Tong Heng Bakery

Another place that we visited is the Tong Heng Bakery right across the Budda Tooth Relic Temple and Museum.

A few days before our flight, I saw a post of foodie Lori of Dessert Comes First about Tong Heng, and she says that “they’re the best I’ve eaten. Ever.” emphasis on “best” and “ever.” Of course we had to have this too. So on our table for a mid afternoon snack are two egg tarts, two bbq pork, and one curry chicken puff.

The eggs tarts aren’t your usual creamy egg tarts. If you’ve been to Macao and tasted their version, I’m pretty sure you won’t like this. this egg tart is totally different. This egg tart is…uhm…eggy. If you’re into eggs, then this little number will hit all the right notes (kinda like getting nordic track coupons for some). Otherwise, it won’t be as satisfying. I actually think that this is how an egg tart should really taste. Eggy. My wife and our two friends KG and J. didn’t like it and refused to take one more bite. It didn’t hit home for me but I managed to finish the last remaining one. The curry chicken puff and the bbq pork were much better though. We wanted to taste a few more pastries but we were still quite full from our Chinatown merienda.
