The shop owner was very courteous while taking my order and was very patient in answering the questions I had about a couple items.
I brought the egg tart home and had it after dinner, and I reheated it in the microwave for like 10 seconds to warm it up.

 The egg tart had a flaky phyllo crust, but it lacked a butter aroma.  The egg filling was not dry even though I had nuked it, but the egg flavor was not prominent either.  The egg tart was ok, but with more bakeries opting to make egg tarts with a cookie-based crust, a phyllo-based egg tart is harder to find these days!
If I'm only judging the egg tart, this bakery would get an ok rating, but the owner was very courteous, and the price point was pretty good, so I'm going to give it a happy face!
