I'd love to eat their egg tarts. It's my favorite dessert
You know the recipe is handmade and traditional when they still use a tea kettle to pour the egg mixture! I felt really homely when I see that scene.
Omg twin!
I used to go all the way to buy Tong Heng egg tarts for my grandma when she was still alive although I don't eat it myself. However I have developed a love for egg tarts now & this really bring back nostalgia. I wish I have a chance to learn these skills from a proper master one day & bring it on to the next generation with lots of handwork, love & tradition
dedicated aunties
'So boss how? Can or not?' I miss Singapore so much 😀 Thanks and congratulations you're wonderful people and your skills are a major plus that makes a difference and will last longer than any business plan!
We really need more makeovers like these to preserve some of the older brands.
Thats the truth about good food. Needs your hands.. machines not always the best
@@SimonWoodburyForget What you're arguing for is a matter of poverty, not machinery. If I gave them a whole chicken, they would probably make wonders (that I could even image) with their local spices.
@@SimonWoodburyForget Are you that dumb? Even with machines they will cost either just as much if not more!
You aren't even from Singapore do you won't know what these Aunties/grandmas feels about machines making their tarts.
If you are gonna come here and argue about poverty... Don't. Please. It's just gonna make you look more and more ignorant. You are comparing Apples and Oranges.
Handmade and machine made don't taste the same.
Doesn’t anyone notice that the one of the aunties looks like he mother from Bao
SHE DOES OMG-
Exactly spot on the aunty with specs
Glad I wasnt the only one thinking this 😂
Lol I was thinking the ssme!
Probably because both are chinese 😂 they do actually look the same
Hidden gem in Chinatown, love their signature egg tart and their cantonese pastries. Many thanks to the Fong family and the employees dedicating so many decades for the craft
I’m a Singaporean.It’s a must buy dessert whenever I’m at Chinatown.This is the best egg tarts in Singapore.I only eat Tong Heng egg tarts in all my life.
Agree ,so yummy
Usually in the west the third generation is the one that destroys the business. Very nice thank you for sharing Peace
For me, Tong Heng's egg tart is the best egg tart in Singapore
This looks so delicious and unique
Ray Mak Omg you’re everywhere
Why do you comment in every video?!
Justin Y 2.0?
@@Kim_kim_kim_kim why not
Absolutely gorgeous bakery! The egg tarts look so yummy and I've never seen them made without dairy and in such a pretty diamond shape ^_^ if I can go visit Singapore again I want to go to tong heng!!
Prefer this brand over Joyluck n Tai Cheong!
there's a good reason why these types of bakeries last so long: the aunties put thought into every little detail from the ingredients, to the prep, to the delivery and its' look.
Omgosh I love you when you said dairy free !!!!!!!! Thank you !!!!!
Always respectfully say aunty to anyone older than you by 10 years. No grandma...(even though she looks a century older than you) unless you want their son chasing you to beat you up all the way to the parking lot. #truestory
HL I will definitely end up as one of those aunties 😂
@@Poemi10304 Oof... Lesson learned so, no problem from now on!!!
Their son chased you? Why?
I call all of them "aunty" even if they're younger than me, as long as they are over 40 yrs old. So far so good.
@Grass how is it stupid? I'm not Asian and don't understand why someone would go through the trouble of attacking someone else for calling an older woman grandma. Also please refer to a mirror if you are looking for an idiot
THeng's egg tarts are my fav! Their selected range of Cantonese n probably Teochew pastry is really good too, esp the walnut biscuit!
Next trip to Singapore 🇸🇬 surely will come and find this place
1:08 handmade food, is far more delicious, rather than only taste delicious, we can feel the feeling and the energy which pass from the maker to the eater.
Grandma looks like bao's mom 💜💜
Omg I love these egg tarts hahaha. I miss eating it everyday
And this egg tart is square usually round. Must try must try.
its not a square... hahahh
It's not square tho
Square egg tarts taste better than round one. Why? They're easier to eat. Yeah!
We call this 'diamond' shape
It’s diamond shape
Great to see you again here Anna
Gonna try this shop next time in singapore. This look beyond fantastic at 1am
Best Egg Tart I ever had. At $2 a piece, it was a bit expensive but very much worth it.
