sarahkuang Posted August 25, 2006 at 06:34 PM Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 at 06:34 PM I only heard about it. When it became popular in my hometown I was abroad.

Xiao Kui Posted August 25, 2006 at 06:53 PM Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 at 06:53 PM Click here to see a picture of some http://meiweidiy.q88.net/shop/images_shop/2005-11-29/DT2005129169369.jpg Of course any time yo uwant to see a picture of something you can enter the term in Google image search. Just go to google.com and click on images then enter your search. 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!

skylee Posted August 25, 2006 at 11:46 PM Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 at 11:46 PM We call it 葡撻 (portugese egg tart / pastel de nata ). Read this for more information. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarahkuang Posted August 26, 2006 at 06:01 PM Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2006 at 06:01 PM 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!

skylee Posted August 26, 2006 at 10:57 PM Report Share Posted August 26, 2006 at 10:57 PM 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gato Posted August 27, 2006 at 12:58 AM Report Share Posted August 27, 2006 at 12:58 AM The 葡式 ones look burned and not as pretty. Why is that? What does this have to do with Portugal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xiao Kui Posted August 27, 2006 at 01:15 AM Report Share Posted August 27, 2006 at 01:15 AM Haha! I've tasted both kinds and the ones in #2 above are definitely 更好吃！ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skylee Posted August 27, 2006 at 01:19 AM Report Share Posted August 27, 2006 at 01:19 AM The 葡式 ones look burned and not as pretty. Why is that? burnt caramel (I guess) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarahkuang Posted August 27, 2006 at 02:55 PM Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2006 at 02:55 PM 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skylee Posted August 28, 2006 at 01:56 PM Report Share Posted August 28, 2006 at 01:56 PM 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
