Tong Heng Confectionery

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.


See the close proximity?

I really liked this egg tart.

Egg tart (original) ($1.40)

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. 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- the pastry becomes flaccid after cooling. The custard is also slurpaliciously wobbly when they're freshly baked!

Naturally, I gobbled down my Tong Heng egg tarts in a flash.

Egg cake ($1.30)

However, I don't quite fancy the variant of egg cake sold here. I'll save my stomach for more egg tarts!
