Queen Sophie 酥妃皇后 (Hong Kong, CHINA) ★★☆☆☆

After stopping by Spy by Henry Lau, I had a hunch to check out Queen Sophie (酥妃皇后), the legend of 368 crispy layers.



Of course, that’s referring to their famous egg tart with 368 layers of crispy pastries.



They are supposed to be well known for their other freshly baked pastries as well, most noticeably ones with crust pastries including their strawberry croissants and doughnuts. But they were nowhere to be found this afternoon.



For a place touted to have one of the best egg tarts in Hong Kong, I thought this was a little disappointing. The crust was buttery enough but a little too chewy and thick for my liking.



 I guess “the more, the better” doesn’t apply to everything after all.
