Scrumptious Egg tarts

It was a rainy, chilly afternoon and I had this sudden crave for portuguese egg tarts and if you've not tasted this irresistible dessert before, you're missing out on some sweet, mouth-watering, fragrant egg custard.

In my previous trip to Macau, I had the best, authentic Portuguese Egg Tarts and the entire tart was tasty enough to be gobbled up in seconds. The crust was flaky and richly creamy and the custard was smooth and sinfully delicious. Those were the best portuguese egg tarts I ever had in my lifetime.

So far, one of the better egg tarts I've tasted can be found in Carnarvon St, Penang. Never mind the price, the egg tarts here are very enticing to the taste buds, in terms of its delicate flaky pastry, freshness and wobbly filling. The eggs-cellent treats are selling like hot cakes the moment they arrived at the shop.

Personally, I prefer the Portuguese style egg tarts to the normal egg tarts. While the original version at times crumbly and less flaky, the Portuguese egg tart literally tasted much better and I could feel the fragrant custard oozing out on first bite. The sweetness is just perfect for me. Hmmm........incredibly yummy.

Hungry now? I am.

Tasty Puffs

Most of us would probably have eaten curry puffs countless times, but have you tried the unique variations like Crispy Durian Puffs, Pandan Chicken Puffs or other flavours? Crispy puffs or curry puffs are a quintessential snack in Malaysia and they have been one of my all time favourite snacks since childhood.

We heard about a bakery that serves probably the best tasty puffs in town and it’s located at Lagenda Heights, near Alor Setar. They have a wide range of puffs and I love the piping hot puffs with their irresistible crispy pastry.

this outlet offers unique crispy puffs of savoury varieties

The crispy puffs are made fresh daily and stamped with a symbol to differentiate their respective fillings.

This is durian puff filled with durian puree. I just love this piping hot puff when the durian filling ozzes out of the thin ultra crispy pastry. It's soft, fragrant and richly creamy. The sweetness is just right for me. Hmmm..........so yum, yum. Priced at RM2.50 each, the huge tasty pufffs are selling like hot cakes here and the quantities are actually quite limited. Every mouthful bite releases the sumptuous taste of durian, in fact I almost felt like eating the aromatic fruit.

Since the durian puffs was such a hit, I ordered the pandan chicken puff which is equally tantalising to the taste buds. Priced at RM1.80 each, the aromatic puff is filled with delicious chunks of chicken, potatoes and a quarter of a hard-boiled egg in a thin and crunchy crust. Hmmm......so sinfully delicious!
