Our Story

Throughout the years, we protected recipes passed down the generations of families, and have poured ourselves into the art and science of our heritage craft. We believe in quality ingredients and beautiful products made with love. All our confectionaries are freshly handmade in Singapore, and do not contain any artificial preservatives. Each piece is made with the finest ingredients to give you the quality that these timeless treats deserve.

From beautiful, individually handcrafted Nonya Kuehs to sweet and savoury bite-sized treats, and cakes made with enduring tradition, Rainbow Lapis exists to preserve and celebrate the Heritage Delicacies of Singapore.

It is our pleasure to share them with you. Enjoy.

Love,

Rainbow Lapis

Our retail section began in 1998, as an extension of Cooking Art – Singapore’s first professional culinary school, which opened in the 1980s. The school gathered various talented chefs worldwide to teach its curricula, including esteemed Chefs Nicholas Lodge and Baba Jolly Wee.

Founder Esther-Kim Sim pondered a way to cultivate appreciation of the intrinsic kueh-making craft, as well as local cuisine featuring the flavours of the region. Eventually, Rainbow Lapis was conceived.

Armed with a mission to preserve and celebrate the Heritage Delicacies of Singapore, Rainbow Lapis is a devoted ambassador – often, incorporating regional flavours in its innovations.

It is our dream to inspire the local community to take pride in our heritage, and we hope to nurture a worldwide appreciation of the kueh-making craft.
