The egg tart was definitely unique — it had a noticeable citrus flavor. Interesting, but not really my preference. The crust was very flaky and fragrant, though a bit on the oily side. The chicken roll was better for me — flavorful and slightly spicy filling, and it actually reminded me a bit of a Chinese-style bun. The owner was very friendly and proactively explained the menu and gave recommendations, which I really appreciated. Would come back to try other items.
