@ reggie_I: Agreed, these were curiously orange. Usually, they're butter-yellow. I'm not sure why these were so dark.

I was just about to say the same. That's like tang stained. Did you eat it? When it fluoresces like this, I would refrain from even ordering it.

@ Sifu: What made me less sketpical was the inside of the custard: it was just as vibrant orange as the surface. This suggested to me that the used very high-quality eggs. If were just the top, then I'd suspect that the custard had sat out too long and oxidized or gone stale. Nope, these were quite good.

True enough, and I've come across ones made with really golden yolks as well, but the custard isn't this dark... I suspect some use of custard powder (i.e. from China) but I could be wrong.

See the diff? vs. www.flickr.com/photos/sifu_renka/3863438977/
and ones made with Omega 3 eggs:

@ Sifu: The dan ta with the Omega 3 eggs is much lighter in colour than the first.

;) and none of them were like a pumpkin. I should also clarify that neither were saccharine - don't know if that has anything to do with a lack of "enhancers" (unfortunately, you know too many Chinese restaurants rely on those), but just my two cents.

I think you should come up to Toronto sometime and prove me right/wrong regarding this whole egg custard tart issue. :P (and you can pick up all the salted fish you want!) We also have lau saa baos... these ones will stay liquid even if you decide to eat them in a taste comparison hours later (thanks to the magic of sugar and lard).
