undisputedly the best egg tart in sg (in our opinion)!! the crust is super buttery & rich with a cookie like texture, and i loved the light touch of saltiness in the tarts when we tasted them piping hot.

the original one is the best out of the four without a doubt. the egg custard is super soft and smooth, and i esp loved the strong eggy taste and the wobbly texture which matched real well with the crust.

felt like the second best was a tie between the durian & pandan tart depending on when we had it. the durian tart had a super strong durian flavor and we could taste bits of the pulp with every mouthful. however it was somewhat regrettable that we couldnโ€™t taste much of the cheese and the durian feeling was a tad too sweet.

the pandan tart smelled super fragrant - legit the only thing we could smell out of the whole box - but the taste fell a little flat. there wasnโ€™t a distinct pandan taste and the custard didnโ€™t quite set when we had it fresh out of the oven making it super difficult to hold and eat. but!!! our perception of it changed when we had another one the next day. after leaving it out for a night, we could finally taste the strong pandan flavor and for some reason, the tart shell was still buttery and crumbly.

as for the coconut tart, we didnโ€™t like it at all? the coconut bits while fragrant was super dry and it just couldnโ€™t live up to our expectations after we tried the other three first.

Omg so let me start off by saying that these egg tarts are absolutely wonderful!! โค๏ธโค๏ธ
I toasted these for about 10mins and even before then I could pick up the smell of these pastries. The crust is honestly the main focus of the tart and admittedly I will say that it is what makes this egg tart so special. The pastry crust was a combination of crumbly with a bit of crunch and the buttery flavour hits home. Surprisingly, if you eat the egg custard and the crust separately youโ€™ll realise that the custard is mildly sweet, and most of the sweetness actlly comes from the crust. It is ideal in the sense that a toned down custard draws attention to the butter rich tart, but surprisingly the butter taste doesnโ€™t overwhelm the custard, not distracting from the idea or flavours of what makes an egg tart.

Would I eat it again : HECK YES!! I swear if youโ€™ve never tried this in Singapore youโ€™re missing out in life

Still good. This time what jumped out to me was they seemed to have an added taste of roast, despite being baked, and it improved the tarts.

I find that it was quite strong smell of pandan after buying at Tai Cheong Bakery @ Raffles City and most of people went queue for Tai Cheong Bakery @ Raffles City. I found its better than the original egg tart and I saw most of foodie account posted about the egg tart during circuit breaker period.

It is light and not cloying in the least. So unassumingly good that it makes me almost forget the price and want 5 more. Would definitely get this again. Even the non-coconut lovers in my family downed this as easily as the smooth, silky egg tart.

Price: $2.70

I first tried their egg tart in HK and I fell in love with them!! Though I have no particular preference for the type of tart (chinese / portugese) but omg I really love this buttery tart crust!! I JUST CAN'T STOP AT ONE!!!! It cost $2 for one, which I think is pretty affordable considering its location!! Grab them as a post meal dessert ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ’š

Do not give these treats from @taicheongsg a miss when youโ€™re at @takashimayasg! โคโคโค The original Egg Tart ($2) is my ultimate all-time favourite -ย  freshly baked in-house daily, the buttery & crumbly crust encases a smooth yet firm egg custard that isnโ€™t too sweet. ๐Ÿ˜‹ The vibrant yellow simply screams EAT ME! ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜
.
If you have not tried the other pastries, you just got to as they are equally delightful! ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป
.
๐Ÿ”น๏ธPandan Tart ($2) - a local spin-off from the signature egg tart, the irresistible fragrance of pandan infused in the egg custard was quite a winner! ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’š
.
๐Ÿ”น๏ธCoconut Tart ($2.65) - what an old-school treat! Featuring finely-grated coconut ๐Ÿฅฅ that renders a nice juicy crunch, this makes a sweet treat! Topped with a bit of maraschino cherry for a pretty finishing touch. ๐Ÿ’
.
๐Ÿ”น๏ธDurian & Cheese Tart ($3.85) - fans of the King of Fruits would be pleased with this tart made with ๐Ÿ’ฏ real durian fruit puree which boasts of the intense pungent-sweet flavours, slightly mellowed by the equally creamy cheese. LEGIT! ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป
.
๐Ÿ”น๏ธChicken Pie ($3) - if youโ€™re a fan of savoury treats, youโ€™re not left out! ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿป The chicken pie filling was creamy & luscious with a hint of pepper, which compliments the buttery pastry with a slight tinge of sweetness. ๐Ÿ˜‹

