#Portuguese egg tart

Bought these pastries from Mei Kee Bakery (美記餅家) in Yishun Bus Interchange. The cinnamon-scented Apple Tart used to cost just S$1.50 but had since gone up to S$2 apiece, a whopping increase of S$0.50! Likewise for the caramelized Portuguese Egg Tart from S$1.50 to S$2 each. Do refresh the tarts in the oven if you are eating them the next day as the pastry shell will get soggy.

Chong Yuen Fong, 7 E Valley Blvd, Alhambra, CA 91801

As you’d suspect from the name, CYF is very Chinese. The co-founder is from Guangzhou/Hong Kong and he founded Coconut Jelly King (which is in the same strip mall and has multiple locations). I’m a fan of Coconut Jelly King…Chong Yuen Fong, not so much. The offerings are very limited and include two rice dishes and Chinese (Cantonese) wellness/herbal soups (3 different soups per day). They also have freshly baked egg tarts and cheese tarts.
Portuguese egg tart ($1.38): It was nice – a delicate, flaky shell (not as thick as other places) but thin with a creamy, eggy filling. The egg flavor was pretty mild. It was on the sweeter side.
Cheese lava tarts ($2.48): The crust was like a crispy, delicate shortbread cookie and the filling was very soft and tasted like cream cheese/cheesecake. It was richer/heavier than the egg tart.
The tarts definitely tasted fresh. They weren’t the best that I’ve had but they were made with skill. Unfortunately, there isn’t much else there that one can purchase. As I was waiting for my turn to order, the woman in front of me wanted to order some soup. They only had one kind of soup that day. She asked about something else on the menu and they didn’t have that either.
Parking was easy to find (shared strip mall parking lot). The décor was interesting, reminiscent of old China in the 1930’s?
3.5 out of 5 stars

gd cafe 好饮咖啡馆, cheras traders square.
saw this very popular chinese style kopitiam/cafe recently and thought of giving it a try, finally had the chance last week and came here for lunch. the place is really quite packed, luckily there was no queue at that time.
ordered their signature coffee with cow shaped coffee ice, portuguese egg tarts and cheesy pork burger to try. the coffee was a disappointment in terms of presentation as the ice shape was crushed, it doesn’t look like a cute cow anymore, as compared to the menu photo, the taste was okay but it takes quite a long time for the ice to melt to mix with the coffee to give you the aroma and bitter taste.
portuguese egg tart were not so nice, the egg custard is quite tasteless and it doesn’t smell good at all, which is key when it comes to egg tart, i’m surprised at the food quality seeing everyone seems to enjoy the food. cheesy pork burger was alright, nothing to shout about and it is quite basic without any sides.
overall we feel quite cheated because we expected better quality food as it was so popular and sometimes there’s even queue to get seated. the ambiance is also quite noisy since it’s crowded and there’s not much space in between tables. the pricing was quite reasonable though.

Watching a cooking video on youtube and wondering if they're just not great at this or if egg tarts are supposed to be burnt. Like hi that last one the crust was black are you sure you meant to post this?

As Singapore economy started to revive from the COVID-19 pandemic, the once shuttered stalls at Yishun Bus Interchange get a new lease of life. Took noticed of this relatively new stall - Mei Kee Bakery (美記餅家) by Bakery Cuisine selling baked buns and pastries as I often walked pass it to board the bus home. The Portuguese Egg Tart (S$1) with the burnt surface of the custard was gorgeous looking. Like the taro tart above, the crust was buttery thin and filled with golden egg custard that filled the mouth with sweet creamy eggy taste and nutty caramel flavours.

I was attracted to their Ginkgo Taro Tart (S$1.50) filled with lavender coloured yam paste. The tart shell is thin and crumbly which fall apart as I sliced into it to reveal a single ginkgo nut. I enjoyed the buttery crust but the mildly sweet paste do seem to be creamy/floury and lack the prominent yam flavour I am expecting. Maybe replacing the ginkgo nut with a few cubes of yam would have make this a better yam tart.
Tumblr media
The Apple Tart (S$1.50) with its cinnamon-scented apples that are sweet and carry hint of tartness came topped with sandy crumbles. I would enjoy this over a cup of hot tea for a late afternoon snack.

Portuguese Egg Tarts These sweet and golden Portuguese egg tarts are incredibly simple to make using a boxed pie crust mixture.
