If you’re looking for a dessert that isn’t too sweet on the tongue, you’d find egg tarts a perfect fit to finish off a meal. An egg tart is made up of a pastry crust that could either be flaky or delicately crisp and is filled with a creamy, silky egg custard. These little tarts have just the right level of sweetness, so you could eat as much as you want without immediately getting too umay, because you definitely won’t stop snacking on this after one piece. Craving already? Check out these shops where you can order egg tarts around the metro:
