Heritage Hero: Why Tong Heng's Famed Egg Tarts Are Diamond-Shaped?
"With a sleek terrazzo-clad island counter that showcases trays of pastries, brass-framed hanging light bulbs and young, earnest staff behind the counter, Tong Heng might be mistaken for another hipster bakery. However, its 83-year-old legacy and the diamond-shaped egg tarts remind customers of its traditional Cantonese roots. After a major revamp, the interior has changed significantly, attracting a younger audience, while maintaining its menu of about 30 types of traditional Cantonese pastries. Despite the updates and an increase in prices, the essence and traditions of Tong Heng continue to shine through." - Kenneth Goh