跟香港名疍撻店價錢相近。這行在香港競爭很大。好吃的也不小。
Looks scrumptious
the egg tart is actually brought by the portuguese back in the time, the egg tart is a portuguese tradicional disert
these look so yummy, hope I get to visit here one day and get some
Oh man those look fantastic.
BEAUTIFUL.
Wait the title says the bakery is 108 years old, but in the video (0:34) she says the bakery started in the late 1920s. So how can a bakery that started in the late 1920s be 108 years old?
Perhaps they started doing it before it becomes a bakery on 1920. Anyway a title is just for attracting people. It's better to say 88 years, LOL. I like 88, it's a good number.
They were technically making egg tarts for 99 years the shop existed for 9 years before making egg tarts i think ao 108 years
Grandma is 118 years old. 10 yrs when she started making egg tarts. It's been a long time and she's still energetic. Omh. Want long happy life? Eat egg tarts. Yeah.
Great story and thanks for sharing.
Egg tarts crust takes forever to make. But, well worth it to make it at home. Fresh out of your own oven.
Beautiful.
That's why they taste so good. With beauty comes good taste. Yeah!
favorite yummy
Onwards towards a 100 year old business!
Where is place?
I love egg tarts
If you're in Kuala Lumpur, go to Petaling Street. Opposite multi storey complex under construction.
How about Singapore?
Tradition and homemade make the best and healthy foods.
Doesn’t the recipe include lard though? That’s not very healthy.
@@Poemi10304 New research points to the CARBS, not the saturated fat. Please get up to date
Vincent Lam if that’s the case, it doesn’t make a difference here because this has carbs, too.
@@Poemi10304 we are talking about your statement - "Lard is unhealthy" , which may not be correct. The tart is irrelevant
椰子哒最好吃!
I 💘 egg tarts. I want to eat their egg tarts 😋
How old is that tea kettle you are using to pour the eggs? I have the exact one.
Today years old
A MUST HAVE FOR ME
What is the address, please?
Egg tart without dairy hmmm interesting!!!
How to grow blue peas from seeds
Must try during my next visit to sg. Hehe
nice accent
Cantonese food 😍
How much is an egg tart?
1,90$
Her English is so good.
all singaporeans english is their first language accept for the eldery
Sweet
I don't understand how people think they're going to like it... It's just egg and sugar, you can do that yourself at home in a bowl and bake it...
No dairy or fat = Pure chunk of sweet egg
Not Neo : they're not going to tell you their secret recipe. Very secret.
I want myself a egg tart right now
Interesting how she kept referring to her aunts as "her bosses" instead of "her aunts".
So this is basically baked egg in a pastry cup?
they're called egg tarts because the yellow stuff is super sweet custard
I know that. I watched the video, they don’t put anything on the egg mixture.
jadebench : egg got secret recipe. Cannot tell you wann.
Legionary Armada : it's sweat with egg...the golden recipe.
Legionary Armada : sprinkles of saliva to enhance the sentient sweetness.
Matcha eggtarts are even better. I ate those in Hong Kong.
WHOOOOO CARES?
You :) Because you cared to reply to me. @@Steven-hq4mb
👍🏻
i like it =)
Must have been misled by the term "egg wash"!
Ya ampun pie susu
Egg tarts in HK are the best OMG
Cannot be. Egg tarts in Kuala Lumpur have no peers. Go to Petaling Street.
Egg tarts are originated from Portugal, especially in the Convent. Every HK or KL are just imitation
@@cb250nighthawk3 You have to go to this shop to try the egg tart for yourself. Why Malaysians like to claim everything in Singapore is from Malaysia? This shop was opened by the southern Chinese immigrants in the 1920s when Singapore was still a British colony. There were many Chinese traders doing business here because Singapore was a free port. I am sure u know Singapore was part of Malaysia for only a short period of 2 years. Although our foods are quite similar in one way or another , that doesn't mean they are from Malaysia. In fact , most of the Chinese food in SEA originated in China.

Since when have Malaysians claimed that everything in Singapore is from Malaysia?
Have I claimed that this egg tart is from Malaysia? No.
@@cb250nighthawk3 You should know.
Here English is pretty top notch so what’s with the subtitles lol. I can understand what she saying
Well, you are not the only one watching this.
why the weird shape? just to be different?
daveheel - it’s a common practice in bakeries to give things that can be mistaken for each other unique shapes, they make multiple kinds of egg tart so... s’why bread can come in wild shapes.
