Their egg tarts are known to be one of the best in HK. Besides the creamy and velvety smooth custard, what truly make Tai Cheong’s egg tart special and different from others is the cookie-crust base. Read more

Best Egg Tarts in HK, attested by Chris Patten and yours truly. Eggy, jiggly, and mildly sweet, Tai Cheong reigns supreme over the island's 'dan ta' offerings! Beignets ('sa yung') also tasty treat.

Best egg tart I've ever had, left me wanting seconds! And... I'm not even an egg tart fan! Although other tips say $5 per egg tart, it is now $6 per egg tart. Gotta love inflation.

Awesome egg tart. Definitely recommended. The crust is crispy and tasty at the same time, while the custard is smooth and creamy. You don’t want to miss this!

Best Egg Tarts in Hong Kong - The egg tarts literally melt in your mouth. The crispy crust & creamy egg custard tasted better than those sold in Macau! Recommended by Chris Patten, last Governor!

I absolutely love egg tarts & these are the best I've ever eaten. Butter style egg tarts which are light, crumbly, creamy & delicious. One is isn't enough!

I usually dont eat these kind of things, but the balery is just around the corner and i thought i must try, i was amazed how tasty the tart was, very fresh !!

(5/5) While I prefer egg tarts made with puff pastry, these are probably the best pie crust egg tarts I've had to date. Eat it while it's still hot!
TingJuly 25, 2014
This is an awesome egg tart especially when it's still hot and fresh out of the oven! Because of the high turnover this happens throughout the day!
KatrinaJanuary 26, 2015
The Egg tarts are good and I grew up eating them but now the tourist hype is making it a bit cray cray with lines outside. The Korean tourists LOVES them!!
CarmenJuly 31, 2016
Both the custard and pastry had excellent texture. The only drawback is the overall sweetness over my version of perfection...
Shannon ChowSeptember 13, 2015
Perfect for take away, the famous egg tarts
Virata GamanyJanuary 2, 2017
Awesome Egg Tarts though crust is a tad too sweet for my liking.. awesome nonetheless. Wife says Ipoh's slightly better :)
Chung HoJune 29, 2015
Egg tarts - the filling is great! So thick and eggy. The pastry is of the short variety instead of puff. Found the coconut tart a bit dry.
Robin HwangNovember 18, 2014
A must-try true local delicacy with an absolutely divine flakey crust. Have one hot right out of the oven!
JoSeptember 24, 2014
Wish I'd known to eat my egg tarts warm. Sounds like warm egg tarts are awesome and the ones I had three hours later are just decent.
P MJune 23, 2019
Favourite egg tarts! Best when it’s just come out of the oven! Eat it straightaway :) 💛
Michelle ClaryApril 29, 2013
Definitely the best egg tart in HK! They have a lot of branches but I like going to the main bakery on lyndhurst. :)

Delicious must have egg tarts when I come to Hong Kong, best when it’s piping hot!
Kevin MakJanuary 21, 2015
Their egg tart is classic - getting one and eating it immediately outside the store has become a scene of the street

Amazing egg tart. First timer and I loved it. Creamy, flaky and wonderful.

I bought (take-away) egg tartes (5 hkd each) in 5/4 2011. I love this thick taste from egg tartes. See the link for the photo !! Read more

Former Governor Chris Patten's favorite. Egg tarts are good. Not flakey. Some people may not like them. I like flakey.
Audrey ThoJuly 30, 2018
Lovely egg tarts with crispy crusts. Best to eat while it’s hot

Excellent egg tart although pricey but creamy!
Sergio GalzeranoJuly 30, 2017
One of the best for sure. Nice balance of curd and crust, light and tasty

Of course you should try the egg tart! Get 8 so you can share the deliciousness.

you can't visit Honkong without trying one of these delicious Egg Tarts...or Egg White Cake or... :-)

I usually prefer Portuguese style egg tarts, but these may be the best Hong Kong style ones I've ever had.
K WJanuary 25, 2018
Worth the inflation, $9
Riri GrrMarch 15, 2018
Really good egg tarts. Expect a sturdier, buttery shell here with a filling of silky, smooth, sweet egg curd.
Sabrina MajeedApril 3, 2016
The egg tarts are so damn good. Melty warm custard on flaky buttery crust good.
Puifai NiamrungrueangMay 27, 2016
Very nice egg tart but the pie is quite oily anyway there is nice a first bite 😜
MrChinguJuly 17, 2011
Best egg tarts in HK is only selling for HKD$5! For the best experience, eat them right after you buy them, it's yummilicious!
DianaJune 1, 2014
Egg tarts fresh and delicious, but line ups can be very long and no puff pastry option!
DxbMFebruary 1, 2017
Must try. After all it was Patten's favorite.
Julius TarngMarch 31, 2016
Open til late - swing by after dinner for a hot tart for $8!
HongjaiMay 1, 2017
Shortcrust egg tart. Not bad when hot. Personally prefer the flakey type the egg custard is good here
Ghassan AlkharboushSeptember 10, 2017
Not too sweet. Perfectly savory. Cookie base. Tastes perfect
Steven WakuuMay 4, 2018
Egg tart. That's it. Don't bother with anything else. Their egg tart is to die for.
Prinzessin NaraAugust 15, 2012
Their Chicken Pie as well as their BBQ Pork Pie are not less yummy than their Egg Tarts!

This place has become famous because it was the last British governor of Hong Kong's favorite egg tart stand. Killin, to this day.
