Leung Sang Hong Kong Pastries is a bakery at 48 Smith Street in Chinatown, Singapore, holding a 4.0 Google rating and sharing updates through its Facebook page. Hong Kong-style bakeries live and die by freshness: egg tarts, wife cakes and pineapple buns are at their best within hours of leaving the oven, so locals time visits to the morning or mid-afternoon bakes and know the popular items can be gone by late afternoon. A good test of any such shop is the egg tart, where the pastry should shatter in crisp layers around a filling with a gentle wobble. The best shops also mark the calendar, turning out mooncakes around the Mid-Autumn Festival and other seasonal treats, and it can be worth ringing ahead during festival season. Tucked along Chinatown's best-known food street, Leung Sang makes an easy sweet stop between meals in the neighbourhood.
