It was good. It has a flaky pastry and creamy and pretty sweet egg custard. I prefer it to be a little less sweet. It was good but I am sure that there are better one out there.

Honolulu Cafe has pretty good review from many as well so I thought it would be worthwhile trying out. I visited the Wan Chai outlet and bought 1 lovely delish looking egg tart.

The tart was likewise the flaky type and it was buttery. The egg custard was creamy and sweetness level was ok for me. Instead of the flavour of egg custard lingering in the mouth, it was the sugary sweet that lingered. I think it was a pity.

The egg tarts baked by Hoi An Cafe was excellent. It has a shortcrust pastry. The pastries has a very good balance of butter and it melts in the mouth. The egg custard was soft and eggy enough. The sweetness was just excellent. This egg tart is as good as the Tai Cheong Bakery if not better. Personally I feel that it edge over Tai Cheong Bakery. It’s a close fight

Sakurashima Bakery bakes both the shortcrust and flaky pastries egg tart. I bought one each to try. Both the pastries were well made but the amount were too thick for each small egg tart. In contrast, the egg custard was a too little.
