[Verdict: Terryfic 👍🏻] I love eating egg tarts. When I saw @microbakerykitchen Sourdough Egg Tart ($3.50), I told myself I’d get some to try since I can’t go to Hong Kong to try @bakehousehk ones any time soon. They are only available on the weekends in limited quantities. So get it if you see it.
At first glance it looks like any other Portuguese egg tart with that scorched top and puff pastry. But you’ll notice the difference once you bite into that thin, flaky, crispy crust. That mellow tang of sourdough in the pastry is just so welcoming that you’ll be so eager for a second bite.
They got it right with the egg custard. It’s smooth and supple that will get you yearning for more. So eggy yet not too cloying and sweet.
Nothing can beat the legendary Pasteis de Belem in Lisbon as that’s a class on its own. Nevertheless, I’ll have this again.
