Tai Cherng @ Hong Kong (Central - Ba Fai Ave)

Let me tell you about these egg tarts that looked pretty normal, but when you popped them into your mouth it was like an explosion of flavors! Yes! Finally egg tarts in Hong Kong! We walked up to this small store front, and well the egg tarts looked like your average egg tart, didn't have this "wow" factor to them. It honestly looked like egg tarts from random bakeries in San Francisco. Well, little did I know when we brought them back to eat, it was like "whooooaaaaaaaaa."

Crust - buttery like you've never known buttery to be. It was slightly sweet and more salty than that to complement the custard. The crust was ohhh so flakey. I think this crust was made with butter, as opposed to some places that uses lard. Yes even the Chinese use lard, but majority of us just look the other way and pretend it's not used, it makes us feel better. ha!

Custard - ohhh so goey and creamy and sweet and well....smooth! the whole egg tart was fresh and warm, so it like melted in your mouth and all the way down  your tummy. The best I've had, and wayyy better than Golden Gate Bakery in San Francisco.
