Portuguese Egg Tarts at Gongbei Border Area (葡式蛋挞)

The Portuguese egg tarts at Gongbei are the best cross-border snack in Greater China, offering Lord Stow's-style custard tarts with flaky pastry and lightly browned tops at prices as low as CNY 5-8 per tart. Baked in wood-fired ovens, these tarts sell out by noon on weekends, with 30% more availability on weekdays. Faster to grab than the clay pot rice specialists at #8, they are a must-buy first purchase upon entering Zhuhai from Macau.
