Preorder to skip the queue. Highly recommended cos the queue is long and it's very hot to queue there

The sweet one was lousy, hopefully it's an anomaly cos it's dry and theres an unpleasant flakiness. Theres also a bit of saltiness, and not enough sweetness.

The salty one wasnt so much salty, as less sweet. However this was much better baked, with a nice crispy crust that's quite different from your normal tau sar piah. The filling was complex and unique too for both, just much better for the salty one. It's more of a very smooth paste than a powdery filling that people are more used to. Seems like it's very normal that people like the salty one more, but I'm pretty sure the pastry is supposed to the same standard normally

Overall is it overhyped? Yeah if you're queueing, otherwise it's pretty acceptable. Best in Singapore is abit of a stretch as usual, for somethinh that's so different from the norm. But for this price it's hard to find something that's definitively a lot better I guess. House of tau sar piah had a powdery kind of filling which wowed me while this didn't as much so there's that(maybe it's the expectations though)
