You've had or seen a custard tart before.  You may or may not have seen bird's nest before, usually served as a dessert sometimes savory in a soup although they normally taste like nothing if you just eat them straight up and has a gelatinous texture.  Put those two together and you've got one tasty little sweet bites of Bird's Nest Custard Tart which can be found at Koi Palace during their dim sum hours in Daly City neighboring SF.  So far this is the only place in the SF area that I know of that serves these.  These bird's nests are swallow's nests and known for their anti-aging abilities.  The Chinese hundreds of years ago believed that it could increase your testosterone levels as well as enhancing healing abilities rejuvenating your skin.  I don't know how science plays into all that or how true it is so you will have to do your own homework if you really want to know more about it.  Let me know if you see a difference in your skin or lifestyle.  I don't eat enough of it to know.  One thing for sure is you got one helluva dessert when you put custard and bird's nest together!  If you ever get the chance to try it let me know how you like it!
