I love European bakeries and have an affinity for family run Portuguese ones predominantly for one thing, Portuguese tarts! They may look like Chinese egg tarts that have been accidentally burnt to a crisp, but they maybe one of the most omnomeriffic (tm) things in the world.
I was introduced to my first tart as a child by some Portuguese related family of mine and I've been addicted to them ever since.
On my recent trip to Macau, I went on a crazy hunting trip for these little suckers where some of the best in the world are made. Unfortunately THE most well known place there "Annie's Bakery" was closed, but I still packed in 3 or 4 from several places (and if you happen to know the calorie count for these bad boys you'd know that's about a days worth).
The ones from Nova here are as favourably comparable to any of the ones I had in Macau. They're crispy, light, and the filling wasn't ridonckulously sweet.
Best part is they serve "Canadiana Coffee" a la Tim Hortons like coffee, but if you're a connoisseur they have traditional espresso's, latte's and other italian/french sounding names for coffee.
If I was retired and living in the neighbourhood, I'd be there every day and have one of these bad boy tarts till my heart explodes so I could die in a yummy peace.
