On I remember Tai Pan. I like it. That being said, Manhattan Chinatown does not have bad egg tart. Every stores are ranging from good to very good.

I like this one. Harperās Bread House. But again, everything is pretty good in Manhattan for egg tarts.

I like harpers too, sun sai gai was also a favorite but sadly they no longer make baked goods.
Would you know if Harperās makes their own crust from scratch?
@vinouspleasure I am a simple man. I like the fact that their Chinese name is āEgg Tart Kingā. Moreover, their egg tarts are indeed not bad.
@bmorecupcake Sorry. I do not know. I hope they do, but I do not have proof.

lol, Iāve also been to double crispy and thought it pretty good. near our town in westchester there was a now defunct portuguese bakery which made pasteis de nata with a cookie crust, it was fabulous. perhaps next winter Iāll try to reproduce it in our kitchen.
I donāt know but would guess they do. next time Iām there Iāll ask.

Oh yes, I like that place too. I used to get my egg tarts the most from Harperās Bread and Double Crispy. I just didnāt remember that is its English name. I only remember the Chinese name is Portuguese Tart King.

Iāve cleared as much of that window as I can.
I know that a couple of interested posters arenāt going to be around that week, but thatās okay ā we can set up something for those who are here and then go from there with future gatherings. Soā¦ Iād like to do this one at a date/time that you (Dave Cook) & Saregama can definitely attend. Iām assuming that we still want to go to Wuās ā if not, let me know. So, howās Monday 6/27 for dinner? If not, Tuesday 6/28 for either lunch or dinner works for me. As soon as we decide, itād be great if small_h, bkeats and others whoāve expressed interest can join in. Iām pretty sure that vinouspleasure & jen kalb said theyād be away & food dabbler may be in Mass., but I might be wrong. Soā¦ letās get this show on the road.
Monday, June 27 might be difficult for me at dinnertime. Tuesday is good for either lunch or dinner. The other Chinatown restaurant that quickly comes to mind for a gathering is Uncle Lou, on Mulberry St. (I havenāt been), but itās closed on Tuesday. Maybe we can consider it for an encore get-together.
I would love to go, and I am around that week. It will depend on how well my new hip is doing in a few weeks - itās five days old today!
To be clear, this is indoors, right? (Donāt worry; no judgments will be stated, but I wonāt come if itās indoors.)
Looks like Dave Cook, Saregama & I are all in for Wuās for dinner on Tues, June 28, with small_h (fully recovered no doubt) making it 4. Its 99% that itāll be indoors, as thatās where the round group tables are & I believe that the service, etc is much better (sorry, Pan). Weāre gonna try to cap this group at 8, but I guess we could go a little higher if needed. Soā¦ start responding if youāre available & interested. Itāll be nice to do some face to face stuff.
Unfortunately, youāre right.
New thread created to organize this meal:
Please post there if youāre interested.
(fooddabbler: next time)
iām in!

Best of luck! My girlfriendās mother had both her hips replaced over 15 years ago, is in her 80s, and walks an hour every day!
Great. But you get reprimanded for responding on the wrong thread 
. Are you back in NYC yet?
Thanks! Iām up to 20:00. Or I was - yesterday I tore my iliopsoas and THATāS a delight, lemme tell you. At least the implant is fine.