Complete your tea break with their Egg Tart set ($3.50) at @takashimayasg B2 Food Village! โœ” Comes with Hong Kong Milk Tea/Coffee/Yuan Yang, you can sip on your hot/cold beverage โ˜• & savour their decadent egg tart leisurely! ๐Ÿ˜‰

Chanced upon their newest outlet at Novena Square 2, next to Barcook Bakery. It just opened today (1 December). Got both the original flavour and pandan egg tart. I personally prefer the original. The pandan one has a very subtle pandan flavour which isn't overpowering. However, I felt that the plain egg custard was softer and smoother. The crust for both is biscuit-like rather than flaky layers, but still buttery and crumbly.
Price: $2 each

Tai Cheongโ€™s Signature Egg Tarts (S$2.00) won a lot of attention based on my Instagram feed, so out of curiosity I decided to give it a try. Unlike the usual pastry shell that I would expect from the traditional egg tarts that I was exposed to, the egg tart shell here was cookie-style which then promised more crunch. The custard curd was also within expectation: smooth with a sufficient degree of sweetness.

Sadly, it was not as outstanding as I had hoped for it to be, which also meant that I might pick this up if I were nearby, and not something that I would go out of the way to buy.

Fall in, fellow bread lovers ๐Ÿฅฏ - Iโ€™m sure youโ€™ll enjoy this BOLO Bun as much as I did! Had this Scrambled Eggs with Bolo Bun & Luncheon Meat ($6.90) from @taicheongsg! ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜ Time to head down to their Express stall at @takashimayasg B2 Food Village & share it with your BFFs! ๐Ÿ˜‰
.
Absolutely adored the Bolo Bun ($2.35/pc), which is another of their signature! โค I am critical about my breads - gotta balance the right amount of pillowy softness with actual substance with a nice chew (i.e. canโ€™t be too airy fairy), & this bun ticks the boxes for me! โœ”โœ”โœ” My favourite part has got to be the crusty & crumbly top that had a nice balance of sweet & buttery flavours! ๐Ÿ˜‹๐Ÿ˜‹๐Ÿ˜‹
.
Paired with a silky & creamy egg hill of egg folds ๐Ÿณ that is just lightly seasoned & savoury pan-fried luncheon meat strips, this was an indulgent tea break for me! ๐Ÿ’• You can choose to have it on toast instead of Bolo Bun but trust me, the Bolo Bun is truly worth the eat! ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป
.
If you are looking for something lighter, you can go for @taicheongsgโ€™s Bolo You Bun set ($3.90) which comes with a drink of your choice (Hong Kong Milk Tea, Coffee or Yuan Yang (Tea & Coffee Mix)! โ˜•

Who can resist these lovely egg tarts especially for an egg lover like me ๐Ÿค— Beautiful golden crispy crumble crust with mid-sweet soft egg custard. Perfect for teabreak! They have pandan flavour too, which I always tell myself to try next time ๐Ÿ˜‚

Look at the polo buns! Definitely on point with crispy outer and a slice of butter on it. ๐Ÿ˜‹ 1 polo bun will be excellent pairing during teabreak ๐Ÿตโ˜•

The egg is definitely on point! Option between luncheon meat or grilled chicken chop. Personally I will choose the luncheon meat option.

Perfect hot bowl of noodle for the rainy cold weather. Loved their luncheon meat ๐Ÿ˜‹

The egg is definitely on point! Option between grilled chicken chop or luncheon meat. Personally I prefer the luncheon meat more.

Comes with rice(not in photo), curry chicken and potato. Well cooked, great for lunch/dinner for a filling meal.

How about a big French toast flooded with maple syrup? The hot toast melts the butter and I find that it's best for sharing among 2-3 pax.

One of my favourite with nice cubes of radish cake cut to bite size and egg is well done. ๐Ÿ˜‹
