I have been admiring Egg Custard Tarts from afar for awhile now, but did not get to actually try them until recently.

I knew I had to get some Egg Custard Tarts after I finished "Strong Girl Bong-soon" -- they looked so good in this drama. My biggest takeaway since I started watching Asian Dramas is that the food looks delicious-- whether it's ramen, hotpot, grilled meats, or bakery items-- and this is especially the case in "Strong Girl Bong-soon."

The title character, Bong-soon's parents have a walnut and tart bakery shop therefore we see a few shots in the shop and of the pies and tarts, particuraly what appears to be a walnut pie and, of course, egg tarts.

This was one of the first times egg tarts really caught my attention-- it just looked so golden, flaky, and delicious whenever it appeared.

Then to make my desire to try Egg Custard Tart even stronger, I see these pictures of these particular boys enjoying some--

I couldn't help but think, "They MUST be good if BTS likes them. They've never steered me wrong yet when it comes to food." (i.e., J-Hope and Kimchi Fried Rice)

So, I took these as food recommendation and ordered some when I went for Dim Sum at a Chinese restaurant recently.

Dim sum (Chinese: ι»εΏ; Cantonese Yale: dΓmsΔm) is a style of Chinese cuisine of food prepared as small bite-sized portions.
Usually, it is served in small
steamer baskets or on small plates.
It is often served with tea, making a tea brunch.

The egg tart (commonly romanized as daahn tΔat) is a kind of custard tart in Hong Kong, China, Taiwan, Macau, Brazil, Portugal, Britain, and various Asian countries.

Egg tart has an outer pastry crust and is filled with egg custard, then baked.

If you are used to pies with pudding filling, this is a similar idea, but it is custard instead of pudding. This means that it is a bit thicker or firmer. These egg tarts are sort of similar to English custard tarts, but the egg tarts are not sprinkled with anything like cinnamon or nutmeg. Additionally, egg tarts are usually served piping hot-- fresh from the oven while English custard tarts are often served at room temperature. Mind you, the egg tarts I received were at room temperature.

Overall, the dish is rich but not too sweet nor is it overwhelming. π€· Although I enjoyed them, I could only eat one. I just like a contrast and variety with my foods and Dim Sum is good for that. Grab a friend and have some together.

Trivia: "During the 1920s, as there was tough competition between department stores in attracting customers, the chef of each department store would invent a new dim sum or dessert weekly (ζ―ι±ηΎι») as an attraction. This was when egg tarts first appeared in Guangzhou. Later in the 1940s and 1950s, lots of the chefs migrated to Hong Kong and brought recipes with them. Hence, a Hong Kong style of egg tarts emerged." - paper.wenweipo.com

"Today, egg tarts come in many variations within Hong Kong cuisine, including egg white, milk, honey-egg, ginger-flavoured egg, which are variations of a traditional milk custard and egg custard, and also chocolate tarts, green-tea-flavoured tarts, and even bird's nest tarts." - "Behind the scenes of Hong Kong's most loved egg tart bakery"
