Foreigner Tries Singapore's Most Famous Tau Sar Piah🥧Loong Fatt

Loong Fatt (龍發豆沙餅) is one of Singapore's oldest and most famous kopi tiam (coffee place) selling tau sar piah. The founder first opened his first shop in 1948. That is even before Singapore's independence!
It's my first time eating this pastry. Is it worth the hype? I traveled to Balestier to find out.

Why do I feel that you are the only KZbinr around actively sharing with your viewers the local heritage, cuisine and living in Singapore, with your honest narration, humbleness and informative videos. Even as a Singaporean, there are still much to learn from your videos :)

[@kennethong8395]

Pika Chiew yea man totally agree , even as a Singaporean i didnt noe some local heritage and food places

[@IRL-RAI]

Yeah because usually Singaporeans have this idea where "SG, where got so interesting" "boring" 😂

Yes, better than Nas Daily x3000 times

I think Ghib visits more places in Singapore than me as a born and bred Singaporean

[@rolandlwtay]

Ambrose Lee I know right

[@koruspring1519]

I think that's because he's making money out of it.

[@danltm]

He really likes to explore Singapore. U can see he really enjoys here. The thing is that when we are born here, we tend to take things for granted and also assume that we know a lot.

[@arsenal_84]

Explore first before the 1 month lockdown.

[@joeychen3946]

Yes! He makes me wanna be a tourist in SG even tho I'm a born and bred Singaporean lol

[@claratan3694]

This shop sells out by 3pm every day. And certain times of the day like lunch time, there will be a super long queue. 10 years ago they sold like 50 cents each. Now it’s 80 cents. Still very reasonable. But most importantly they taste really good. Quality still consistent throughout the years.

[@CharlesWongcrinklecut]

How are you cranking these out so fast? You're a machine! Love feeling like a tourist in my own country.

[@Aurica34]

Ghib Ojisan appreciate Singapore food better than Singaporeans! Very much respect.

[@yvon6307]

I gave my relatives Loong Fatt tau sar piah together with my wedding invitation in the 1990s. Now my boy is 19 year old, it is still our favorite snack ! Must buy every time we are near this location. Love both the sweet & salty ! Yummy ! Must go there soon ! Please don't close !

[@thecatfromsingapore]

Kudos to our National Heritage Board :)

[@sktan784]

My goodness! Ghib, you are discovering places that I as a Singaporean, have never heard of before. The English subtitles were excellent. Looking forward to watch your next episode & do continue with your honest feedback & opinions. Keep up the good work.

[@masan7483]

おお、行ってたんですね。そこは密かに昼だけやってるエコノミーライスも絶品で、うちは週に何回か行ってます。その豆沙餅はジップロックに入れて冷凍しとけばレンジでチンして食べれるので、冷凍庫に常にストックしています。ところでそのお婆ちゃん、笑ってるところ初めて見て驚愕！ 英語をしゃべれてさらに驚愕！！！ いつも不機嫌MAXでよく彼女のマイルールに従わない客に中国語で怒鳴ってるんですがｗｗｗ 私も一度怒鳴られましたが、「おお、今日もお婆ちゃん元気だな」と気にならなくなりました。

[@kimberlynteo2906]

Eyy! Glad to see Balestier being featured in your channel!

Wowww!! Frequent uploads! Love all your uploads

[@edwintan309]

Good job NHB - please save and showcase more of such shops!!! And great job Ghib!!!

[@toni-kaku]

I like the salty one. They are definitely best eaten straight out of the oven like you did. They take a lot of labour too make them. 80c is ridicously cheap price to pay.

[@TrueThat95]

I agree, many traditional pastries are disappearing cause of how time consuming it is to make them. :(, gotta appreciate what we have right now as they won't be around forever.

[@ixactan69]

@@TrueThat95 Ya, its quite a sad situation. Partly because youngsters find not "dope" to eat them, prefer to eat a slice of cake at cafe for more than 10x the price...

[@edamame5540]

@@ixactan69 Totally agree! I'm a fan of traditonal Chinese food.

Ixac Tan haiz..... that’s the problem we must solve by educating and bring awareness of our heritage to the new generation

[@CassiopeiaOnYT]

Ixac Tan As a 21 year old if that is considered young, I’m never a fan of sweet stuff and especially expensive ones given my rather frugal nature. Char Siew Bao still remains my favourite breakfast item but seeing this once CB is over i May try it out if I have the chance.

[@vamtire]

This is such a gem, it looks so good, I'll legit go down and eat because this is special. also for the atmosphere. Real thanks for the recommendation

[@amaiwa]

Watching this whilst being on lockdown in UK, wishing I was back home, having a cup of kopi and a sweet tau sar pia 😕

[@sparkblessedbe]

In the beginning of your video as you passed the Chinese temple, there is another store called the House of Tau Sa Piah which also has a long history. The difference is that it is completely vegetarian. Vegetarians, vegans and Muslims can try this traditional green bean paste pastry from this store instead. The Loong Fatt is likely not vegetarian as they probably use pork lard in their dough. Other commenters please correct me if I’m wrong. Thanks 😊

[@xavieiro]

Loongfatt tau sar piah also use vegetarian oil and they use butter and margarine instead of lard

[@blackhorse7553]

Use that "lard" more tasty and shiok...

[@OT7hisham]

@@xavieiro thanks Xavier. Now I'm inclined to drop by loong fatt too. Thanks.

[@LoongAqua]

Lard tastes much better.

[@muhammadnuzulmahfiruddin5563]

As a muslim, thank you for your information

[@prettycatmint4514]

I love their sweet tau sah piah but they are rich flavourful treats to eat once in a while. Glad you took the chance to try them and savour a bit of history.

It's so good that Malaysians also come to Singapore to buy. Used to be 50 cents each. I will alternate between sweet and salty. Both are nice. Those who wants to buy please go during office hours for weekdays. They close like 5pm-6pm but opens very early in the morning like 6am.

[@princeoftennisrox27]

Can hear the Singaporean Aunty hollering the perfect Sg pronunciation of Tau Sar Piah in the background at 5:56

Always felt this would be popular in Japan because of the sweet bean filling that is common in Japanese desserts. Glad you enjoyed it. Grew up eating this.

I had lived in SG for so long and always thought these pastry were made in MY and shipped over. Never thought they have a stall that made it here. Thanks

the fragrance, aroma, warm and buttery taste is outstanding. it easily beats all the tau sa pia you can find in Malaysia and Hong Kong. i usually buy like 8 but its very heaty and can cause sore throat.
