I am a tourist from Malaysia. Having been told by many friends who have visited Tai Cheong bakery that their egg tart is an obligatory snack which one can't afford to miss, I decided to make a foodie trip to HK in early December. The egg tarts are so perfectly done and almost all the tarts look identical. I was so impressed with the skill of the pastry chef who can produce such brilliant masterpiece by hand. When I sunk my teeth into the piping hot egg tart, I found that the custard was indeed very smooth. The cookie pastry and the wobbly custard are a great combination that makes one just can't stop at one. I ended up wolfing down 2 egg tarts at one go. However, the custard lacks a bit eggy taste. It actually tastes a little too bland compared to the egg tarts which I've tasted in other stalls.
As a whole, Tai Cheong's egg tarts are definitely the right tarts to go for. I personally give a thumbs-up to this infamous tart in HK which gained its victory over the good remarks given by the former governor, Chris Patten. Keep it up, Tai Cheong!
