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

The original egg tart here costs $1.40, a tad expensive for a takeaway place (there are a few tables and chairs though) but absolutely worth it. It's not even expensive for a nice treat.
I'd never say no to soft, smooth egg custard. Especially when it's served warm and made even more delicious when coupled with a thin pastry base for contrast. And oh, the custard to pastry ratio here really hit the spot too!
Note that the egg tarts are best eaten when they are just out of the oven, when the pastry is still crisp, flaky and light. When left out for a while, the pastry becomes somewhat like a biscuit crust. The custard is also slurpaliciously (is there such a word?) wobbly when they're freshly baked!
Tong Heng's egg cake is also a hot favorite. However, I don't quite fancy the variant of egg cake sold here. I'll save my stomach for more egg tarts!
