find these viral treats in Singapore this February:

Actually Dubai Chewy Cookies

Sweedy Patisserie has always outdone their desserts — who can forget their fatcarons and mochi cakes.

2. Two Bake Boys
You would’ve expected it, considering they’ve already launched two kunafa-inspired desserts last year: Pistachio Kunafa Banana Pudding ($13), and Pistachio Kunafa Log Cake ($68).
At $15.8 for a box of 2, Two Bake Boy’s Dubai Chewy Cookies feature a thick, cocoa-rich dough with a mochi-like, stretchy pull that holds a generous molten center of crunchy, nutty goodness.

3. Yoajung Singapore
This was originally the trendiest topping in their Seoul headquarter, and it’s finally made its way to Singapore this month.
Yoajung, the popular frozen yogurt store from South Korea, has finally added the Dubai Chewy Cookie on their toppings list. But, they’ve added their own twist, replacing the usual marshmallow with mochi!
Their Dubai Chewy Cookie is available in two flavours — Pistachio and Biscoff ($5 each)!

5. Turkish Dream at Soft Spot Acai
For those who want the Dubai Chocolate experience without the heavy guilt, a frozen yogurt variation might be the answer!
Turkish Dream ($11.5) at Soft Spot Acai features a crunchy pistachio feulletine, and kataifi strands. It’s rich, sweet, and has an extra crunch as the frozen yogurt base cools it down — without feeling too sinful!

Opening hours:
Mon-Fri: 10am-9pm
Sat-Sun: 9am-9pm
6. Dubai Chocolate Cheesecake at Queic by Olivia
If you want the Dubai flavor but in a more luxurious, creamy format, this is the one. Queic has taken their legendary cheesecake expertise and created a Dubai Chocolate Cheesecake that features a cacao almond sablé crust, a layer of their signature 100% pistachio paste, toasted kataifi, and a 70% dark chocolate cheesecake topping. February is the time to go because this is currently exclusive to their Jewel outlet, making it the perfect “welcome to Singapore” or “pre-flight” indulgence. It’s a sophisticated re-imagining of a TikTok trend that actually lives up to the high standards of a specialty patisserie.
Location: Multiple locations
7. Pistachio Kunafe Cookie at Nasty Cookie
This is the undisputed heavyweight champion for anyone who wants a “chunky” NYC-style experience. Nasty Cookie doesn’t do subtle; their Pistachio Kunafe cookie is a massive, buttery dark chocolate beast filled with an incredibly loud, ASMR-worthy crunch of toasted kunafa and rich pistachio cream. February is a great time to visit because they often release seasonal bundles that let you mix and match this viral star with their other classic flavors. It’s the most “substantial” cookie on this list, making it perfect for a “treat yourself” moment after a long day of shopping in Orchard.
Location: Orchard Gateway, #B2-10, 277 Orchard Rd, Singapore 238858
Opening hours: Daily, 12:30 PM–09:30 PM
