Piping hot egg tart with silky smooth filling @ Violet

Located on the corner of Electric Road, it is hard to miss.

The difference from this bakery is that you see the cakes from outside and order from the counter.

The egg tarts looked quite nice from the outside so I decided to get one.
However I could not see the prices.

Egg tart:
When they remove the egg tart from the metal casing they will use a piece of bread to act as a surface to knock it out.
Then they will put the egg tart in a cake casing and put it in a small carrier bag and pass it to you after you have paid, however if you are still fumbling with the coins they will hang the bag on the window.
When I got the egg tart it was really hot, the pastry base was shortcrust and luckily it was not that buttery.
As for the sweetness of the overall egg tart it was just right. The custard filling was quite runny just like the Chinese smooth steamed egg.

Tagliatelle with Chinese roast pork @ Deli-O

Photos of the restaurant:
When I walked by, this restaurant reminded me of Simplylife and Maxim's western style restaurants.
The decor inside was similar too.

Tagliatelle with Chinese roast pork:
It was really good that they used Tagliatelle instead of ordinary spaghetti because the tagliatelle absorbs more soup and it was tastier.
The roast pork was just the usual, there was nothing spectactualar about it but there was no complaint because it was not too fatty or dry.
The broth tasted like Knorrs chicken soup.

Toast with ham and scrambled egg:
The toast was reasonable and the ham and scrambled egg was just done Chinese style.

They had fish and chips and minced pies but as the style was not really Western I did not bother ordering that.
