Double Crispy Bakery I
4.5 (351)bakery
A throwback Chinatown bakery prized for its fresh, affordable buns and flaky egg tarts that tend to sell out early.
Description




The selection spans sweet, savory, and salty treats reminiscent of classic Chinese bake shops. Alongside cookies, the shelves hold fluffy, lightly sweet cakes and savory items like pork floss. While many visit for the traditional custard version, the Portuguese egg tarts (po tat) stand out for their exceptionally flaky pastry. Everything is baked fresh daily, meaning the signature tarts—especially the Portuguese style—frequently vanish from the cases first.
