Egg-citing

Now after lunch last week, while dad was buying the little boy's bribe, er present at Toy Kingdom, Tita O snuck off to Lord Stow's Bakery "to buy something." What happened next was I saw Hubs carrying a bag that contained a box of these egg tarts.
Now when I first heard of Lord Stow's Bakery was when it moved into the Madison Square neighborhood in Greenhills. Everyone knows that little piece of land is, um, malas or bad luck. Greenhills is supposed to be lucky for the Chinese because it is the "Dragon's head or tail," vely, vely auspicious location. Perhaps Madison Square is on the dragon's Adam's apple or tonsil or something. There was the vegetarian joint, Bodhi, before it closed down and became Panciteria Lido, and that also closed down. Then there was Bambi Sy-Gobio's Kooky & Luscious, which became a barbecue joint, but standing there now is a California Berry. The only thing that stayed in business there has been Teriyaki Boy, one of its first branches, I believe. Even the Kodak there closed down.

I do not like egg tart here or there
I do not like it anywhere!

So when Lord Stow's opened, I figured, it too, would close. So when it didn't, I decided to come in and taste one...I mean, egg tart? Chocolate tart, yes. Pecan tart, oh yes. But egg?

Say! I do like egg tart here or there
I will eat them anywhere!
I do like egg tart Lord Stow
Thank you, thank you now I know!

It says you must eat them within 6 hours of purchase or put them in the ref for up to 3 days...sounds a little fishy to me...they hardly last that long in my house...
