Best Tarts in Ipoh

Located at Kedai Kopi Weng Seng, Hong Kee is known for its signature egg tart. Unlike the thin-crusted version, Hong Kee’s pastry crust is thick but still crispy on the outside. The egg custard filling in the middle is rich and smooth. Also, if you’re looking for a something different, try the sweet and fragrant coconut version!

Although All Inn Café is primarily known for its tong sui varieties, there’s a stall that sells delicious tarts such as traditional ones and Portuguese version. The egg tarts have a nice flaky texture while the fillings are both eggy and creamy without being overly sweet. Try out the pandan tarts for a unique taste!  

Otherwise known as Khuen Kee Biscuit, this old confectionery shop has been around for 40 years - since 1975! Although they are primarily known for their signature kaya kok (kaya puff), Qunkee’s Hong Kong-style egg tarts are also exceptionally good. The pastry shell of each is full of flaky goodness, while the egg custard in the centre simply taste divine. There’s another type that comes with meat floss topping. As weird as it sounds, the combination of savoury meat floss and creamy sweetness of egg custard surprisingly goes well with each other!

Choy Kee needs no introduction. This humble-looking confectionery stall serves one of the best egg tarts in Ipoh, period. The egg tart is oven-fresh and the taste is totally out of this world! The pastry crust is not too thick or too thin and blessed with a light buttery aroma, while the egg custard filling is creamy and silky smooth.

While Nam Heong is popularly known for its signature white coffee, they also sell awesome egg tarts. Served hot upon order, the egg custard filling has a subtle balance of sweetness and eggy taste that complements well with the flaky pastry shell. Don’t forget to pair the egg tart with a cup of hot or iced white coffee for a perfect snack combo!

From cakes to puffs, JJ Café has it all when comes to dessert selection. Not to be left out are the scrumptious tarts. Both blueberry and strawberry fruit tarts with their crispy crusts hit the sweet spot. Assorted cheese tarts such as the aromatic coffee cheese are recommended as well!

Dim sum is best eaten when served fresh. That’s what exactly you get when you dine at Li Yuan! The menu offers plenty of dim sum varieties and if you’re into baked items, the green tea egg tarts are definitely worth a try. The pastry crusts are delectable, while the custard fillings are packed with subtle green tea aroma. The restaurant also serves traditional egg tarts.

A tart in teeny-weeny size? Yup, Lim Ko Pi offers cute-looking mini cheese tart! It’s a perfect light snack - especially for those who wanted a quick bite. The custard filling is velvety smooth and matches well with the crusty pastry shell, while the jam topping adds a delightful pinch of sweetness. The menu also serves big-sized cheese tarts (regular, that is), as well as traditional egg tarts.
