Heng Xiang Wife’s Biscuit


It’s simply the best Wife’s Biscuits around in Singapore.

The Wife’s Biscuits is from "恒香“,or "Heng Xiang", located at Great World City, Floor B1. "Heng Xiang" is actually this shop in Hong Kong, Yuen Long that sells the most famous Lao Po Bing in Hong Kong, the country where Lao Po Bing is originated. I will rate those that I’d tasted in HK 4.5/5.0.

The Wife’s Biscuit in Singapore pales in comparison as compared to its HK’s counterpart. Nevertheless, I guess it should be the best Wife’s Biscuits that you can taste around in Singapore. For any chinese pastry, the outer crispy layer of the biscuit, or its "skin" is the most important. For "Heng Xiang", the outer crispy layer of the biscuit is just right and very aromatic. The paste is delicious. The entire Wife’s biscuit seem to melt in your mouth after the first bite, and its simply so irresistable that it makes you feel like eating the entire box of it. :P

However, the only fault that I can find in it is that it doesn’t taste as nice if you consume it the next day, though it’s still as delicious. I remembered packing back boxes of these Lao Po Bing from HK, and they tasted just as great even after a week.

Besides its Lao Po Bing, many of the HK traditional pastry that it sells taste equally great too. The other item that I simply love from the shop is its egg tart! It’s also one of the best egg tarts I’ve ever tasted in Singapore, besides the one I ate at the "Dim Sum" restaurant, "Hong Xin" in Chinatown. Thus do try both the Wife Biscuits and its egg tarts if you ever pass by that shop!

    Thanks for the tip. I always have to tongpang people who go to Hong Kong to bring in lou por bang. Now I know where to get a decent version in Singapore.

    Keep up the foodie blog!

    Yippee, the Leonidas chocs shop is recently resurrected in Raffles City in a cafe concept. Didn’t realize also that their coffee is from Spinelli’s only after I ordered. Definitely the two best foodies’ Cs (chocs & coffee) in life!! Oops, the store is at the 3rd floor! Cool black velvet swivel seats too.
