Hong Kong (British influence) and Macau (Portuguese influence) — 20th century colonial hybrids
Hong Kong egg tarts use a flaky shortcrust or puff pastry shell with a silky smooth egg custard filling (similar to British egg custard tart but lighter). Macau Portuguese egg tarts (pastel de nata adaptation) have a puff pastry shell, slightly caramelised top, and richer, creamier custard. Both are dim sum staples but represent distinct colonial influences.
