One of my favourite things are Portuguese Egg Tarts. When I discovered that they were available right around the corner from where I was staying, I couldn't be happier.
As I entered the bakery, there it was, in the glass case near the door: a whole heaping tray of the golden yellow egg tarts!! I got in line right away and ordered one dozen. All for myself. Because when else would I be able to eat all these tarts?
I brought them back to my place, heated one up, and indulged in a delicious custard-egg filled tart. The custard's consistency was just perfect, and not too sweet. The layers of flaky pastry crust was light and so buttery.
These were so good that I had to go back the next day. In case you were wondering, I didn't finish the initial dozen all to myself. I bought another half dozen, so that I could bring it back to Vancouver with me to enjoy the Portuguese goodness.
