A superbly unctuous and flavorful passionfruit filling combined with a soft merengue and a buttery tart base. Superb 👌 👌 👌

Helmed by Les Amis Restaurant's pastry chef and Asia's Best Pastry Chef 2016 Cheryl Koh, Tarte is a crowd favourite pastry shop in town. You'll find no fancy, over-the-top decorations here, just "the best version of the simplest desserts". There are two tart sizes available, with seasonal flavours appearing occasionally. If you know the particular flavour the birthday girl or boy wants, call ahead to pre-order a large tart ($38 for 16cm). If not, order a good array of the smaller tarts ($9 for 8cm) to share. Go for the best-selling Pistachio ($9) — velvety smooth, creamy filling full of nutty goodness encased in a thin but sturdy buttery tart shell, with a garnish of crushed pistachios. Also look out for the seasonal tarts like the Tasmanian Cherry, Alphonso Mango and the luscious Passionfruit. If you're planning to swing by for a particular flavour, though, it's worth calling ahead, as they run out pretty quickly.
*38cm tarts have to be ordered two days in advance

There are times when a whole cake's just too much for a celebration, and that's when these divine pastries come in. These are also perfect when you're looking for something light(er) but still a crowd-pleaser.
They only make a few flavours for the regular-sized (16cm) ones daily compared to the full range of small (8cm) tarts, so make sure you pre-order ahead if you have a specific flavour in mind!
You can request for a message to be scribbled on a chocolate disc when you pre-order, but a DIY two-tiered stack works too, especially when the two flavours are complementary. 👌🏼
If this happens to be in season, which it is right now, GET IT. You'll never find a curd so luscious and tangy, and a tart base so consistently satisfying. I dare say it's the best tart I've had here!
is one of the tarts I alway like to go for. The tangy passionfruit curd and beautifully toasted meringue with a flaky tart base is just a delightful treat!
A little pricey but oh so #delicious.

Had been wanting to get the tarts from here but either it's sold out or the store's closed, so when I'm finally able to get my hands on them I decided to get three tarts too - Passionfruit Meringue ($8), Caramel Hazelnut ($9) and Cherry ($9). These artisans tarts will make you'll relish every spoonful!
I guess the same would apply to the coffee tart that the staff tried to recommend to me yesterday. •
I'm not one to tolerate the taste with low sugar level. Hence, I enjoyed the passionfruit meringue tart which had a light sweetness to accompany the burst of sour flavour.
Les Amis' Pastry Chef Cheryl Koh aims to deliver simple, classic and beautiful tarts. The buttery French base was firm and does not crumble easily.
We tried different flavours and we can attest to the freshness of the ingredients used. Baked fresh every day, there is a limited quantity available. $8-9 for the small 8cm tart and $30-34 for 16cm.
