Portuguese Egg Tarts

Good day everyone..here is my first post :)

June is here and we had almost gone through the first half of 2014..time really flies..

Egg tarts is one of my favourite to buy item if i am going in a bakery shop.

Never knew that making egg tart is so easy.

Thanks to Sonia from nasilemaklover.

When i saw the recipe, i just can't wait to try it out.

I'm a beginner in baking, look..here is my portuguese egg tarts.

sendiri makan with coffee..love it

The only problem was, i couldn't find the puff pastry here in any shop out there.

I have been looking up and down, a few bakery equipment shops also they don't sell.

But with today's luck, i found it at Giant, Penang Plaza.. Kawan brand is a local brand..I couldn't find the Pampas imported brand here. Anyone have any luck do let me know ya.
