Egg tarts are loved worldwide for their flaky pastry and sweet egg custard filling. They started in European monasteries and became popular in Asia.
In Goa, Padaria Prazeres in Panjim is known for its delicious Portuguese egg tarts, called Pastel De Nata. These tarts trace back to 18th-century Portugal, where monks made them using leftover egg yolks.
Egg tarts spread to Asia in the 20th century, becoming popular in Hong Kong tea houses with a lighter crust and sweeter custard. In Macau, Andrew Stow created a version with a caramelized top, which became a big hit.
Today, egg tarts are enjoyed worldwide, uniting different cultures with their delicious taste.
