Situated next to Los Tacos in Taman Paramount, Chunky has made a name for itself with its American-style cookies. Each bake strikes a balance between a perfectly crisp crust and a decadently gooey interior. Its lineup of flavours is impressive, housing treats that meld raspberry with white chocolate and matcha with s’mores.

One of its bestsellers, however, is its sea salt chocolate chip—a medley of both sweet and savoury. You’ll also find creative takes on chocolate chip cookies here, from s’mores chocolate chip to Nutella chocolate chip.
