Tai Cheong Bakery was started in 1954 by egg tart Master Au Yeung’s uncle, who later handed down the business to Au Yeung. After taking over Tai Cheong Bakery, Au Yeung pioneered the cookie crust for egg tarts, refining several other recipes using techniques he learned from his previous work in a hotel baking cakes. Tai Cheong gained popularity with locals and foreigners alike, reaching its peak when Chris Patten (then governor of Hong Kong) started frequenting the original outlet at Lyndhurst Street. The popularity of Tai Cheong remains till today.

Love this place! Weekly customer. Keep up the good work guys.
One of the oldest bakeries in Singapore, Tai Cheong makes incredible egg tarts which in our humble opinion should be bought by the dozen because they are oh so good. The bakery also makes plenty of other tarts, buns and cakes which you can try or you can even have a meal of silky egg rice with your choice of meat.
Tai Cheong Bakery Singapore was opened in conjunction with Food People Pte Ltd and Tai Cheong Bakery Hong Kong. Tai Cheong Bakery started in Singapore as a series of small pop-up stores in Takashimaya in March & May 2016, subsequently opening its first permanent store in Takashimaya basement in July 2016. Following its success, Tai Cheong Bakery opened a Cha Chaan Tang at Holland Village in November 2016.
