"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

Gorgeous pie, should have been earlier and more. It is the best Tau Sar Piah tried so far. The saled flavor is exceptional.

First time here. We tried their piping hot salty tau sar piah and had a cup of coffee while waiting for our takeaway order. The tau sar piah is really nice when eaten warm. Skin of the tau sar piah has a soft yet cripsy texture, very different from other tau sar piah I have eaten. Fillings are moist and fresh. Definitely worth a trip here. Need to wait 45mins for my takeaway order so it is advisable to order in advance.

Tucked away in a corner, this pastry shop is very popular as customers ordered in bulk. Expect a long wait time of at least 15-30mins. Their sweet 豆沙饼is more popular. The 豆沙饼 (cost $1.3 per piece regardless sweet/salty).

Edit from 1 star to 3star. 10th Dec 2024, emailed to LF tsb & got respond from them the very next day. Picked up a replacement box of TSB today, 17th Dec 2024. Verdict : The bean paste now tastes like the original. However the crust need minor adjustment, still short a little buttery taste which also affect the softness of the crust as well. Previously the crust is not loose, the crust is kind of sticky/oily glued to the paste. Jiayou LF. Looking forward to our next purchase of the original Singapore LF TSB. 11th Oct 2024. Very disappointed with how the taste of the TSB has changed. No butter tastes in the crust, very dry bean paste and the Loong Fa signature fragrance is missing. Sad. Please bring back the original recipe.

Today I went for a salty Tau Sar Piah, and what a treat! It was fresh out of the oven, deliciously flaky with a delicate sweet green paste filling that balances the salty buttery crust! These are my favourite Tau Sar Piah and I like their flat gold medal like shape vs the usual more plump ones we find around.

After my first experience having the first bite on the Tau Sar Piah here, whenever I tried other brands of Tau Sar Piah, they all just doesn't taste right anymore. Not sure if others would like the taste of the Tau Sar Piah here, but my family and I definitely love the Tau Sar Piah here. If can plan early, will be better to order from their website and collect (at least 2 days in advance). The wait most of the time is at least 30-50min. Almost all baked Tau Sar Piah will be sold out before they are even baked...

My must eat and go-to for Tau Sar Piah! It’s fragrant! And I love the salty version. It’s not too oily. Not too buttery.

Old place. Heavy construction around so dusty, not ideal to sit there n eat. Ordered online and collect saves you time. Have to park at nearby HDB open air car park amd walk a bit to collect food.

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?
