About Bunn Choon Egg Tarts
Bunn Choon has been baking traditional Chinese pastries in the heart of Petaling Street for over a century, and the egg tart is the item that draws the queue. The shell is short and crumbly, the custard filling is silky with a gentle sweetness, and each tart costs just RM2.50. The bakery also makes char siu pastry, wife biscuit (loh poh peng) and other Chinese baked goods, but the egg tart is the reason most visitors come.
The bakery is cash only and does not take reservations. Tarts come out of the oven in batches throughout the morning, and the warm-from-the-oven experience is notably better than a cooled one. Popular batches sell out by early afternoon on weekends, so arrive before 1 pm for the best selection. The location on Jalan Balai Polis is a two-minute walk from Petaling Street, making it an easy stop during a Chinatown visit. Note that some Bunn Choon pastries use lard — confirm if halal status matters to you.

The egg tarts at RM2.50 each are perfect — short, crumbly shell with a silky custard filling. Got them warm from the oven at 10 am and the difference versus a cooled one is night and day. Cash only. Two-minute walk from Petaling Street.

Arrived at 11:30 am on a Saturday and the queue was about 15 people deep but moved fast. Bought a dozen egg tarts and four char siu pastries. Everything was fresh and flaky. Total came to RM38. The wife biscuit (loh poh peng) is also worth trying.

Over a century of baking and the quality has not slipped. The custard is gently sweet with a smooth texture. Arrive before 1 pm — popular batches sell out by early afternoon on weekends. Note that some pastries use lard, so check if halal status matters to you.

★★★★★April 2026
Tarts come out of the oven in batches throughout the morning. Timing your visit to catch a fresh batch is the key to the best experience. At RM2.50 per tart, this is one of the best-value treats in Chinatown. Easy to combine with a Petaling Street walk.

★★★★☆January 2026
The egg tart is the star but the char siu pastry deserves more attention — flaky pastry with sweet BBQ pork filling at RM3. The bakery is tiny and cash only. No seating, so eat them standing or walk to the nearby Petaling Street benches.
