The end of an era is coming. Fans of Madeleine’s Original Portuguese Egg Tart have around a month left to get their egg tart fix from the popular Tanjong Katong bakery, before its shutters officially close for the final time.
The brand recently posted a TikTok video to announce the sad news of the closure, which will take place on 16 August 2024.

The shop has been around since 1998, making them 26 years old this year. According to a CNA exclusive, the Tanjong Katong bakery space is rented from a landlord, who decided to sell the unit. As a result, the bakery owners decided to stop all operations. Their last day of business will be 15 August.

If it’s your first time here, try their Original Portuguese Egg Tart at $2.50 each or $15 for a box of six. These egg tarts are said to be super flaky on the outside, with a generous amount of smooth egg custard in the middle.
