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.

Whether you like the flaky puff pastry egg tart or the butter cookie egg tart, freshly-baked egg tarts are instant gratification.

From the famous Tong Heng’s iconic diamond-shaped egg tart, to Honolulu Cafe’s flaky egg tart, we are lucky that there are plenty of places that offer really good egg tarts in Singapore.

Here is our guide to the best egg tarts you can find in Singapore.

BALMORAL BAKERY

One of the oldest bakeries in Singapore, Balmoral Bakery has been dishing out its baked goods to its loyal customers since 1965. The egg tarts from Balmoral Bakery have a custard that is slightly runnier but a relatively firm crust. And before you go all the way to Sunset Way, do note that the egg tarts are only available on weekends and Public Holidays.

Price: S$1.40 for an egg tart

FLASH BAKES

Flash Bakes is a home-based business which is known for its thin crust egg tarts and they are available in the following flavours: original, pandan, coffee and Ondeh Ondeh.

The crust is so thin and buttery, and the egg custard is smooth, creamery and very eggy. We loved the consistency of the custard and how it isn’t cloyingly sweet. The pandan tart comes with a fragrant and creamy filling, while the Ondeh Ondeh tart features a decadent gula Melaka coconut filling topped with toasted coconut flakes.

HONOLULU CAFE

No trip to Honolulu Café—the famous cha chaan teng from Hong Kong— is complete until you try their signature Honolulu Egg Tarts. Each palm-size flaky pastry encases to-die-for sweet soft egg custard; the dough had been frozen overnight and folded into many layers to achieve a crisp shell. This is definitely one of the best egg tarts you can get in Singapore.

Price: S$1.70 for an egg tart.

LEUNG SANG HONG KONG PASTRIES

We first had the egg tarts from Leung Sang Hong Kong Pastries back in 2007, and we have been fans of it ever since. The confectionery used to be on Sago Street—inconspicuous and hard to locate. But the ones in the know make it there anyway. Today, they sit on Jalan Membina, opposite Tiong Bahru Plaza.

Leung Sang Hong Kong Pastries’ amazingly buttery flaky egg tarts are incredibly addictive. The egg custard boasts a distinct pastel yellow shade and is creamy, silky and sweet. Hands down one of the best egg tarts you can find in Singapore.

MADELEINE’S ORIGINAL PORTUGUESE EGG TARTS

Madeleine’s Original Portuguese Egg Tart is an old-school shop at 198 Tanjong Katong Road which has been selling its signature Portuguese egg tarts since 1998. They make the egg tarts from scratch daily and you can look forward to flaky puff pasty tarts and rich custard with a burnt caramelised top.

They sell 1 Portuguese egg tart at S$2.20 or you can get 3 mini egg tarts at S$3.30. There are not many of such traditional bakeries left in Singapore, drop by to get some egg tarts when you are dining at one of the restaurants along Tanjong Katong Road.

RED STAR RESTAURANT

A highly celebrated stalwart in the Chinese dim sum scene here in Singapore, Red Star Restaurant is one that needs no introduction.

Their Egg Tart (S$4.50) is one of the fastest items to go. The egg custard is velvety and boasts a sweet, fragrant vanilla note and the crust that holds it all together is a delicate pastry that flakes upon the lightest touch.

SONG GARDEN

As far as egg tarts go, it is more than just the yellowish custard that defines a really good one. The short-crust pastry that encases it is just as important—if not, more. Here at Song Garden, the Mini Egg Tarts are far better than your traditional flaky egg tarts. Buttery, crumbly and filled with a luscious egg filling, each bite will transport you to heaven.

What we particularly loved about Song Garden’s egg tarts was the fact that it was small enough to eat in one bite, which for one, does away with the nuisance of crumbs falling everywhere, and allows you to taste every single component at one go.

Price: S$4.20++ for 3 pieces of egg tarts

TAI CHEONG BAKERY

Hailing from Hong Kong, Tai Cheong Bakery is a reputable institution in Hong Kong with 14 outlets across the city. Tai Cheong Bakery has been serving irresistibly tasty egg tarts for over half a century.

Tai Cheong Bakery’s glorious egg tarts boast a consistently smooth texture and a glossy sheen. Instead of the ubiquitous flaky short-crust pastry, Tai Cheong Bakery uses a buttery cookie-like crust as the base instead. These crisp shells are currently pre-made at a factory before they are baked and filled in-house.

