Since Macau is just a short boat ride from Hong Kong, the locals modified the original Portuguese egg tarts and served them with other Cantonese dim sums for breakfast. Hong Kong egg tarts are derived from the Portuguese pastel de nata from when the Portuguese arrived in Macau at the turn of the twentieth century.
While the barbecue meat bun is the signature item of dim sum restaurants and Chinese bakeries, the most lovable dessert will be none other than the Hong Kong egg tart.
If you like Cantonese dim sum, you must be familiar with Hong Kong egg tarts.
