Egg Custard King (of suckiness)
I don't understand the raves this place gets. Is there an optimal window of 5 minutes daily when you can go and actually have a decent egg custard here and I just happen to miss out?
Maybe the Portuguese style is the lone redeemer here. But damn, last time I had the flavored versions (strawberry, banana, and almond) I wanted to puke from the obviously synthetic flavorings. My bubblicious tastes like fresh-picked strawberries compared to that shit.
So please don't buy me this junk when you come over to my house. I received a box from somebody and felt almost guilty tossing it in the trash. Do a FOB right, just buy me some dragon's beard candy.

yo and if not dragon's beard (we obviously have a true FOB up in here), I'd rather have the OTHER pastry filled with an egg-based confection . . . . BEARD PAPA!
ya, not a fan of this place either. mediocre at best.
have you ever seen the old guy making dragon's beard on canal or bayard? the dude makes the best a whitey has ever had, but he's an elusive mothafucka.
i seriously wanted to apprentice one of the old men dragon's beard makers. when i was young, i used to steer my mum towards the guy on Canal St. a few years ago, there was a guy on Grand St who told me that he made the candy mostly for fun rather than as a means to make cizzash. Recently, I've been getting my fix from the guy in the window of Deluxe Food Market, the Elizabeth St. side, I think.