Singapore is known to be a paradise for foodies due to the plethora of cuisines available and we’re proud to call this place home. Traditional snacks tend to get overshadowed by more popular foods but there’s something about them being so simple that we love.

Old is gold; these snacks are comforting and really brings us back to our younger days. Here are 8 traditional snacks that we love and will definitely make you nostalgic.

#1 EGG TARTS

Buttery and crispy on the outside and smooth eggy custard on the inside, you can find this delectable snack at most old-school bakeries. Some prefer a flaky crust, some prefer a more solid crust and some prefer bite-sized ones, some prefer larger ones. But we can all agree that egg tarts are best eaten when popped in the oven and served warm.

#2 KAYA TOAST

A local breakfast favourite, something about traditional bread toasted to perfection with a layer of kaya and a thick slice of butter just makes it so satisfying. It’s phenomenal when dipped in half-boiled eggs. Sweet and salty, you really can’t go wrong with this combination. Name a more iconic duo, we’ll wait.

#3 MIN CHIANG KUEH

Hokkien for peanut pancakes, sink your teeth into these Chinese-style pancakes that are crispy yet fluffy and generously filled with crushed peanuts and sugar. Some stalls also do a thinner and crispier version that is equally as tasty. For the busy bees, min chiang kueh is a popular option for breakfast on the go.

#4 NONYA KUEH

These bite-sized Peranakan treats – affectionately known as nonya kueh – are a staple in Peranakan cuisine. Popular with all generations, most kuehs have a chewy texture and contain coconut, pandan or gula melaka. Our favourite kueh growing up has undoubtedly got to be kueh lapis. Probably the most colourful kueh, it was and still is a joy peeling and eating this layer by layer.

#5 POPIAH

“Thin pancake” in Teochew, popiah is enjoyed by many. Stewed vegetables, egg, prawns, peanuts are wrapped in paper-thin skin that slathered with some garlic paste and sweet sauce. What you get is a humble and not to mention affordable traditional snack that is filling enough to make a meal.

#6 PUTU PIRING

We can’t get enough of these handmade Malay snacks that were featured in the Singapore episode of Netflix’s Street Food. Essentially steamed rice flour cakes, these warm pillowy treats ooze with gula melaka and are topped with loads of shredded coconut. This is one traditional snack that is loved by both adults and children alike.

#7 TEOCHEW KUEH

Contrary to nonya kueh which tends to be sweet, Teochew kueh such as png kueh, soon kueh and chwee kueh is savoury and equally as yummy. Packed with a generous amount of various vegetables and encased in thin, chewy rice skin, there are still several stalls specializing in these traditional snacks.

#8 YOU TIAO

This classic breakfast staple is a good example of less is more. Simply stretched dough sticks that are deep fried till golden brown, it’s crispy on the outside but airy and chewy on the inside. There’s nothing better than you tiao fresh out of the fryer and a cup of kopi or soybean milk to start the day.

So there’s a running joke that Asians have bubble tea running through their veins than blood, and there’s no denying that we do absolutely love our bubble tea.

From regular milk tea to cheese tea to fruit tea, with a variety of pearls, we love them all, and yet we still can’t seem to get enough, if it wasn’t already evident enough from the magnitude of bubble tea shops popping up all over the place.

Here some people have gone the extra mile to plate up bubble tea in ways we’ve never considered before. Genius or insane? We find out.

BUNS

We don’t suppose it requires much more of a description once you’ve seen the image. It’s an earl grey tea-infused fluffy dough bun filled with earl grey tea-infused cream and the classic chewy tapioca balls.

CHOCOLATE MALT TOAST

For slightly more, you can also get a Chocolate Malt Bubble Tea Toast. Kind of a cross between Horlicks and Milo in the form of a Nutella spread, it oozes nothing but sweet decadence with a pop of surprise in each bite.

DORAYAKI

If you grew up watching Doraemon, you’d know his absolute favourite snack would be dorayaki, a Japanese pancake stuffed with fillings such as Azuki paste. Over in Taiwan, you’d find a stall called Quolofune selling Pearl Milk Tea Nama Dorayaki apart from regular dorayaki flavours. It’s a winning combination of sweet black sugar tapioca and freshly whipped soft cream.

Photo Credit: Nini

EGG TARTS

We’ve had chocolate egg tarts, passion fruit egg tarts, so why not bubble tea egg tarts? We don’t just mean tossing a spoonful of tapioca on top of a regular Portuguese egg tart though. Found inside a train station at Liang Liang Hao, they serve up hot pockets of eggy goodness with tapiocas almost all but melting into the egg mixture.

