Tong Heng 東興 is a pastry shop in Jurong East, Singapore, an outlet of Tong Heng, a Singapore Cantonese pastry brand known for egg tarts and traditional Chinese pastries. It holds a 3.3 Google rating from 53 reviews.
Cantonese pastry shops sell items such as egg tarts, wife cakes, sesame and walnut cookies and mooncakes, and a good one is judged on freshness: tart shells that are flaky and not greasy, egg custard that is smooth and just set, and fillings that are sweet but not overpowering. Egg tarts are at their best warm from the oven, when the pastry is crisp, and they soften as they sit, so it helps to ask what has just been baked. Festive seasons, such as the Mid-Autumn Festival and Chinese New Year, bring queues and pre-order deadlines, so it pays to ask early. In Singapore's humidity, pastry loses its crispness quickly, so eat soon after buying. With a middling-to-low overall rating, read recent reviews for comments on freshness. Regulars ask about nuts, eggs and dairy if anyone has allergies.
