mangia: "the egg custard" place to go

Dan Tah which means Egg Custard. My first time trying this bakery's Dan Tah was from an order of 6 regular egg custards & 6 almond flavored egg custards.

The regular egg custards blew my mom, grandpa, and whichever sibling was at home away. They weren't that crazy about the almond flavor.

For these you must go to Chinatown.

Egg Custard King Cafe has several different flavors of egg custard. The regular egg, the white egg, almond, honey dew, mango, banana, and strawberry. The mango egg custard was the only one where we noticed chunks of fruit.

Fast forward till New Year's Eve dinner compared the King's 6 regular egg custard and 6 white egg custard with the ones Mom took out Dan Tah's from her usual bakery, and compared the two, the Egg Custard King's had a flakier shell, & between the egg custard, the white one tasted less sweet, & we liked it more than the regular yellow egg custard.

I suggest you do your own tasting, walk down Canal and turn on Mott St. Go down the stairs and deal with the mob of people all craving for egg custards! Oh and across the street is Ten Ren's pick up a bubble tea while your at it.

Update: We tasted the melon, the banana, the strawberry flavored egg custard. Among the 3, most of us prefered the strawberry ones! I can't wait for my next visit to this small egg custard heaven!
