Why are your lapis so expensive?

Each slice of our kueh lapis embodies the essence of luxury, meticulously crafted to perfection and elevating your nostalgic moments to pure bliss. Here's why:

  1. Small Batch Production: We meticulously craft our cakes in small quantities to ensure unparalleled quality and attention to detail.
  2. Premium Ingredients: We source our ingredients at retail prices, prioritizing quality over cost, and refrain from bulk purchasing to maintain freshness and excellence.
  3. Time-Intensive Process: Each cake undergoes a meticulous process, taking three hours to ensure perfection in every layer.
  4. Quality over Quantity: Unlike mass-produced cakes, we prioritize quality over quantity, never compromising on craftsmanship to meet sales targets.
  5. Adaptation to Market Changes: Post-COVID, ingredient prices have surged, necessitating adjustments in our pricing to sustain our commitment to excellence.
  6. Rising Delivery Costs: Initially absorbing delivery costs, we observed a significant impact on our margins due to the escalating expenses in delivering perishable items. Perishable goods require same-day/express delivery, incurring higher costs compared to next-day delivery for non-perishable items.

Why don't you always pick up the phone?
