Leung Sang HK Pastries—our favourite egg tart shop in Singapore—has opened a second outlet at Bugis Street.

Unlike the original shop at Jalan Membina (opposite of Tiong Bahru Plaza) which is an old-school bakery, the flagship outlet at 247 Victoria Street has a modern decor which looks like a Hong Kong Cha Chaan Teng.

We first discovered Leung Sang HK Pastries years ago in 2007 when it was at its original location at Sago Street in Chinatown. We have been big fans of their Hong Kong-style egg tarts with amazingly buttery flaky pastry ever since.

The egg custard encased in the pastry is of a pastel yellow shade—not the typical rich hue you might see, but what do you know? It is so silky, creamy and sweet! This is hands down one of the best egg tarts you can find in Singapore.

They also have Western-style egg tarts which come in a different shell—the harder kind that tastes more subtle. While it uses the same egg custard filling, we prefer the Hong Kong-style egg tart’s flaky puff pastry.

They moved to Jalan Membina (opposite of Tiong Bahru Plaza) a few years ago and their egg tarts are still as good as before. This old-school looking confectionery may look next to nothing, but their egg tarts are to die for.

Leung Sang HK Pastries’ flagship outlet at 247 Victoria Street has officially opened its door to the public on 24 July 2021.

Other than egg tarts, you can also get other Hong Kong-style pastries including Polo Buns, Lotus Paste w Salted Egg Puff, and Char Siew Sou.

The new location opposite Bugis Junction is definitely more accessible than the original outlet at Jalan Membina and we can definitely see ourselves heading there more often.

When it comes to croissants, French buttery flaky rolls full of crisp goodness springs to mind. Yet, not many bakeries in Singapore do them right — they often end up missing the mark, resulting in overly-soggy and tasteless croissants.

Recently, we have found one hole-in-the-wall bakery near to Bugis that churns out one of the best croissants! Introducing Mother Dough — each labor-intensive pastry sold in their quaint little shop is freshly baked to perfection and well-crafted, ensuring fluffiness and depth of flavours. Not to mention, they are Halal-certified too!

Offering a tantalising array of croissants, sourdough bread, pastries, cakes as well as coffee, this artisanal bakery is best known for its flaky croissants. Ever since it first opened its doors, it has gained popularity amongst both tourists and locals alike, with its baked goods often selling out by late morning.

We opted for their Sourdough Plain Croissant (S$4), and the goodie was crisp, complete with a flaky crust. It had just the right amount of butter, resulting in a non-greasy croissant that was both light and airy.

When we bit into it, it broke apart easily, revealing fluttery, paper-thin layers and a dense middle chock full of buttery goodness. This is the croissant to go for if you prefer having your pastries plain! It is also best paired with a cup of joe.

Our personal bias is their Almond Chocolate Croissant (S$5.20) that is flecked with a generous topping of almonds. The croissant is well toasted with a slight char, lacing the pastry with subtle nutty notes.

It also encased airy, flaky layers consisting of thick, gooey chocolate and frangipane cream, and sprinkled with cinnamon. Though crisp on the outside, it had a chewy, soft middle that melted in our mouths, oozing a sweet mixture of both cream and chocolate.

The Iced Latte (S$6) was aromatic, smooth and not acidic. It was also well-balanced with both slightly bitter and sweet accents.

If you are looking for tasty pastries, do visit Mother Dough; their yummy baked goods will be sure to make your day!
