From TV Star to Sweet‑Treat Tycoon: Fann Wong’s Sweet New Venture
People in the spotlight have always had a knack for branching out beyond acting and singing, and Fann Wong isn’t the exception. In 2025, the beloved icon added a new feather to her cap with the launch of Fanntasy, an online pastry shop that will hopefully tempt taste‑buds worldwide.
Why I’m Here With a Fork (and a Fan)
Let’s rewind to the H‑day of My Childhood––when a single pocket‑money purchase felt like a small fortune. I was a bona fide Fann‑cliff‑hanger who scooped up every magazine cover that featured her. Once, lulled by the ringtone and voice‐overs, I’d hit “stereo” and convinced my friends to jump aboard the Fann‑express (the occasional prank call hazard, of course).
Although I never pinned the exact moment of my fandom, I’ve been head‑buttomed by three key things: her approachable, girl‑next‑door vibe, a catalog of accolades (think a Hollywood role with Jackie Chan in Shanghai Knights), memorable red‑carpet looks (that daring Loewe dress at the 44th Golden Horse Awards), and those iconic drama roles – The Legendary Swordsman, The Defining Moment, The Last Night of Madam Chin. All this made Fann feel like a sparkling, step‑up‑next‑to‑her‑mom‑like goddess who’s truly unforgettable.
Fanntasy: Chocolate Dreams & Gula Melaka Goodies
It’s less a “new brand” and more a delicious revelation. The platform showcases a range of pâté‑sized treats, each packed with the luscious flavors you expect from a diva who knows how to make a good stage performance sparkle.
My Taste-Bud Expedition
- Signature Valrhona Chocolate Tart – 100 % decadent chocolate that folds in a silky ganache layer, with a nibble of sea‑salted buttercream. The chocolate is deep and rich, nearly shouting “Cinque chic.”
- Musang King Gula Melaka Tart – A model after the most prized local fruits, this tart features a caramelised Musang‑king as the crown jewel on a buttery pâte. It’s a tropical sunset in each bite.
Review Highlights
Both desserts strike a perfect balance of tradition and pizzazz: sweetness at the right level, fruit‑like notes rife, and the subtle
when the fruit is served, each tart practically sing with gratitude for the artist’s detail.
Wrap‑Up: A Sweet Spin in Fann Wong’s Career
Fanntasy demonstrates that heroes aren’t only confined to the silver screen. They can also sprinkle a little magic onto your plate. For my fans of all of this, I guarantee it’s a bite that will keep you coming back for more – or else you’ll keep raving on the phone, like the old days.

Fann’s Sweet Journey From Home‑Baked Treats to Star Judge
When the world hit pause, Fann rolled up her sleeves and turned her kitchen into a full‑blown bakery.
What She Whipped Up
- Fudge loaf cake that’d make any chocolate lover swoon
- Zed’s favourite pita—yes, yes it’s a real thing
- A handful of goodies for friends who love anything sweet
From Hobbyist to TV Star
Her kitchen creations didn’t stay secret for long. Producers for a hit variety show spotted her talent, and now she’s co‑hosting the dessert showdown Crème De La Crème alongside Jeanette Aw and Janice Wong.
The “Therapy” Behind The Dough
In a quick chat with #JustSwipeLah, Fann spilled the beans: baking isn’t just a pastime—it’s a great way to chill out and reset the mind. She hints that a future pastry empire might be lurking in the works.
Fanntasy: Her Online Pastry Wonderland
To bring her treats to those who can’t wait to taste, Fann launched Fanntasy, an online store where you can order the best baked goods straight to your doorstep.
So, if you’re craving a sweet treat, check out Fanntasy and maybe you’ll discover that next beloved dessert by the very person who turned her kitchen into a castle of chocolate & dough.
Fann’s Fanntasy
Fanntasy Goes Live: Sweet, Sweet Start‑Up
I’ve been tinkering around in the kitchen for ages—months of trial, error, sweat, and relentless experimentation—now I’m finally pulling the trigger. This is the moment I tell the world that Fanntasy is officially open for business.
For the die‑hard fans of hers, Fanntasy isn’t just a brand anymore; it’s a nostalgic throwback to her 1996 debut album that shared the same name. And that’s not the only reason it feels special.
Timing That Tells a Tale
She chose to pop the online store live at 9:29 a.m.—exactly 9 minutes and 29 seconds, a sweet nod to the date that has a little extra magic in it: September 29, 2009, the day she and Chris tied the knot. That little Easter egg gives every snap of her order a cherry‑on‑top of love.
Tasting the Future—Without the Kitchen Overload
Instead of cooling all her creations in a single kitchen, she’s teamed up with a licensed baker who can keep up with the sweet demand. Nine‑school‑years of hard‑growing doughing and whisk‑winging are now teamed with a professional who’s ready to scale out. The result? More dessert lovers on the planet can try her treats, and Fann gets to keep her creative sanity intact.
So there you go—hugs, hash‑tails, and a whole stack of baked goodies, all ready for you to indulge. Feel free to click on the link at the bottom and dive into the world of Fanntasy—express your love with a sweet bite today!

