I must say
that CAFÉ DE NATA in London, makes some of the best pasteis de nata (custard tarts) I ever had.
They have created
some new versions, of the traditional one, like coconut or strawberry, but I always go
for the traditional/plain. Maybe I should try one of the others sometime, but
feels a bit wired.
Usually,
when you buy them in Portugal, you tell the seller if you want queimadinho, literally translated to
little burn (dark) or clarinho ,
literally translated as little light (light).
I always ask for mine warm and queimadinho and then I
add sugar and cinnamon.
They Have shops in South Kensington, Soho and
Hammersmith. By the end of the day they reduce the price so everything must go.
Unfortunately, I never manage to make nice ones at
home, but luckily, or maybe not, I live near Café de Nata!
