Pastéis de nata that we dream about

The third morning in Porto, we tried Natas D’Ouro, an egg tart shop also near our hotel. This shop is the one that redeemed Portuguese egg tarts for us (as mentioned, we didn't like the ones we tried on our first day there). It turned out to be our favourite for egg tarts.

This shop was recommended as having lots of flavours of egg tarts.

They have six kinds of sweet tarts, and six kinds of savoury tarts. There was a cheaper price if we buy a box of six, but we wouldn’t be able to mix the sweet and savoury kinds. So we decided to buy them individually. 

Among the sweet tarts, we selected a normal tart, a chocolate one (which we later regretted because they simply put some chocolate sauce on a normal one), and a port-flavoured tart (which turned out to not have much port taste). And we tried one savoury tart (I can’t really remember but I think we opted for codfish).

They provided us cinnamon powder in a shaker.

how the custard looks like

Even though the different flavours did not impress us, basically the tarts were very good. We loved both the pastry and the custard. This was when we realized how good a Portuguese egg tart could be.

They were so good that on our last full day in Porto, we decided to go and get a couple of egg tarts in the afternoon (we were resting in the hotel after visiting the Crystal Palace Gardens, to recharge for Lisbon). There was no other chance to eat them again!

Aha, the name of the flavours are clearer on this box

this time we went for the original flavour, saving 10 euro cents per tart :P

They have multiple shops in Portugal, but probably only the northern part. There is no shop in Lisbon. We checked that they had a shop in Madrid, and I was even thinking of getting some when we were there, but the prices in Spain are higher, so in the end we didn’t (we actually even passed the shop without planning to). If Porto were our final stop before returning to Malaysia, we would have bought some back home. 

Ah, and a quick note: Even in Porto itself, the shops seem to have different pricing. We had these in the shop near our hotel. When we went across the river, we saw another branch there, and the prices were slightly lower. Maybe because our hotel is in the central area? I still find it strange because across the river is still a touristic area...
