Egg tarts, custard tarts, or egg custard tarts are a kind of pastry popular in many parts of the world but particularly in Chinese and Western European cuisines. The tarts consist of an outer pastry crust, filled with egg custard and baked.
Today egg tarts come in many variations within Hong Kong cuisine. These include egg white tarts, milk tarts, honey-egg tarts, ginger-flavoured egg tarts (the two aforementioned variations were a take upon traditional milk custard and eggcustard, which was usually served in cha chaan tengs, chocolate tarts, green-tea-flavoured tarts and even bird's nest tarts.
Overall, Hong Kong-style egg tarts have two main types of outer casings: shortcrust pastry, and puff pastry made with lard rather than butter or shortening. Most Hong Kong Chinese food purists put the egg tarts made with puff pastry with higher regards.
Unlike in English custard tarts, milk is normally not added to the egg custard, and the tart is not sprinkled with ground nutmeg or cinnamon before serving. It is also sometimes (though not always) served piping hot rather than at room temperature as per English custard tarts.

I used to love these when I was little, I remember my mom would try making homemade ones, but they were never as good as the store bought ones... dang I haven't had one in so long...

A few summers ago, KFCs in Taiwan sold these frozen egg tarts that were simply delicious

[matango88]

the Golden Gate Bakery in chinatown, SF makes the best ones

Im pretty sure the Chinese borrowed the idea to make these from the British? from when the British occupied Hong Kong for a long time.

I prefer the ones with a puffy crust made from several layers