As someone who has eaten it before - the shape makes it easier to eat. It tends to fall apart less after you take a bite, and since it has more structural integrity the crust is thinner than the traditional circular egg tarts.
great video, but should be laborious instead of laborous :D (just saying)
she did say those untie does this for 45 decade = 450years
Its 4 to 5 decades, please practice your listening
1decade=10years / 1century =100years
Find their egg tarts is kind of overrated. For me, the best egg tarts are from MBS Rasapura Tim Sum section. Good and cheap. I always tabao half or a dozen home.
Not egg tart without egg
No milk egg tarts? So basically its an omelette tart.
it's nothing like an omlette. Try it first.
Omahgah, the jiggle
They're not the traditional tarts, I prefer the flaky crust.
No one wore gloves.
It is getting rediculous expensive.
Sorry but am I the only person who thought this was a gmm video from the thumbnail?
There was once they nearly go bust because of her.
Never liked their egg tarts as it didn't have the butter flavour in the pastry, but old people seems to like them.... for me, it's a very bland flavour egg tart, lacking the butter and good vanilla in a well made buttery flakey crust and vanilla flavoured egg custard.
Agreed. Tai Cheong crushes them in terms of flavour and even packaging. They need to improve it. Brand is waay too good to waste.
If you watched their video, they specifically said their egg tarts are dairy-free. And also, vanilla isn't commonly used in traditional chinese pastries.
kenneth zeng But the egg tart came to China by way of the Portuguese when they colonized Macau. In Macau, their version is very similar to the original pastel de nata recipe which uses butter in the pastry and milk in the custard.
@@ceceyam Hmmm. The point of discussion isn't about the egg tart origin, but rather, how it's being made that affects the taste. There was no mention in the video about authenticity.
What is the basis of Chinese style pastry is the usage of a lard based dough with a water based dough, to create a layered pastry. A western pastry would use butter instead. It is not meant to have butter, since they use the Chinese methodology much like your tau sar piah to make Egg Tarts.
Oil based dough? Too cheap to use butter.
Chinese cooking doesn't really use butter, hence the oil
using oil makes the pastry more light, like how chiffon cakes use oil instead of butter as well.
No milk no cream no cheese how it's supposed to be tasty?
apple pie Have you actually tried them? Egg tarts are yummy (well at least the well-made ones) 😋 Better than many western desserts IMO.
apple pie : eggs plus secret recipe. Can't tell you, sorry!
You English very very Singapore acent we don’t really understand
Meng Huynh because your English is not too good either. Her English is alright.
"It was started in the late 20's".
108 year old shop.
What? Did someone fail basic math?
@Thuraiswaran Anandan lol 2018-1920 is 98
No for me.
Pin Wei : it's good for a long happy life. Just look at grandma!
Give it a try. It is soooooooo delicious.
I thought that was 108 y/o egg....................oh nevermind, no one will gonna appreciate, and mind this comment, bye.
Ew!!! Now dairy? So basically an omelet on biscuit
hmm did she mention the egg tarts are dairy free??? ummm egg is dairy tho haha
Egg is not dairy... Hope I'm getting trolled
Dairy = milk. Eggs don't have milk.
MOONYuriify hey smartpants, eggs are poultry.
LOL
In some countries (i.e. Poland) there is this thing called "nabiał" which is actually dairy and eggs. So I think this is where the misunderstanding comes from
How could these be egg tarts when there's no egg in there??
There is egg, but no dairy.
You heard it all wrong. Replay please.
For me, not as good as KFC egg tart. Btw, no glove when working is a big no no. And the kitchen looks sloppy
Sometimes you can't feel well with gloves. They did mention you need to feel it with the touch. Actually, there are food that is actually made without gloves. Sushi for example. Cheese. And, my mom's home made food.
@@nsyinggpeachy4263 i agree. But still, not a fan
Hmmm saw the kfc kitchen through the counter before, the kitchen hands there didn't wear gloves either. Facts of the day: wearing gloves don't always guarantee hygiene, there bacteria on gloves as well (during manufacturing, packaging and while being used). Fact 2: most chefs, cooks, kitchen hands in restaurants don't wear gloves. So maybe processed food would suit you the best?
@@taniang123 :(
I prefer someone who use their hands and wash them than some plastic. I hate using gloves when cooking. If you will die, you will, gloves or not.
