Development of the dish

Even though egg tarts are popular among Hong Kong people, their history in Hong Kong is still very short. According to Wu Hao, an amateur scholar of Hong Kong history, egg tarts appeared in Guangzhou in the 1920s, when major department stores were competing fiercely, and in order to attract customers, the chefs of the department stores would design a "weekly snack" every week as a solicitation.

There is no exact year for the introduction of egg tarts in Hong Kong, but some people say that egg tarts have appeared in Hong Kong bakeries since the 1940s, and that they were introduced to most Hong Kong style cafes from the 1950s to the 1980s. At the beginning of the teahouse egg tarts are relatively large, an egg tart can become an afternoon tea meal. And the flavor was sweet and mellow, fluffy and delicious.

Since the 1990s, the number of cafes that also serve bakery products has gradually decreased, so now only the old cafes have home-baked egg tarts, while other cafes order egg tarts from bakeries to serve their customers. On the other hand, many restaurants in Hong Kong also include egg tarts (small egg tarts) in their snacks. There are also diet-friendly egg tarts, where the custard is made from egg white.
