I went back for the egg tarts. I made an effort to go early as I am determined to get those egg tarts this time. They claimed their egg tarts are as good as the famous egg tarts from the famous Tai Cheong Bakery in Hong Kong. I am a frequent traveler to Hong Kong and i ate it often enough to compare the taste.

They claimed their egg tarts are as good as the famous egg tarts from the famous Tai Cheong Bakery in Hong Kong. I am a frequent traveler to Hong Kong and i ate it often enough to compare the taste. I was lucky to get hold of the last few egg tarts of that day. The appearance of these egg tarts did not quite stand out. Firstly, these egg tarts are not fresh from oven. They have been pre-baked and left it there to sell. First to notice is the crust is not as buttery nor crumbly and it does not melt in the mouth. The custard fared slightly better. It is rather sweet, creamy with nice eggy taste. I would very much prefer the egg tarts to have flaky pastry rather than the traditional pie crust. I gotta try the Salted Egg Custard buns too. The skin of these buns is rather thick. If you left it for too long, it tends to be a little harder. The salted egg custard filling is not enough to have the exploding effect so it did not get to flow out as expected. It has got a creamy texture but the salted egg taste is not as dominating.
Though not an expert in the Salted Egg Custard Bun but this is not amongst the best that i ever eaten. Average tasting dim sum at reasonable pricing. Though not the best but not a bad choice.
