Tai Cheong Bakery

Central·$

Cheese Egg Tart

HKD18.00

Traditional egg tart with a layer of melted cheddar cheese baked into the custard

Tip: The cheese adds a subtle savory note that cuts through the sweetness of the custard

Bakehouse

Wan Chai·$$

Bakehouse Egg Tart

HKD12.00

Swiss pastry chef Gregoire's take on the Hong Kong classic—lighter custard, more delicate pastry

Tip: This is different from Tai Cheong's—Gregoire uses less sugar and lets the eggs shine through

Tai Cheong Bakery

Central·$

Portuguese Custard Tart (Larger Size)

HKD28.00

A bigger version of the original, about 50% larger, perfect for sharing or if you're extra hungry

Tip: The ratio of pastry to custard changes at this size—more filling means more richness

Tim Ho Wan

Sham Shui Po·$

Baked Egg Custard Tart (Dan Tat)

HKD22.00

Crispy pastry shell with a barely-set custard filling that wobbles when you pick it up. Some places make the filling too stiff - Tim Ho Wan nails the texture.

Tip: Order these last in your meal. They're served warm and the filling is liquid-soft when fresh. Eat immediately after they arrive at your table.

Ho Hung Kee

Causeway Bay·$

HKD8.00

Baked pastry shell with a barely-set custard filling that wobbles when carried to the table. Crispy on the outside, custard soft inside.

Tip: Order this at the end of your meal. Egg tarts cool quickly, so eat while warm. The custard should be slightly runny in the center.

Tai Cheong Bakery

Central·$

Milo Egg Tart

HKD18.00

Egg tart infused with Milo powder, creating a malted chocolate-like custard filling

Tip: This is a creative Hong Kong twist. The malt flavor is subtle, not like eating chocolate.

Hung Wan Cafe

Mong Kok·$$

Signature Egg Tart

HKD9.00

Flaky pastry shell with a creamy custard filling. Warm and buttery, a classic cha chaan teng staple.

Tip: Buy multiple—they're small and addictive.

Tai Cheong Bakery

Central·$

Original Egg Tart

HKD12.00

Iconic Portuguese custard tart with flaky pastry shell and silky, slightly caramelized egg custard filling

Tip: Eat it warm straight from the counter—the pastry shatters when fresh and melts as it cools
