BAKE
Heralded as the king of cheese tarts, BAKE is a brand you cannot miss out on. Albeit leaning towards the pricey side, every cent you pay is worth the experience of chowing own on the creamy mousse-textured cheese centre wrapped in buttery, melt-in-your-mouth pastry. The divine taste bud experience simply cannot be encapsulated into words.

Hokkaido Baked Cheese Tart
A new concept pushed out by Secret Recipe, this brand is not to be mistaken for BAKE, despite their highly identical packaging and appearance. Although their cheese tart’s crust is thicker, and the cheese filling has a texture unlike that of BAKE’s creations, these cheese tarts remain one of the top few names on our list with its rich smooth filling and durable buttery crust.

Nigiro Cafe
Melding the crispy oily decadence of a churro with the melty buttery texture of a cheese tart, Nigiro has come up with one of the most brilliant gastronomical inventions to exist – the churro cheese tart. Expect a hulking-sized cheese tart bleeding warm cheesy lava, sealed with a crispy cinnamon-sprinkled churro lid. Yes, it tastes every bit as phenomenal as it sounds.

BreadTalk
Hailed as one of the most popular local bakeries, you can bet BreadTalk never disappoints with their bakes. Their release of molten lava cheese tarts sent locals into a frenzy, and you can bet it was no empty hype. Using the finest cream cheese flown all the way from Italy and New Zealand, coupled with fresh Hokkaido milk, BreadTalk’s cheese tarts flaunt a smooth luxurious cream cheese lava held in a flavourful crust.

Ingeniously combining the salted egg croissant craze with that of the cheese tarts, Prima Deli has stolen the spotlight with their salted egg lava cheese tarts. An oozing puddle of golden salted egg lava in a backdrop of a luscious yellow mountain? It doesn’t get any better than this.

KFC
Don’t let its fast food title mislead you - KFC actually churns out surprisingly good cheese tarts. A mix of buttery, cheesy and savoury-sweet flavours melt in your mouth, they are finger-lickin’ good. The real deal, though, lies in how quick and affordable these guys are

Patisserie Glace
Deviate from the norm with these special frozen cheese tarts from Patisserie Glace. Instead of a warm runny dessert, you’re presented with an iced tart resembling a mini cheesecake.
