Tau sar piah is a traditional Teochew pastry that is typically made with a lightly salted mung bean filling, encased in flaky layers of a lard-enriched pastry crust. At this Clementi bakery, tau sar piah gets a novel makeover with a thin layer of mochi for chew and a touch of black sesame, layered atop a classic mung bean filling.

These pastries are priced at $1.70 each and are said to be fragrant and lightly chewy from the mochi.

If you’re not a fan of mochi or black sesame, you can also get their traditional tau sar piah offerings at $1 each.

Chang Ji Bing Jia also has a wide selection of other traditional bakes available. Try their selection of fluffy house-made cakes, from their signature fluffy Cheese Cake ($1.70 a slice), to their homely Banana Cake ($3.50).Â
Another popular pick is their Brownie Cake ($4.50), a moist chocolate cake topped with a layer of icing, and studded with chocolate chips. You’ll rarely find such a cake at neighbourhood bakeries, so give this a try.
Aside from these, they also have a selection of buns and more traditional Chinese cookies.
