I have never heard of the place until my pal showed me yesterday. Tan Hock Seng is really a gem hidden along Pekin Street selling traditional chinese pastries.
Perhaps one of the oldest shop there, Tan Hock Seng has already over 70 years of history yet still maintaining its old school style of shop interior and old-fashioned way of arranging goods, reusing its carton boxes as storage boxes with hand written signage indicating the items. They have a variety of pastries like Beh Teh Sor, Tau Sar Piah, green bean cake, white cake and many other Hokkien pastries that I had never come across. I'm amazed. Perhaps such confectioneries are at risk of extinction in the next generation if such legacy is not being pass on to the younger generations.
One of the interesting finds I saw was its "老妈糕 Lao Ma Gao". In a box of 4, doughy texture with flour coating, it somehow gave a very familiar fragrance which is too hard for us to recall its resemblance.
