Joy Luck Teahouse Has Egg Tarts Made With 22 Carat French Gold Flakes for CNY

Tai Cheong Bakery’s egg tarts may have captivated hearts in the West, but it appears that Joy Luck Teahouse is set to go one step further…

With its limited-edition egg tarts – that are supposedly created with 22 carat French Gold Flakes.

Launched in conjunction with the opening of its fourth outlet at Parkway Parade, as well as the upcoming festive CNY period, these delectable egg tarts are a sight to behold…

And surely a taste to savour too.

Joy Luck Teahouse Has Egg Tarts Made With 22-Carat French Gold Flakes for CNY

According to the Facebook page for Joy Luck Teahouse, the famous Hong Kong cafe opened its fourth outlet at Parkway Parade on 22 January.

To mark the occasion, and in anticipation of the upcoming festive period, Joy Luck Teahouse has unveiled a line of absolute gold delicacies:

The egg tarts are decorated with 22-carat edible French gold flakes, and are part of the teahouse’s Chinese New Year menu.

Apparently, these beauties were released for pre-order collection from 22-24 January, and are now available in limited quantities.

They are priced as follows:

  • One piece: S$6
  • Four pieces: S$22.80
  • Six pieces: S$28.80

For the record, the teahouse’s signature egg tarts are baked in two forms: puff pastry and butter cookie.

It should be noted, however, that the gold flakes are highly unlikely to offer any real taste.

But then again, they are certainly aesthetic enough to constitute as visiting gifts this CNY.

Better than real inedible gold, we would presume.

Other Delicacies

Apart from its egg tarts, Joy Luck Teahouse @ Parkway Parade has also released Dried Scallop Hae Bee Hiam Chee Cheong Fun in collaboration with Singapore’s very own Ah Ge, celebrity actor Li Nanxing.
