I was doing rounds in my typical auntie fashion at The Starling when I decided to inspect MIKI Bakery.
As a carnivore, I have no business sneaking into bakeries but old habits die hard. At least now, when I walk inside and take a deep breath (or a few), I can walk out unscathed (ie without being tempted to buy something), or so I thought.
This bakery is located at the basem*nt (same floor as Jaya Grocer) and has been in operation for some months now.
MIKI Bakery prides themselves with three types of Egg Tarts (the best in town it seems) (1) Premium Germany Egg Tart (2) Portuguese Egg Tart and (3) Bamboo Charcoal Portuguese Egg Tart.
So of course I had to go take a peek. I asked the nice young man behind the counter what is the difference between the Germany Egg Tart and the Portuguese Egg Tart.
The difference is in the crust. Cookie crust for the Germany Egg Tartand puff pastry crust for the Portuguese Egg Tart. Hmm!
Seeing that I was so kepoh, I felt very paiseh to walk away without a purchase. So I asked for one Germany Egg Tart (RM4.30).
There you have it!
Does this not look beautiful?
I felt a little guilty to indulge (I really shouldn't - I mean the guilty part) but what the heck. One egg tart is not going to derail me.
Ngap! Oh my! I love the very crumbly crust, it melts in your mouth. And the egg custard is light and yet creamy and not overly sweet. That's what I like, a pastry that is barely sweet and so delightful!
This egg tart gets a thumbs up from me. I will go get some this weekend for my parents and my brother.
