Matcha Portuguese Egg Tart @ 绿茶葡挞
I still remember the first batch of Macau Portuguese tart I made some time ago. It was so good that I can't resist to plan for further preparation but there always something to stop me. Since time is concerned, I need a quick preparation before other plan stopped me. I decided to get a ready made pastry. It works fine and good enough for me. No complaint at all... haha... Please read on for more.
