“Very fragrant custard, though still eggy. Tallest egg tart by far. Much more custard than crust; leading to a slightly soggy and compact bottom. Crust around the edges are still flaky though. The runner up.”

Get the egg tart. People rank it with the best in Chinatown, tall and heavy on custard with a flaky edge, and the portuguese egg tart has its own following.
