Following the slew of celeb-owned bakeries, including Jeanette Aw’s patisserie Once Upon A Time, veteran actress Fann Wong has also jumped onto the bandwagon with her soon-to-launch pastry shop, Fanntasy.
Fann was also a judge and host of the first local Chinese baking contest held by Mediacorp, Crème De La Crème.
Like many of us, the local star had her baking interest sparked during the Circuit Breaker last year. Since then, she has been whipping up a variety of bakes, from artisanal bread to choux pastries.

Officially launching on 13 October at 9:29am, the online store offers a lean menu of only two tarts: Musang King Gula Melaka Tart ($68), and Signature Valrhona Chocolate Tart ($58). Here’s another fun fact: Fann designed the illustrations for her packaging!
The Musang King Gula Melaka Tart features a butter sable tart crust with durian pulp and gula melaka syrup, topped with desiccated coconut. If you love chocolate, go for the Signature Valrhona Chocolate Tart, which is made with 70% Valrhona dark chocolate, almond sponge, and gold dust for an atas finish.
According to an 8 DAYS interview, only 1,000 tarts will be available for sale during the first launch. While everything is still pretty hush-hush, and full details are not out at the moment, you can submit your email address on the Fanntasy website if you wish to be the first few to receive updates.
