Leung Sang Hong Kong Pastries (良辰美点) is a Singapore bakery that has been baking traditional Hong Kong-style pastries since 1991. It is especially well-known for its flaky Hong Kong-style egg tarts, which are said to have 120 layers, and also offers other classic treats like polo buns and char siew pastries. The bakery uses authentic recipes and quality ingredients to create pastries that are popular for their taste and affordability.
Leung Sang's flagship store is located along Victoria Street, Bugis, with several branches around the city area. One of them is located along Smith Street in Chinatown.
Leung Sang's Hong Kong pastries are laid out in the glass shelf that fronted the shop in Chinatown. All the items are sold at the same price — buy 5 and get 1 free. Aside from 2 flavours of egg tarts, there are various flavours of polo buns, roasted chicken filling in different pastry skins, mushroom chicken pie, wife biscuit, etc. They have mooncakes too during Mid-Autumn Festival.
Left: The Hong Kong Egg Tart (港式酥皮蛋挞) holds its smooth, creamy and low-sweetness egg custard with thin pastry crust. The egg tart is pretty thick and the 120-layer crust seems to disappear on eating. This is delicious and must-try.
Right: The Western Egg Tarts (西式蛋挞) has a buttery shortcrust / cookie skin that holds similar egg custard as the Hong Kong-style egg tart. It has similar thickness and offers slight deviations in flavours and textures. It is nice too for people who prefer crumbly cookie crust.
Top-right: The Hong Kong-style Roasted Chicken Pastry (烧鸡酥) is smaller in size and has layered pastry crust filled with roasted chicken in a delightful sauce — not typical char siew flavour. The crust is crispy from thin pastry skin. The pastry has nice flavours and mild-sweet.
Bottom-left: The Custard Polo Bun (奶黄菠萝包), with a red mark on it, has a soft bun filled with low-sweetness custard. On the bun is a layer of sweet, crispy crust that is typical of polo buns.
Bottom-right: The Roasted Chicken Polo Bun (烧鸡菠萝包), bigger in size than the Roasted Chicken Pastry and sprinkled with roasted white sesame seeds, has similar soft bun with crispy top crust and with roasted chicken filling.
Top: The Mushroom Chicken Pie (香菇鸡肉派) has an appearance that looks like pineapple skin but not having the same crispy, crusty layer as the polo buns. Enclosed in the crumbly cookie crust is a filling with cuts of chicken meat and mushroom with a different flavour from the roasted chicken filling.
Bottom: The Honey Roasted Chicken Bun (蜜汁烧鸡包) uses roasted chicken meat in the filling too with yet a different flavour and similarly mild-sweet. Unlike the polo buns, the soft bun does not have a crusty layer on top. It is of quite a big size too.
Leung Sang's pastries have nice flavours and, as expected of Hong Kong pastries, they are of low sweetness levels and delicate textures. I will want to try the others too.
