Thanks to the tip-off by @cweizhi, we preordered the popular tarts from June Bakery on the morning of collection! Chances to snag their Orh Nee tarts were so much higher, ever since they shot to fame. The tarts had a buttery shortcrust, instead of flaky, tart shell that crumbled easily.

Pastries with orh nee were a true delight. The orh nee paste was very smooth and had a light sweetness. Resembling the traditional dessert, the orh nee tart also had gingko nuts. For someone who doesn’t like muah chee, the peanut muah chee with orh nee was a pleasant surprise. A generous amount of orh nee was wrapped within the chewy muah chee, which was fully coated with fragrant chopped peanuts.

As for the other 3 tarts that we had, I was expecting the egg tart to be the Portuguese type with a little char on the surface, but it tasted more like steamed egg. Personally not a fan of cheese tarts, though I was still open to trying. Pretty straightforward with the sweet cream cheese, and with the buttery tart, I found both the cheese and egg tarts to be jelak rather quickly. Lastly, the intriguing Avocado tart had a pudding-like texture, somehow tasted like banana rather than a creamy avocado.

Missed the apple crumble and sweet potato tarts this time. Will be back!
