Hopped onto the Salted Egg craze and gave the Golden Lava Cheese Tart a try. The golden lava filling inside, unfortunately, was a huge disappointment. It was 20% salted yolk and 80% oil! At first bite, the oil came pouring out. I thought it was a dud, but friend's tart had the same issue. Not too sure if something simply went wrong with that particular batch. The tart crust was also a forgettable generic tart with little flavour. It's sole merit was that it was decently sturdy and held its structure as we bit into the tart.

The saving grace came in the cheese filling, which was creamy and flavourful without being overpowering. Customers are advised to try the tarts at various different temperatures for different texture experiences. I had mine at room temperature, so the cheese was delightfully smooth, somewhat similar to a custard like consistency.

At $2 a pop, and given its smaller size, I'd say that the Prima Deli version would be a much more satisfying deal.

However, I wouldn't mind giving the original cheese flavour a try - their golden lava filling was terrible, but the cheese won me over.
