Debunking the Hype: Chicago's "Best" Portuguese Egg Tarts
NoodleBird I'd always heard their Portuguese egg tarts were the best in Chicago β and honestly? They're pretty good! π Flaky crust (which is rare in the U.S.), and baked nice and airy β kinda reminds me of the KFC ones back in China π. But $8 for two now? Definitely on the pricier side πΈ. Other dishes weren't as memorable. The grilled chicken was actually decent β tender and flavorful. But it SPICY πΆοΈ. Not crazy spicy, but it's not the kind of heat Chinese palates are used to. If you're not a spice person, proceed with caution. The char siu rice? Not what I expected. It's not the tender, juicy Cantonese style β this was drier, more like cured meat π«€. Mango passion dreamstick (I think that's what it was called) β mango juice with cream. Really liked it! If you're not into cream, go for the cooler version β looked like pure mango juice π₯πΉ. #ChicagoFood #ChicagoSuburbs #NoodleBird #PortugueseEggTart #CharSiu #GrilledChicken
