Just beside the “old-school” Love confectionery at Alexander Village which I just recommended, there’s another one by the name of Chinatown Tai Chong Kok Confectionery, which is also similarly traditional.
Egg cupcake ($1 for 3 small one)
I’m a devotee after just one bite of their egg cupcake. Soft, light, and fluffy, the egg cupcakes are really very good. And 3 for one dollar is cheap okay! I can easily finish half a dozen on my own. Gosh, i’m going to get more of them the next time.
Egg cupcake with red bean fillings ($1 for 1 big)
There’s also the bigger egg cup cake, which had red bean paste fillings at the bottom. But i was rather disappointed with it because there wasn’t anything special with the red bean paste, and the filling was just a little. I’ll think that three small ones are more than a big one, so take the 3 small one for a dollar instead.
Red bean biscuit
Their red bean biscuit was also worth the try, crispy pastry skin with generous fillings of the red bean paste.
Egg tart
Initially i was unsure about the egg tart because it didn’t seem to be very nice. But boy I had to take back my words after eating it. The egg custard was those watery kind, smooth and eggy!

i heard their mooncakes are pretty popular too, if i remember correctly. the egg tarts look good, i think i must grab some when i’m there. sidetrack abit, there’s one stall selling fish porridge/raw fish slice inside the alexandra village hawker centre which is quite famous. i queued so long for it, and its really good lah. hv u tried b4?
oh as for the macro lens, currently u not using one rite? but seems like some pics u took are really well taken leh, has the macro feel…like the ones u took in obolo oso very nice! so i think w/o macro lens u can also take nice pics lah. just that i think its a pretty gd investment, since u take food pics so often. i never regret one bit, coz i totally lurrve the blur background aka. shallow depth-of-field.
orite, keep more “old skool-ness” coming! hehe.
