Tong (originally Tong Si-ying) was born in British Hong Kong to an Indonesian Chinese mother, Tong Got Seung-ping. She grew up in Hong Kong-Cantonese culture and has a mixed ancestry of Fujianese, Indonesian, and Dutch heritage.

Tong joined TVB in 2003 and became a prolific television actress. Her early work included supporting and lead roles in series such as Hearts of Fencing, Just Love, Under the Canopy of Love, A Watchdog's Tale, and The Comeback Clan. In 2017, she received critical acclaim and won the TVB Anniversary Award for Best Actress for her role in My Unfair Lady. In 2019, she starred in Big White Duel, earning nominations for Best Actress and Most Popular Female Character at the TVB Anniversary Awards. By 2022, Tong decided not to renew her TVB contract due to declining opportunities and industry changes. After 19 years with the company, Natalie officially left TVB in September 2022.

After leaving TVB, Tong declared that she was shifting her career to stage plays and becoming a screenwriter. She developed a story inspired by her personal life. The play focuses on a couple’s divorce and the daughter’s experiences, drawing from Tong’s own experiences. In addition, Tong co‑opened a Japanese‑style bakery in Causeway Bay, which has become popular and draws customers daily. She has been hands‑on in the business and shared her baking journey on social media. Tong also travelled for culinary learning and promotional appearances. However, the bakery's success was short-lived as now it's in decline, with customers citing pricing as an issue. She also filmed travel segments for HOY TV and participated in other variety content after her TVB departure. In 2025, she made her stage debut in the play Yerma.
