And magnificent it was.”

It's been so long since I've had an egg tart….Likes years…I grew up eating them in Chinatown as a kid!
I came in around 6:30pm so they were pretty much out of everything. Just a few items left really; they had some coconut egg tarts and just enough HK style egg tarts for me to get 4 for $5. Also got a cookie for $1.25, it was eh… come for the egg tarts.
L doesn't normally care for egg tarts, but he thought these were really good. The custard was smooth and silky and the perfect amount of sweetness. The crust was flaky, but not dry. 2 egg tarts make a nice dessert.
I doubt I would like the Portuguese egg tarts since Im not a fan of caramelized sugar; regardless if I ever manage to get here early enough, I'll try to get a couple.
I came here because I read that they have the best egg tart in all of Flushing. I personally can't contribute to that conversation because this was my first time having an egg tart, but I can definitely say that they are good! My Chinese friend and I both preferred the Portuguese egg tart (less egg flavor, caramelized sugar on top, and a hint of cinnamon) over the classic egg tart, but both are solid choices.
The best egg tart shop in Flushing belongs to this little shop located in J MART.
Tons of unique different flavors to choose from like green tea, sweet potato, mango, pineapple, egg, milk, Portuguese, etc. You can mix and match 4 tarts for $5. My favorite was the mango!
Get them in the mornings when they're are still hot!
They also serve coffee, iced drinks, and hot lemon honey.
Don Tots of all sorts!!!! My favorite is the portugese style as well as the ginger milk, the custard is soft but filled with aromas, the crust is buttery, flakey, and very loose. They have a $5 for 4 special which I always get suckered into getting even if I only wanted one. Being a Hong Konger , this egg tart spot is on point! A must try in Flushing. (Keep in mind there are no tables, not even a standing area to eat. Take it to go but eat it while it is warm!)
Because I did not ACTUALLY eat their stuff because apparently it is self serving service or that they were closed, I'm going to leave it at 3 stars until I do.
***Refer to my photo***
Now, they could have been closed for the night although on their Yelp page listing their hours were far from that at the time which I came by. They still have egg tarts on display and plenty of it so that is another indication that they were still open.
The guy or girl could have just stepped out to the loo which is on the other side of the mall but then wouldn't it make sense to post something like "BRB in 15 minutes" or "Restroom Break"?
Also, to get to this bakery you MUST either enter through the Main street entrance which is by Foot Locker and right after the pizza shop and drive in entrances leading to basement parking for cars. If you walked by and you're by the subway entrance, YOU HAVE WALKED TOO FAR. It is before that.
The second way to get there which isn't necessarily easier is to WALK THROUGH THE SUPERMARKET (there is only one supermarket in that mall) AND GO DOWN THE ESCALATORS BY THE BACK CASHIERS. There is a front cashiers which handles to payment closest to the entrance on Roosevelt Avenue. GO TOWARDS THE BACK ESCALATORS.
I was really looking forward to trying a variety of egg tarts as raved by Yelpers but I guess I will have to try them another day.
Sad.
The egg tarts here are delicious. We had a traditional egg tart and a milk one. The milk egg tart added a nice level of creaminess, but both were delicious. The service is super fast as you simply pick and choose your options and then find a place to eat. I'd recommend going into the mall and the lower level food court. It was $3 for two tarts.
This place probably makes the best egg tarts I've ever had! I don't usually crave egg tarts, but I almost always crave these lol
They're not in the basement like all the other vendors and it's tucked away near the Main Street entrance as you enter the supermarket. You might miss it at first, but it's literally to the left when you get off the escalator.
They have such a large variety and very inexpensive too. They have the classic egg tart and some unique ones like red bean, green tea, mango, etc,. I've yet to try them all, but so far, I don't think any of them can beat the classic egg tart, since it's something I grew up with.
They're $1.25 each, and if you buy 3, you get 1 one free.
Maybe it's sheer convenience and routine, but I stop here and get a dozen of these egg tarts every time I am in Flushing. At this point I have probably tried every single flavor, but my favorites are the Portuguese, almond, and coconut. They have a very wide range of flavors, from the traditional original to Green Tea to red bean to coffee to apricot. There is likely a flavor for everyone. The pastry shell is flaky and buttery, and the custard itself is creamy, thick, and almost akin to flan, which I like. I can;t stand egg custards with a jello-like filling texture. Be forewarned that they are literally heart attacks in a delicious package. There are probably better egg tarts in Flushing but this always satisfies my craving and I love that I can get multiple flavors in one box.
