Chinese donuts and eggtarts

Tai Cheong Bakery (Tsing Yi)

Had a visit from a friend and whenever she visits, she always gets eggtarts and Chinese donuts from Tai Cheong.

Chinese donut:

The donut was very airy inside not like the western donuts and the inside was interestingly soggy and cold.
The donut exterior was like a huge choux bun and crispy coated in sugar.
At first I thought the dampness of the dough was the frying oil, but it was not.
The donut is big but when you bite into it, it is actually like a sponge and compresses. The donut exterior was chewier than the western type.
Overall I still prefer the western donut, but the inside of the Chinese donut is nice in the sense that it is moist and similar to fresh airy bread.
It is really similar to a sugar coated soggy American popover.

There were eggtarts too but the only eggtart I like at Taicheong are the big ones.
