Now the egg tart that cooperates with KFC is Margaret Egg Tart, which is known as "the best egg tart shop in Macau". You can eat egg tarts everywhere, but Macao must not miss Portuguese egg tarts. The taste is sweet but not greasy, soft, and the freshly baked skin is crispy, which is especially delicious.
The method is to put the cake crust into a small round pot-shaped cake mold, then pour in the egg liquid mixed with sugar and eggs, and then put it in the oven. The baked egg tart has a crispy crust on the outer layer and a sweet yellow solidified egg paste on the inner layer. At first, the egg tarts in tea restaurants were relatively large, and one egg tart could be used as an afternoon tea meal. Many restaurants in China SAR also serve egg tarts.
The development history of egg tart
Although egg tart is very popular in Hong Kong, its history in Hong Kong is not long. According to the research of Wu Hao, an amateur Hong Kong historian, in the1920s, there was fierce competition among the major department stores in Guangzhou. In order to attract customers, department store chefs design a "weekly beauty spot" every week to attract customers, and it is at this time that egg tarts appeared in Guangzhou.
There is no exact year when egg tarts were introduced into Hong Kong. Some people say that egg tarts appeared in Hong Kong cake shops from the 1960s+0940s, and entered most tea restaurants from the 1960s+0950s to the 1960s+0980s. At first, the egg tarts in tea restaurants were relatively large, and an egg tart could become an afternoon tea meal. And the taste is sweet and mellow, soft and delicious. Since 1990' s, the number of tea restaurants that also serve bread has gradually decreased, so now only the old-style tea restaurants have their own baked egg tarts, while other tea restaurants order egg tarts from the bread factory.
