I usually get them when I drive by and find there is almost no line (like 9 pm when they are almost closing), but if you don't live here in SF and can't wait for a good timing to get them, the long wait is well worth it.零子https://www.blogger.com/profile/02734848916925321697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36752534.post-56540488640776140062009-01-30T14:50:00.000+08:002009-01-30T14:50:00.000+08:00Same thing happened to me while I was visiting San...Same thing happened to me while I was visiting San Fransisco. I stumbled on this bakery and wondered what's with the line. But I followed the classic advice that if there's a lot of people, the food must be good so I bought some. But I only bought 1 or 2 for myself and I felt I should have gotten more. They were the best!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36752534.post-58656248678566979542008-12-25T15:17:00.000+08:002008-12-25T15:17:00.000+08:00@Mrs L - thanks for that great story!@Mrs L - thanks for that great story!Nate @ House of Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00999631992214200998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36752534.post-83286677494300335752008-12-24T05:48:00.000+08:002008-12-24T05:48:00.000+08:00Though it was more than 20 years ago I still remem...Though it was more than 20 years ago I still remember my first egg tart. My boyfriend and I were exploring SF's Chinatown. We saw these little custard mini tarts in window and decided to buy a couple. One each. I was half way down the block before I tasted mine...I think I nearly passed out on the sidewalk they were so good. I immediately went back and ordered a dozen more. They are the first thing I go for if I find them anywhere.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36752534.post-75770080517786973352008-12-21T15:04:00.000+08:002008-12-21T15:04:00.000+08:00@all - thanks for the comments!@Anonymous - sorry,...@all - thanks for the comments!<BR/><BR/>@Anonymous - sorry, we don't have a recipe for egg tarts.

It was a childhood treat from a long defunct restaurant in Chinatown known for their custard pies and apple pies.
