I used to love to get these things when I was in China

Sometimes they also wrote it 葡式蛋塔 - that's how it was labeled in my local bakery but probably a mistake. I assumed 葡式 meant Portuguese style, but maybe not? If so Portugal might be the best place to get them, not China? Anyway, my ignorance is on full display!

We call it 葡撻 (portugese egg tart / pastel de nata ). Read this for more information.

It is a bit out of my imagination. I couldn't tell what is the difference between 广式 and 葡式蛋挞. I have read those process to make 葡式蛋挞. It almost the same as I make 广式蛋挞. Can anyone tell me what is the difference between two when you taste it?

Thanks very much!

I think it is 港式, not 廣式.

And compare the photo in this post and that in #2 above. Don't you think there is a difference?

The 葡式 ones look burned and not as pretty. Why is that? What does this have to do with Portugal?

Haha! I've tasted both kinds and the ones in #2 above are definitely 更好吃！

The 葡式 ones look burned and not as pretty. Why is that?

burnt caramel (I guess)

I am not a pro, from the recipe I can't see the big difference. Guess I have to give up the ideal of making one by myself. Yummy Portugese egg tar, when can I have a taste?

I am planning for a trip to Portugal in October and have come across this travel log which says "Pasteis de nata=new addiction!!!"

The famous pastries are a custard tart with a very flaky crust and topped with cinnamon and or powdered sugar. Ours were fresh from the oven and were delicious!! They aren´t very big and after two each we were tempted to order a couple more but decided two were enough...for now.
