This place has killed all other egg tarts for me. I've been coming here since I was a tot, and seen various outlets appear in malls and then die a torturous death. Whenever I pass by, I have to pick up some. It's not me, it's the the siren song of these tarty things. The auntie will always ask "How many you want?" and I'll go "However many can go into a box. Squeezy also never mind".Prices have gone up significantly over the years but the standard is just as good. Tip for the uninitiated - these

My mother came back from a meeting at Chinatown, she bought back the delicious Tong Heng Egg Tarts. Too bad I ate a too hearty dinner so I could not stomach them for supper and had to keep them for breakfast. Despite keeping the egg tarts overnight, the egg tarts tasted so good. the pastry did become a little soft but the buttery fragrance still remained there. The custard of the egg tart is not too sweet, very smooth and goes well with the pastry. It was very satisfying.

Tong Heng egg tarts are famed to be one of the best egg tarts and I can understand why it is so when I tried them yesterday. Their egg tarts are in a signature diamond shape with a wobbly crust. The crust is more towards the flaky crust even though it is not strictly so, since flaky crust egg tarts are enveloped in many layers but Tong Heng’s egg tarts are not really layered. Regardless, it is still very tasty because the crust is thin and flaky and with each bite, I could taste more of the smoo

This 1920s shop specialised in egg tarts, traditional wedding cake, wife cake and traditional Chinese pastry. I stopped by to have a snack and bought one of the curry puff. The curry puff is not the usual type but a baked version with spicy and sweet curry chicken and boiled egg. It is like Japaneses curry chicken wrapped in a baked pastry. The taste is quite good if you do not mind that it is sweeter.I was surprise to see they also see a range of hot traditional dessert, like Almond Paste, Blac

Some said this could be one of the best curry puff in Singapore. I tried based on their recommendation but could not quite agree after trying. The crust tasted different, it did not have flaky texture like most curry puffs. It tasted a bit towards the short crust pasty that have got a slight buttery taste. The curry potato filling is towards the mixture of the japanese curry and indian curry. I do not quite appreciate such a flavor and this is not really my kind of curry puff.

Heard of this famous heritage brand from many people and decided to give it a try since I was in Chinatown. Each egg tart costs around $1.50 and is one of its selling pastries. The egg tart is generally pleasing though slightly oily but still nice as the egg custard is soft and melts in the mouth. Other than the egg tarts, I also decided to try the red bean pastries and char siew su. The red bean pastries was a little too sweet for me but it tasted well with the sesame and well baked. The char s

The Best Egg Tarts ever! I have been patronizing this shop for years, since i was young. It is a must go whenever you are in Chinatown. This shop sells the nicest eggs tarts which it is also famous for. The crust is in a uniquely diamond shape, and it is crisp and light to taste. The egg is also very soft and the sweetness is just right.The only downside is that the price has been increasing through the years, used to be $1, but now it has risen to $1.40. But still its taste and size has remaine

That’s 100 years of history in Singapore.There are two main Chinese pastries in Chinatown, both with their own distinct taste but I prefer Tong Heng. I’ve tried almost everything there including the Chinese desserts.Over the years, I’ve tried most of their products, even their Chinese desserts. (Bet you didn’t know they s

Brought some Egg Tart and Lao Po Biscuit to try. The egg tart was well made and cooked with a soft and smooth egg custard and also a bit milky taste. Although the skin was a bit soft, but the overall taste of the egg tart was good and was different from the other egg tart that is sold outside. As for the lao po biscuit, it has a crispy skin with a layer of melon in between. It has a light melon taste, chewy texture and a good combination. Overall a very good shop that offers traditional chinese

Tong Heng has been around for a long time. It is very well known for it's traditional pastries.The most popular is the egg tart which taste very good. The crust is not too hard and the custard is very soft. The century egg pastry is also very nice, the crust is very fragrant and the century egg filling is very nice.

This is my only choice when i do not have access to the egg tarts from Tai Cheong Bakery in Hong Kong. This is the closet possible i could find in Singapore in comparable to those delicious egg tarts from Tai Cheong's. Whenever i have gotten a craving then i would come here for a quick fix. I have not been here for a while and they still tasted amazingly good. The crust is always thin and flaky together with the soft and smooth egg custard. And just 1 egg tart is never enough for me, i need at l

It was a Sunday afternoon that i was recalled to go back to go back camp to do some system configuration. After my work, i called my wife to find out where she is. She told me that she was chinatown point. I drove straight down to chinatown point to meet up with her. When i reached chinatown,it was already 6pm. I recalled that there is a traditional cantonese pastries called Tong Heng that is around the corner. I decided to stop by to buy a box of egg tart back for my family. One Box cost only $

A craving for egg tarts hit me one morning. Desperate, I gave the one from my school canteen's drink stall a try, which (expectedly) fell short of my expectations.No more risk-taking this time round- I went to Tong Heng to get my fix. Coincidentally, the shop, located along South Bridge Road, is just a very short walk away from dear K Ki and the popular Maxwell Food Centre. The original egg tart here costs $1.40, a tad expensive for a takeaway place (there are a few tables and chairs though) but
