This weekend I’m in Whistler and I got me some beaver tails! Beaver tails are Canadian sweet pastries. They are thin, deep fried til crispy, and shapes like a beaver’s tail.

This weekend I got some Cinnamon Sugar with Lemon, and Choco Hazelnut Beaver tails. They were both all so yummy.

The cinnamon sugar with Lemon beaver tails was awesome, especially the freshly squeezed lemon juice on top, made the pastry less dry. My American friends had a good point, it tasted sort of tasted like Mexican churros.

The Choco Hazelnut was Beaver Tail with nutella, and powdered sugar on top. Deep friend pastry and nutella, how can you go wrong. It was so yummy when it was still warm. So good.

It has been a while since I got a beaver tail. Right now I am a little bit obsessed with them. A lot of tails are gonna be eaten by me this weekend!

Beard Papa’s makes some serious cream puffs. Ever since the first time I’ve had them, they’ve been one of my usual places to get desserts.

These cream puffs are big, probably a size of a baseball. The cream puffs have a really thin fluffy crust, and A LOT of vanilla flavored cream. Every bite you take you are guaranteed to ooze out some of the cream at one part of the puff. It can get messy to eat, but sometimes the messiest food are the yummiest.  The cream is sweet, light, very delicious.

The cream also come in other flavors such as green tea, chocolate and strawberry. Unless they come out with a really good coconut flavored cream (hint hint to Beard Papa’s), the original is still my favorite.

The puffs are made fresh, so even with all that cream inside, it is never soggy. They also stay together pretty well after a couple hours, but of course these are the best when fresh!

The Portuguese Egg Tarts are one of my favorite pastry desserts. What’s a Portuguese Egg Tart? A Portuguese Egg Tart is basically like a regular Egg Tart, but with very flaky, and puffy crusts, and custard filling that is caramelized a little on the top. In other words, the best kind of egg tarts.

I usually get these delicious custard cups at the bakery in my local T&T Supermarket. You can buy these individually, or you can get them in a box of 6 for around $7 dollars. I almost never leave T&T without at least one of these egg tarts, they’re just soo yummy. The crusts are never dry, they are buttery, the yummy kind of buttery. The custard is soft with crème brûlée consistency. Mmmm….so good!

There are other bakeries that sells these egg tarts too, but T&T is still my place to go because of their locations. And also of course they make really good egg tarts.

Looks: 4.5/5
Taste: 4.5/5

Note: T&T Richmond does not have a in house bakery, therefore you will not find them there.

Tip: For better taste, put them in an oven for 1 minute until the custard is warm, it will taste like they just came out of the oven.
