These cheese tarts were quite tasty. The crust was crispy and the cheese filling was moist, rich and runny.

I love the ones with a wobbly egg custard and melt-in-your-mouth pastry crust from Tai Chong Kok Confectionary at Bukit Merah Lane (in one of the shophouses opposite the Alexandra Village Food Centre.
