Mother-In-Law is a kiosk in the basement of Havelock II which sells artisanal Portuguese egg tarts which are handmade from scratch and baked fresh daily.

The difference between Portuguese egg tarts and the regular egg tarts (think: Tai Cheong) is that they are made of puff pastry (think: croissant) instead of short crust tart pastry. They also tend to be sweeter with a caramelised top. You therefore get a good contrast between the flaky and crispy pastry and soft and creamy egg custard with egg bite.

I am usually a fan of the regular egg tart but rather enjoyed MIL's signature egg tart. Their puff pastry was super crisp and butter whilst their egg custard was rich and smooth and reminded me of steamed egg.

Besides the signature egg tart, MIL also has a range of other flavours such as orh nee, ham & mushroom and chicken rendang?!? Is this then the equivalent of an open face curry puff? 😂😂😂
