I have always adored their original & collagen egg tarts - can't go wrong with the combination of sweet egg custard & buttery crust 🧈! The Lychee Popping Joy rendition reminds me of boba 🧋, delighting with refreshing burst of fruity pops! 😋
.
Choc lovers will enjoy the Dark Chocolate Egg Tart! 🍫 Like how the rich 72% dark chocolate adds a new dimension to the egg tart - not too sweet! 👌🏻 My parents really liked the aromatic, pandan-infused egg custard of the new Ondeh-Ondeh Egg Tart 💚! Topped with gula melaka, shredded coconut 🥥 & dusted with desiccated coconut, this will appeal to our 🇸🇬 tastebuds!

There are two styles of egg tarts available here -  one with pastry skin and the other with cookie skin. Both are filled with the same custard made with eggs and butter. The pastry skin was sold out and made do with their cookie skin which was firm with a nice buttery fragrance. The custard was not as good as expected.

The bolo bao has a nice crisp with some sweetness on the exterior but I find the inside a little dry for my liking. I got mine with luncheon meat to add some flavour to it. Other options such as kaya or butter are also available.

Pineapple Bun (Kam Kee) Luncheon Meat 》$2.80
Egg Tart (Hoover) Cookie Skin 》$2.30

Fortune Pineapple Egg Tart ($2.80) 🍍 - a limited seasonal item, the slightly tangy pineapple filling complements the sweet egg custard & buttery cookie crust. 👍🏻

22 Carat French Gold Flakes Egg Tart ($6 each, $22.80/box of 4) 🌟 - comes with a luxurious touch, making it perfect for gifting 🎁

Lychee Popping Joy Egg Tart ($2.50, U.P. $2.80) - reminds me of boba 🧋! The burst of fruity lychee pops amidst the smooth custard was refreshing! 😋
