Flaky crust and a creamy custard, the perfect egg custard tart made by Leung Sang Hong Kong Pastries is quite popular amidst the regulars. They serve two varieties, Leung Sang Egg Tart and Western Egg Tart, both of which are really tasty and can lead to overindulgence, but then this is why we love egg tarts, don’t we? The bakery also has many other drool-worthy items on their window - Egg Yolk & Lotus Seed Pastry, Roasted Chicken Pastry and Mooncakes.
