You can find an egg tart at any dim sum table.
Just look for a small flaky pastry filled with creamy yellow custard. Depending on its colonial influences, it will have a caramelized exterior (the Portuguese influence in Macau) or a smooth, glossy finish (the British influence in Hong Kong).
If you are lucky, it will be warm when you snatch it from the dim sum cart. Better yet, try out our recipe for fresh egg tarts straight from the oven!
