On the Grid : Loong Fatt Eating House & Confectionery

"Nestled in the mouth of Balestier Road is Loong Fatt Eating House & Confectionary, a Chinese bakery specialising in a Teochew Bean Paste Biscuit, known more colloquially as "Tau Sar Piah". Coming in sweet and savoury versions, these freshly baked Tau Sar Piahs have a buttery, cookie-like crunch to the flaky pastry, which hides the bean paste within. Loong Fatt’s Tau Sar Piahs have established such a name locally that when someone mentions Balestier Road, they are bound to pop up as a go-to. Stepping into their premises almost feels like a trip back in time, as the bakery looks almost identical to the way it did back in the 1980s. While many bakeries specialising in the bean paste biscuit have since emerged along Balestier Road, identifying Loong Fatt is easy, look out specifically for its 3-digit unit number - 639." - OuterEdit

Our family go to for tau sar pieh since I was a kid and now my go to place for my family. These Chinese cookies are consistently darn good for many decades, they don’t disappoint except for pricing - keeps increasing, sadly. Their cookies come in sweet or salty. Guess what’s my favourite? 😜 And to still operate at the same shop with the same decor going back to the 50/60s is even amazing. Don’t see that many kopitiams in its original form these days.

This is one of the best tau sar piah in 🇸🇬 if not the best. Mostly takeaway in boxes of 10 pieces per box. Waiting time can be half to 1 hour if you walk in. Must try at least once in your life kind of snacks 👍🏾

One of the traditional chinese biscuits shop in town. The salty tau sar pia with the crusty buttery biscuit is the best when down with hot teh si. The sweet version goes better with coffee as one can get double high lol. Indulge once in a blue moon. Life is unpredictable , just pamper oneself n be happy. Head to Balestier n seat at a nostalgic coffee shop for that vibe. Remember to take away a box, your old folks back home will love you for it.

Love the crunchiness of the skin, different from the usual tau sar piah. There are sweet and salty flavours to choose from however prefer the salty flavour as it has near perfect balance of saltiness and sweetness. Also bought pandan and banana cake, soft and not too sweet. At $1.30 per piece quite affordable. Will try other favour next time. The staff was also very welcoming and nice.

Traditional Chinese bakery. Nostalgic tables and chairs. Some people are sitting and waiting for Tau Sar piah. A bit packed. We came to buy 2 boxes of Tau Sar Piah (6 sweet + 6 salted), $15.8. We were asked to leave our phone number and come back to pick up 1 after later. Less than 1 hour, they called us to get the freshly baked tau sar piah. Staff were nice and helpful. The pastry was light and crispy. The mug bean paste was Yum. Still good even after few days. Good value. Carparks are available at the rear.

Both salty and sweet (with sesame) tau sar piah taste great 👍, staffs are friendly and helpful too. You may pre-order to save time and avoid long lines especially during busy hours.

The place was well known for its Tau Sar Piah but it also offers other old school cake items such as Custard Puff, Butter Cake, and Banana Cake. Love the butter cake which was very buttery and moist.

When my friends brought in a box of these, the first thing someone commented, "Wah! You braved the queue ah?!" Apparently infamous for their tau sar piah is this traditional old school shop at balestier! Even though they were 4 hours old, they were still flaky, as you can see all the flaky bits at the bottom of the box. I have never been a fan of these sweet snacks but now I am! As you bite in, you feel like you are biting into a char Siew soh! It is so flaky yet crispy! And inside is the sweet paste! And it is not too sweet that would make you feel heaty either! It is perfect! I will need to get my hands on another dozen of these sweet treat! Anyone young or old would love these!

This row of shophouses is balestier is pretty well-known for being home to the various "best tau sar piahs" in Singapore. I have tried all the tau sar piahs in this row of shophouses and have concluded that Loong Fatt Tau Sar Piah is my favourite. The tau sar piahs they sell are made fresh in house everyday. One is greeted with the amazing smell of freshly baked pastries upon entering the shop and i often catch a glimpse of the family in the back, rolling out the pastry dough. I like the way the shop takes you back in time with its traditional ways. The tau sar piah from this stall is extremely aromatic. The smell of the tau sar is simply alluring. The pastry has a nice bite, yet it crumbles and seems to melt away in my mouth. It is pretty cheap at 60cents a piece too.

Located at the corner of the whole row of shophouses in balestier, Loong Fatt Tau Sar Piah sure sells great, flaky and tasty tau sar piahs. This shop has an open concept kitchen, thus you can see the bakers hand-making those fresh pastries and be greeted with the delicious smell of them. The filling is not too sweet nor salty, hence appealing to the tastebuds of everyone in the family. The ventilation is better than other old, traditional shops and the fans are quite strong, so the place is not very stuffy. Although the queue took about an hour or so, the wait was definitely worthwhile. Plus, there are many seats in the shop, so if you patronize the shop in a group, you may take turns to queue up and sit down to take a sip of coffee. The price of each tau sar piah is reasonable, at 70 cents each. If you buy 5 to 6 tau sar piahs, you will get a small box. The bigger box holds up to 10. If you buy less than 5, they will put them in a plastic bag. Both sweet and salty are good, but the pastry is what makes it excellent. Thumbs up for their effort!

My grandmother has a soft spot for these little flaky pastries so I would always traipse my way down to grab a couple of boxes once in a while. You probably wouldn't have any difficulty spotting this shop from afar - the shopfront has two signboards stacked upon each other screaming the exact same message, seemingly afraid nobody would see that there is some seriously good piah up for grabs. There are two standard flavours: salty and sweet. I must admit that I always return to the store a tad confused about my preference - probably because both are pretty similar. You can differentiate visually between the two by the sesame seeds sprinkled atop the sweet piahs that distinguish them from the salty ones. Perhaps my taste-buds have not made much of a progression since I was younger, but I am still insistent that the salty piahs taste pretty much the same as the sweet piahs with the identical flavour differing only by a slight hint of saltiness coming through. Whatever it is, light feathery layers of pastry encasing slightly chewy bean paste makes the perfect accompaniment to a cup of tea in the afternoon. The Singaporean version of scones, perhaps?
