I used to love to get these things when I was in China
Sometimes they also wrote it 葡式蛋塔 – that’s how it was labeled in my local bakery but
probably a mistake. I assumed 葡式 meant Portuguese style, but maybe not? If so Portugal might
be the best place to get them, not China? Anyway, my ignorance is on full display!

skylee –

We call it 葡撻 (portugese egg tart / pastel de nata ). Read this for more information.

sarahkuang –

It is a bit out of my imagination. I couldn’t tell what is the difference between 广式 and
葡式蛋挞. I have read those process to make 葡式蛋挞. It almost the same as I make
广式蛋挞. Can anyone tell me what is the difference between two when you taste it?

Thanks very much!

skylee –

I think it is 港式, not 廣式.

And compare the photo in this post and that in #2 above. Don’t you think there is a difference?

gato –

The 葡式 ones look burned and not as pretty. Why is that? What does this have to do with
Portugal?

Xiao Kui –

Haha! I’ve tasted both kinds and the ones in #2 above are definitely 更好吃!

burnt caramel (I guess)

sarahkuang –

I am not a pro, from the recipe I can’t see the big difference. Guess I have to give up the ideal
of making one by myself. Yummy Portugese egg tar, when can I have a taste?

skylee –

I am planning for a trip to Portugal in October and have come across this travel log which says
"Pasteis de nata=new addiction!!!"

Quote:

The famous pastries are a custard tart with a very flaky crust and topped with cinnamon and or
powdered sugar. Ours were fresh from the oven and were delicious!! They aren´t very big and after
two each we were tempted to order a couple more but decided two were enough…for now.

Gizmo –

This might sound a little bizarre but I work for a production company in NYC and we are
currently producing an audiobook which contains several characters which speak Chinese. It takes
place in Hong Kong and Beijing so I’m assuming the sentances are either Mandarin or Cantonese.
Neither myself or the narrator has any experience with these languages and I’m hoping someone
would help us with the pronunciations of a few words.

Any assistance you could offer would be greatly appreciated! Please reply to this post or contact
me at info@gizmopost.com and let me know when is a convinient time for me to give you a call to
explain further. We start production on 8/19/06 so I hoping to find someone this week.

Thank you in advance to anyone that can help us.

Since you are in NYC I’d contact someone at Columbia in the Chinese Language Dept
http://www.columbia.edu/cu/ealac/
(Unless some chinese-forum member needs a job.)
Some faculty at Columbia probably have experience making the audio for the David and Helen text
book series which I think was produced there.

If it’s a few (<=5) words then you might be able to do it over the phone, but more than that, like
phrases, you will need some serious coaching and natural ability if you want it to sound authentic
in a short time. The performers presumably have tons of natural vocal ability so you may have a
chance.

Don’t ignore tones. English does not have this aspect. Insist that your coach work with you until
they are perfect, rather than “good enough for an American.”

Come back when it’s done and post the amazon link.
Or post audio snips while in the works, and invite the chinese-forums members to critique, if you
dare!
