No doubt, there are many traditional, also known as old-school bakeries around Singapore. Most of them offer Western-influenced baked goods such as buttercream cakes, and banana pies. However, there are some handful traditional bakeries that still make Chinese pastries, such as tau sar piah, a Teochew delicacy. Hunting for some freshly baked ones? You will need to check out Loong Fatt!
Most Sought-After Buttery & Flaky Tau Sar Piah In S’pore
Loong Fatt, one of Singapore’s Chinese traditional bakeries, is located at the corner of Balestier Road. It is hard to miss, with mini neon signage stationed next to the main door. Stepping inside, you will feel nostalgic. Nothing much has changed in terms of interior for the past few decades. Tiny white and green tiles on the walls, marbled tables, and wooden furniture – you get the idea!
But, we are not here to talk about the interior, are we? Loong Fatt is famous for its tau sar piah. There are two versions available right here, sweet tau sar piah, and salty tau sar piah. While the flavours are different, the texture of the pastry remains the same. Baked in the same oven that they have been using over the past few decades, these pastries are golden brown, and tend to be buttery and flaky.

Freshly baked daily, one piece of tau sar piah is priced at $0.90 each. Do take note that there will always be a line, and sometimes the waiting time goes up to an hour. With that said, leave with a box of tau sar piah, okay?
Apart from tau sar piah, Loong Fatt also offers other traditional baked goods such as egg tarts, butter cakes, and butter cookies.
