Many Singaporeans enjoy egg tarts, yet some support Team Pastry Crust while others support Team Cookie Crust. Regardless of your stance, this list of 6 Singapore restaurants serving traditional egg tarts will not disappoint.
1. Leung Sang Hong Kong Pastries

Leung Sang Hong Kong Pastries is located near Tiong Bahru MRT Station. The puffier and flakier crust of their Leung Sang Egg Tarts ($2.20) transforms into creaminess as you chew. This contrasts with their Western Egg Tarts ($2.20), which have a hard base.

Tai Cheong Bakery has been making pastries since 1954, so you can be confident that their Signature Egg Tarts will not disappoint. Expect silky egg custard enclosed in a buttery, shortcake-like crust, and be prepared to order more than one.

Dona Manis Cake Shop, located in Katong Shopping Centre, is nearly a relic of '90s bakeries. The modest shop selling the notoriously delectable Banana Pie ($2.50 per slice, $25 for a complete pie) exudes a buttery scent. Gently sink your teeth into each egg tart ($2.50 for two pieces), which is held together by a delicate buttery crust that crumbles with each mouthful.

Address: 865 Mountbatten Road, #B1-93, Katong Shopping Centre, Singapore 437844
Opening Hours: Tue-Sat 10:30am to 5pm

Tai Chong Kok, another bakery that has dabbled in diamond-shaped egg tarts, fills its buttery, biscuit-like crust with a little runny but equally wonderful custard. The 83-year-old bakery began by selling traditional mooncakes before branching out into mooncakes, so you can bet they know something about pastries.

5. Balmoral Bakery

They only sell egg tarts ($1.50) on weekends, but if you want any before then, you can call ahead two days in advance and place an order for at least a box of nine. Their custard is a little runnier, but the crust is still hard. Add a cream horn ($1.50), which is currently a hard find, and their much-lauded Chicken Pie ($1.80).

Bengawan Solo is the definition of a household name when it comes to bakeries. Their signature Egg Tart ($1.80) boasts a flaky crust with a cookie filling and a sweet, silky egg filling. It's hardly the most thrilling egg tart out there, but it's hard to match for simplicity and nostalgia.
