Xin Fa Bakery: Portuguese Eggtarts

Xin Fa's arrival to 8th avenue caused quite a stir. On the outside, it did not differ much from the other 20 bakeries along 8th avenue but the clean interior and the novelty pastries proved otherwise. Their most famous item, the Portuguese egg tart is the best example of what Brooklyn Chinatown has to offer.

Compared to a normal egg tart, the size is a little bigger and there are brownish spots and swirls from where the syrup?? is burnt. The crust is almost perfect: very soft and crispy. Definitely have a try next time you're in the area but make sure to go before 5pm as they are usually sold out by then. If you want to order a large quantity (1 dozen+), sometimes they will make them for you!

Each egg tart is $1.25.
$6 for half a dozen.
