History of the egg tart

That was great. Thank you!

I was so intrigued to read about what I thought was connection to Portugal and to eat them there. Basically I figured it was a colony situation.

This was interesting;

“Some fans assume it has Portuguese origins because of its similar flaky crust to the pastel de nata, but it’s believed that the daan tat is actually a variation of the British custard tart.”

Wikipedia says KFC bought the recipe!

Apparently the is a Macau style egg tart that is more like the Portuguese pastel de nata.
