8th stop: Snacking out!

Another feature of balestier is the amount of Tau Sar Piah stores! Just simply on one stretch of the road, there are like 3 stores selling Tau Sar Piah!!!
All claim to be the best in town! And all do have food critics and newpaper articles written about them!
I cant resist the temptation to try one of it! Below are some of the pictures :)

Shop 1

My mom likes the Tau Sar Piah from this shop! Thus, i've tried the ones from this store.

Gave it a miss and decided to try from its rival store! hahaha

Shop 2:

i decided to settle my craving in this shop! Tau Sar Piah actually comes with different fillings. I suppose the traditional ones are just mainly the salty one and the sweet one. But nowadays, new exciting flavours are coming out to attract Singaporeans who have an adventurous spirit and tastebud!

Shop 3:

the tau sah piah i bought from shop 2!

i bought the sweet filling one :)

yummy!

the skin is crispy and the filling is just nice! not too sweet!

and i'm glad i have it when its still hot!

some reviews:

"the nicest salted ones I find is still from Loong Fatt especially when it's hot from the oven..."

Another thing about Loong Fatt is nostalgia. My family knew them ever since they were at the Sembawang many long years back. Also, once you go to the back, the aroma is more arresting than the other shops. The taste also better than the others. I think that's why the rest of the shops have to compete by introducing new flavors.
