Egg Tart Box **Small Size with Egg Tart Holder**

Egg tarts are one of Hong Kong's signature local delicacies. They first appeared in Hong Kong's cha chaan tengs (tea restaurants) in the 1950s. Initially, cha chaan teng egg tarts were larger, available in both flaky pastry and custard tart varieties. In the 1940s, high-end Western restaurants in Hong Kong introduced egg tarts, where a single egg tart could be part of an afternoon tea set. From the 1990s onwards, cha chaan tengs that also offered baked goods gradually decreased; only old-fashioned establishments continued to bake their own egg tarts. In June 2014, egg tarts were officially recognized by the Hong Kong government and listed as item 5.33 on Hong Kong's first inventory of intangible cultural heritage.