Photo Credit: Nini

PANCAKES

Combine a Japanese’s fluffy souffle-style pancake with tapioca pearls and you’ll get a dish that looks like someone plucked it straight out of your mid-day office daydreams. Described as a lovely mesh of milk tea-infused cream with black sugar pearls atop the fluffiest, airiest pancake ever that even guys would enjoy as it’s not overly sweet.

Photo Credit: Nini

PANCAKES..?

Before you question why pancake appears twice (maybe thrice, if you consider Dorayaki one too), there are so many different types of pancakes served with tapioca we couldn’t help but give them their own individual spotlight.

PIZZA

Regardless of whether you think pineapple belongs on pizza, this might be enough to spark a new debate. While the idea of chewy black sugar balls in a bed of melted cheese and crust might seem sacrilegious since dessert pizzas are already a thing, what’s there to lose with tapioca on pizza?

Photo Credit: Shopaholicdeb

ROLL

Another creation by our very own Breadtalk is their Earl Grey Bubble Tea Roll to wrap up their Taste of Taiwan release. The same earl grey tea-infused cream and tapioca are wrapped within a light and airy Swiss sponge cake with little flecks of tea leaves added to the mix. It’s sure to make everyone say “wow” when you bring it to the table.

SOFT SERVE

You’ve probably also already heard by now that TP Tea sells their signature soft serve with tapioca as toppings. You can expect a satisfying creamy bite of milk tea in the form of ice cream that contrasts perfectly with the thick chewy tapioca pearls.

TOAST

Picture two slices of crispy bread with chewy tapioca pearls stuffed in the middle, drizzled in a sauce of your choice. Sounds crazy? You’ll be surprised to know that some people love it.

There are many versions of egg tarts across the world, but the rendition that resonates best with us Singaporeans would probably be the Hong Kong-style egg tart. These rich and creamy egg custards encased within flaky, buttery pastry shells are mad delicious and best eaten lukewarm.

It is something that can be eaten for breakfast, as a midday snack, or even supper. We are always up for a good egg tart.

From Honolulu, Tong Heng Confectionery to Leung Sang Hong Kong Pastries, here is our guide to the 8 Best Egg Tarts in Singapore that are worth all the damn calories.

#1 CANTON PARADISE

Canton Paradise’s mini egg tarts (S$4.20 for three) are delightfully light and is one dish we would always order when we dine in the casual restaurant. We love how well its soft, velvety custard complements the crispy, flaky pastry.

Egg tarts are aplenty in Singapore, but real good ones are rare like eclipse.

There are a few types of egg tarts and we too have our preference. The ones that tug our heartstrings are the Hong Kong-style ones with flaky pastry and sweet egg custard filling. Now, those are pretty rare in Singapore, unless you go to a dim sum restaurant – which can be expensive.

Know where we always go to when we need our Hong Kong-style egg tart fix? We are about to let you in on one of the hugest secrets.

Leung Sang Hong Kong Pastries at Tiong Bahru is Heaven on Earth. Upon stepping in, you would be greeted by the aroma of fresh bakes and everything wonderful. This old-school looking confectionery may look next to nothing, but their egg tarts are to die for.

We first had the egg tarts from Leung Sang Hong Kong Pastries back in 2007, and we have been fans of it ever since. The confectionery used to be on Sago Street – inconspicuous and hard to locate. But the ones in the know make it there anyway.

Today, they sit on Jalan Membina, and everything else remains unchanged. People often talk about how change is the only constant in life, but we say the only constant at Leung Sang Hong Kong is the amazingly buttery flaky pastry that is so addictive with every bite.

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.

Other pastries that are baked in-house and sold at Leung Sang Hong Kong Pastries include Roasted Chicken Pastry, Polo Buns, Lotus Seed Century Egg Pastry and Mushroom Chicken Pie.

Each pastry costs S$1.30, and if you buy 10 pastries, you get one pastry of your choice for free.

Hong Kong’s famous cha chaan teng Honolulu Cafe is opening in Singapore! Famous for its egg tarts with flaky pastry, it will open a 1,500 sq ft restaurant with 50 seats at The CentrePoint in Orchard Road at the end of April 2016. We will go out on a limb to say that Honolulu Cafe has the best egg tarts in Hong Kong.

Over the past years, we have seen several openings of successful Hong Kong food brands in Singapore.

