Because, I have to confess, I'm snob like you when it comes to egg tarts. In Paris, the best egg tarts can't compete with the standard egg tarts of Hong Kong... <br />And like you I told my son (who is fond of these tarts like me) that I'll make them.

Even though you were disappointed, your son probably thinks it's the best! Well, sometimes, we have to learn the "hard way", and after that, we just totally struck it off our list of recipes! :pPassionate About Bakinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02454478587314315169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4805570821469912515.post-24732720349272837072012-02-06T11:55:06.749+08:002012-02-06T11:55:06.749+08:00I hear you.

So now, I've resigned my egg tarts to a puff pastry base instead .... bad form. But luckily I'm not fussy when it comes to egg tarts. For what it's worth, I think your tarts look very nice and the filling looks beautifully smooth!pinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03425142391134523753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4805570821469912515.post-14713582669879468252012-02-06T09:39:50.013+08:002012-02-06T09:39:50.013+08:00HHB, I had some easy egg tart recipes over at my b...HHB, I had some easy egg tart recipes over at my blog that you might be interested. <br /><br />BTW, hop over I have an award for you.Edithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12743536843148739774noreply@blogger.com
