Traditional Egg Tarts


Round the corner from Ann Siang Hill, the subject of the last post, along South Bridge Road, is this old-time Chinese confectionery called Tong Heng. The egg tarts are legendary. Not the usual round shape, but a diamond shape with the eggy custard goodness encased in a flaky pastry. You can have them on the premises as they have a couple of marble tables and wooden chairs, adding to the old-world charm. Other fare on offer are old-fashioned biscuits like "wife's biscuits" and other goodies which were traditionally wedding biscuits. You definitely cannot stop at one at this place.
