What can be expected when one is to step into the big hawker food centers in Singapore? A wide mouth-watering variety of food, more than what you can truly imagine. From a vibrant multi-racial country, you can expect a lot of different cuisines and different kinds of food that can be enjoyed. Pastries are just one of the many types of food that is offered at hawker food centers such as the one at Old Airport Road.
Egg tarts – love at first sight, with the smooth texture of the egg fillings to the beautiful outer crust. One is never enough. Such an egg tart is sold at SG 70 cents. A perfect light bite or snack for high tea. There are however, different variations of an egg tart, while some would love this, others might actually prefer the Portuguese egg tart because of the difference in the texture of the egg fillings. The Portuguese egg tart’s filling is somewhat more dry and a bit more toasted.
At the same stall, custard puffs like these are sold at about SG$2 for five. Enjoy and savor the softness of the puff to the creamy custard fillings. Something all would enjoy, mostly because it is a light treat to tuck into at any time of the day. An alternative to the wide variety of bread, these puffs can be kept all day but still remain soft and creamy.
