Ethan_Oleh Posted July 1, 2016 Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 (edited) Tak Po As an extension of the Tak Po Dim Sum restaurant in Chinatown, much like Crystal Jade, this quaint little establishment sells pastries in a conjoined shop. For $1.10, we sat in the shade of this rather humble but charming shop and bit into the sweet, wobbly goodness that melts quite beautifully with the flaky outer skin.

Ethan_Oleh Posted July 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2016 (edited) Ng Kim Lee & Ng Kim Lee Confectionery is an old school bakery near Beauty World Shopping Centre that sells both Westernized cakes and Teochew-style pastries like custard puffs and of course, egg tarts. Their diamond-shaped egg tarts ($0.80) come with a more biscuit-like texture than the traditional egg tarts. This harder outer layer brings a nice balance to the jelly-like custard filling, which is also not overwhelmingly sweet.Ng Kim Lee Confectionery: 4 Chun Tin Road, Singapore 599591 | Tel: 6466 3515 | Monday to Saturday 0900-2100, Sunday 0900-1300 Edited July 2, 2016 by Ethan_Oleh KENZ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethan_Oleh Posted July 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2016 (edited) Tiong Bahru Galicier Pastry Among the many egg tarts we tried, the egg tarts from this pastry shop remained one of the most eccentric. The egg tart ($0.90) was rather delectable, with its hard biscuit-like pastry texture and its gelatinous yellow filling. This egg tart also somehow managed to make me feel nostalgic about the tarts sold in my primary school canteen years ago.

Ethan_Oleh Posted July 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2016 (edited) Madeleine’s Original Portugese Egg tart Now, for a change of scene, I thought it was good to add Madeleine’s Original Egg Tart to this list, simply because their Portugese egg tarts are fantastic. I’m more of a hardcore fan of the original Cantonese-style egg tart but when I tried the Portugese egg tarts from this place, I understood why many adored this particular pastry. The Portugese egg tart from Madeleine’s is almost similar to a Crème brûlée, with its charred caramelized top and creamy centre. The sides are rather flaky but the crisp texture is top notch.

Ethan_Oleh Posted July 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2016 (edited) Balmoral Bakery Balmoral Bakery is an old-school bakery that churns out various types of pastries, ranging from custard puffs to pandan cake and their egg tarts are definitely worth a mention. While most egg tarts’ fillings are usually relatively firm, the egg- custard filling of the Balmoral Bakery egg tart is slightly more runny. This smooth, soft texture is balanced out nicely with the pastry.

Ethan_Oleh Posted July 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2016 (edited) Leung Sang Hong Kong Pastries It was remarkably easy to locate this confectionery shop and my initial fears of getting lost in Tiong Bahru in search of this gem of an egg tart were quickly dissipated. The egg tart ($1.20) from this store could potentially be the best egg tart I’ve had in a long while due to its thick, smooth custard filling. The filling did not have an overwhelming eggy flavour and the pastry was soft and flaky to a good extent. Definitely worth a try.

Ethan_Oleh Posted July 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2016 (edited) Tong Heng Confectionery Tong Heng Confectionery has wriggled its way to the top of the Egg Tart food chain scene in Singapore and almost any egg-tart lover would have at least heard of this confectionery shop. Situated in the heart of China Town, Tong Heng and the diamond egg tarts ($1.60) they sell have become one of my most frequented stores. The egg tarts have a slighly flaky but still hard texture with an almost jelly-like, candied egg-custard filling. Simply delicious.

Ethan_Oleh Posted July 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2016 (edited) Chin Mee Chin Confectionery The egg tart from Chin Mee Chin Confectionery is slightly different from the typical Cantonese egg tart, with its crispy crust and beautiful yellow centre. The pastry was not too sweet and had just the right amount of eggy flavour. To top things off, Chin Mee Chin is relatively groovy for the store’s design is reminiscent of retro food shops back in the 80s.
