I recently watched Feed Meimei's youtube vlog on San Francisco egg tarts and thought I would do my own taste test of a couple of the most popular ones near me.  A few people on Bay Area Eats had mentioned Suzanne's and since I often shop at the Millbrae Farmer's Market, this was an easy stop. 

Having enjoyed the Pasteis de Nata in Belem, there really is no comparison to that gold standard.  My mother is also a Chinese egg tart enthusiast, and although the two are not exactly the same, one can certainly appreciate the custard center and delicate flavors of both.  Suzanne's focuses on Portguese egg tarts; they don't offer the regular Chinese ones.  

- Portuguese Egg tart - Look at the layers on that lovely tart crust.  It's not just flaky, but it's crispy too.  Don't mind the messy bite.  While it doesn't have the noticeable cinnamon flavoring like you would find in Belem, the egg custard is creamy and rich, without any hint of feeling artificial that you sometimes encounter.   Be sure to enjoy it while it's warm or reheat after you return home so you can enjoy the full experience of this delicious bite.  $2.50

The secret hasn't gotten out yet because there aren't any lines of significance.