Honolulu Cafe is a franchise brought in by a new company set up by Mr Lee Yuen Yong – the managing director of F&B company Asia Gourmet. For those who are unfamiliar with the name, it is the same company that brought in wonton noodle specialist Mak’s Noodle from Hong Kong. Unsurprisingly, it is opening Honululu Cafe at CentrePoint where Mak’s Noodle first debuted.

Here’s some background knowledge about Honolulu Cafe – it was founded in the 1940s by the late Mr Yeung Jin Hei. The cafe started out by selling Hong Kong-style coffee, tea and baked goods.

But over the past 20 years, it has gradually expanded its menu and added more dishes, and today you can find everything from noodle dishes to sandwiches, baked pastries and rice dishes. Honolulu Cafe in Hong Kong is now a full-fledge cha chaan teng, and whenever we are in the city, we find ourselves returning to Honolulu Cafe again and again for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

It currently has three shops in Beijing and one in Shanghai. Honolulu Cafe in Singapore will be its fifth overseas outlet and it will serve freshly baked egg tarts (S$1.70 each), along with the Hong Kong classic dishes such as macaroni noodle dishes and weekly specials.

And of course, when Honolulu Cafe hits our shores, the egg tart is what you must try, for it was what made Honolulu Cafe so famous today. Its signature flaky tarts boast a very buttery and mildly sweet light-coloured pastry shell, filled with a center of smooth, creamy egg custard.

Other than the amazing egg tarts, you should also save room for their Pineapple Buns (Bo Luo Bao).

We are the biggest fans of Honolulu Cafe and everyone knows that by now, so you bet we are most excited about their arrival in Singapore!

With Tai Cheong Bakery and Honolulu Cafe set to enter the Singapore market, would we see a new egg tart craze this year in 2016? We cannot wait to find out.

For more recommendations, read our guide to the top 11 Cha Chaan Teng in Hong Kong.

Tai Cheong Bakery will be opening its first outlet in Singapore at the basement of Takashimaya on 27 June 2016.  

Tai Cheong is an institution in Hong Kong, and its egg tarts are well-loved by people from all around the globe. Egg tart is one of the must-try local food in Hong Kong, and we are extremely delighted to know that Tai Cheong Bakery’s egg tarts are going to be so accessible for us soon!

While Tai Cheong Bakery has 14 branches in Hong Kong, both locals and tourists alike still flock to the main store along Lyndhurst Terrace in Central to pick up their bakes.

Tai Cheong Bakery’s outpost in Singapore will be a joint venture with Food People – a company by Mr Wei Chan – the managing director of The Pine Garden Bakery – and Mr Han Jin Juan of Palm Beach Seafood Restaurant.

Other than the much-lauded egg tarts, the old school bakery will also be selling pineapple buns (bolo buns), doughnuts, egg rolls, pastries and local cha chaan teng dishes. Much to anticipate; that goes without saying.

Tai Cheong Bakery’s egg tarts are priced at S$7.60 for a box of 4.

For more recommendations, read our guide on the best food places in Hong Kong.

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.

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!

Balmoral Bakery is a very old-school bakery which is evident from the box they use for their bakes. Located at Sunset way, the bakery offers the type of breads and pastries which we grow up together with, but sadly are slowly disappearing from our sight.

Under the “undue” influence of my secret food partner, we jogged from our place to Sunset way, and pay the bakery a visit. She introduced me to Balmoral Bakery as she has been munching on their breads since young.

Egg tart ($1)

The egg tart at Balmoral is those ‘watery’ type, my secret food partner love this type of egg tart, but i prefer those with crusty sides and firmer egg-fillings.

Custard Buns ($1.1)

The custard buns are the star of the show! Billed as Balmoral Bakery’s signature item, the custard buns are really excellent! There are other customers who brought half a dozen or more at a go. Must try!!

Cake ($1)

The cake is the very traditional type where you can only get at such bakeries, nowadays seldom do we still see such cakes around, well maybe if your neighbor still has such old-school bakeries around.

Char-siew Sau ($1)

The char-siew sau is cripsy and the char siew inside sweet!

Cake with cream in centre ($1.20)

I liked this one! The cake is very soft and fluffy, whipped cream in the center, and sugar white powder spread on top.

Total Bill for 5 items comes up to $5.50. I only brought 5 items as this is my first time there, but my secret food partner brought about more than 10 items!

The bread and pastries at Balmoral Bakery are mostly in the range of $0.80-$1.50, and there are really a lot of different types of traditional bakes which isn’t so commonly found nowadays. Go, and relieve your childhood memories!
