Singapore's best-known egg tarts come in three styles. Chinatown's Cantonese confectioneries, Tong Heng and Tai Chong Kok, make firm-crust tarts. Hong Kong bakeries such as Tai Cheong, Leung Sang and So Good use flaky puff pastry or a cookie crust. Portuguese specialists such as Madeleine's and Qinde bake tarts with a caramelised top. If you're looking near you, Tai Cheong has 11 outlets from Woodlands to Tampines, and Tsui Wah and Legendary Hong Kong cover Jurong. Most tarts cost around $1.50 to $3. Kopi & Tarts is the halal-certified option, and we found no halal certification for the others.

Halal certification is renewed yearly, so check the certificate in store or on the MUIS directory. We found no halal certification for the other shops on this list.
What is the best egg tart in Singapore?
It depends on the style you like. For Cantonese tarts, the names that come up most are Tong Heng's diamond-shaped tart and Tai Chong Kok. For Hong Kong tarts, try Tai Cheong (cookie crust) or Leung Sang (flaky puff pastry), and for Portuguese tarts, try Madeleine's or Qinde. La Levain's sourdough crème brûlée tart is the most unusual one here.
What is the long egg tart in Singapore?
The oblong egg tart people search for is most likely Kwaasong Bakeshop's signature tart. It has a flaky crust and a caramelised, Portuguese-style top, and costs around $5.50. You'll find it at 13 Lorong Telok near Clarke Quay, and at Kwaasong's Guoco Tower and IOI Central Boulevard Towers outlets.
How much is an egg tart in Singapore, and what's the difference between Hong Kong and Portuguese styles?
Most egg tarts on this list cost around $1.50 to $3 each. Ng Kim Lee and Balmoral are at the low end, and Kwaasong's oblong tart costs about $5.50. Hong Kong and Cantonese tarts have a smooth, glossy, unburnt custard in a flaky puff-pastry or buttery cookie crust. Portuguese tarts (Madeleine's, Qinde) have a crisp, flaky shell and a caramelised, slightly charred top.