My honest review of the Fanntasy tarts
Signature Valrhona Chocolate Tart, $58
Indulgent Chocolate Tart: A Slice of Sweet Bliss
What Makes It So Irresistible?
- Valrhona 70% Dark Chocolate Cremeux – rich, slightly bitter, and the sweetheart of the dish.
- Almond Sponge – gives the tart a nutty, chewy bite that never feels over‑done.
- Chocolate Sable Base – crisp, buttery, the perfect crunch for every forkful.
- Gold Dust Sprinkle – the glamorous topper that turns this dessert into an Instagram headline.
First Taste
When you take that initial bite, the tart isn’t a sugar bomb—no, it stays gentle and balanced. The darkness of the chocolate puts a gentle pinch of bitterness, so you’re never swamped by sweetness.
Texture, Texture, Texture
The cremeux sits just in the sweet spot: not sticky, not thick. It glides down your throat like a smooth slide at an amusement park, leaving you craving that next heavenly bite.
Why It’s a Mood‑Lift in a Pan
Think of this tart as a chocolate hug combined with a pop‑of-gold glitter. It’s the kind of dessert that keeps you smiling, snaps a pic for the ‘gram, and satisfies a craving without feeling like a dessert‑induced sugar crash.
Chocolate Sable Tart: The Crunchy Chaos
Picture this: you’re at the kitchen table with a freshly baked chocolate sable tart, ready to bite into that heavenly crunch. But suddenly, the slice turns into a wild, jack‑knife adventure. Every bite looks like a chunky masterpiece—so much so, I almost soy‑implored my dessert to become a deconstructed masterpiece.
Why the Sable is a Snack‑of‑The‑Month Award Winner
- Crunch factor: The chocolate sable gives it a bold chip that’s hard to resist.
- Appearance issues: It’s tough to slice cleanly; each bite ends up being a “chunk of creamy joy.”
- Sweet finale: Towards the very tip of the slice, the tart gets sweeter than a sugar‑addict’s dream.
And because all the sweetness feels like an invisible waterfall, I had to grab a cup of water just to keep my sense of balance.
Overall mood: Fun-but-frustrating.
Fanntastic Rating: 8.5/10 (for the crunch, not the slicing)
Musang King Gula Melaka Tart, $68
Musang King Gula Melaka Tart: A Sweet and Salty Durian Delight
Why Durian Is the Royal Soul of Singapore
Durian isn’t just a fruit in Singapore—it’s a passion. When you’re dealing with the iconic Musang King, you’re in for a treat that feels like a royal banquet. That’s why the Musang King Gula Melaka Tart is stealing the spotlight!
The Flavor Adventure
- Fresh, Pure Pulp: The tart is packed with real Musang King, giving that unmistakable durian aroma without the “overpowering house‑fridge” effect.
- Gula Melaka Sauce: Sweet, syrupy, and warm‑to‑the‑heart—just enough to complement the fruit, not steal the show.
- Buttery “Sable” Touch: A subtle buttery note that balances the sweetness, creating a delicious sweet‑and‑salty symphony you’ll want to replay.
- Coconut Flakes: A light crunch that adds a subtle tropical twist, keeping your palate dancing.
Tea‑time Perfection
Pairing the tart with a gentle cup of green rooibos tea was a masterstroke. The tea’s mild bitterness cuts through the sweet layers, and you’ll end up feeling a subtle “I’m in love with this combo” glow. It’s the kind of pairing that, honestly, made the whole afternoon feel like a mini celebration.
Final Verdict (and the “Fanntastic” Rating)
All in all, this Musang King Gula Melaka Tart is a near‑perfect sweet treat that respects its distillery: it’s sweet, but not sensational; salty, but not snappy. It’s a balanced pleasure for the senses. If you’re after something that you can share with friends—or keep all to yourself, that’s the mood—just give this tart a go.
Fanntastic rating: 9.5/10
Final thoughts
The Sweetest Pick‑up Winners
In the world of bakeries, the Musang King Gula Melaka Tart and its twin Musang King Chocolate Tart have been stealing the spotlight. If you’re a self‑proclaimed health‑conscious foodie, you can easily turn these desserts into a lighter‑sugar option—just taste a bit less and you’re good to go.
What Makes Them Irresistible?
- Let’s face it, they look gorgeous. A few snaps on your feed and suddenly everyone’s asking for the recipe.
- They’re perfect for chest‑to‑chest “family and friends” gatherings or that extra‑special celebratory brunch.
- The texture? Layer upon layer of flaky crust, sweet filling, and a hint of caramelized Gula Melaka—or smooth chocolate, if you prefer.
Price Tag – Not as Bad as It Seems
People keep shouting “That’s outrageous!” on social media, but crunch the numbers and it’s actually on par with café treats.
A 7‑inch tart splits into eight slices, so each piece costs between $7.25 and $8.50 – a sweet spot that lines up with what you’d pay for a fancy dessert downstairs.
Flavor Verdict
If you had to pick just one, the Musang King Gula Melaka Tart would win the crown. Its combination of deep fruit flavor, buttery caramel, and the nostalgic sweetness of Gula Melaka delivers a more unforgettable bite than the chocolate version.
