You would think that where they originate from would be authentic and delicious but sadly not unless you get them from expensive hotels or restaurants.
Anyway, I have been put off Chinese food in Hong Kong that I forgot I used to like it.
On a recent visit to China Town, I saw these glistening egg tarts and other goodies so I ended up getting them.
The egg tarts were just how they should be, the pastry was light with many layers and the filling was dreamy and not too sweet.
Also had the custard pie (which is a modern version of the wife cake - lo poh beng filled with Chinese style custard).
The custard pie was another delicious treat and best warmed up where the layers of pastry are like thin sheets of tissue paper contrasted by the sweet filling in the middle.
All year round at Chinatown bakery, they also have the pandan lotus mooncake.
Again another must have if you like pandan.
It has a really fragrant pandan aftertaste.
