Reason I like the egg rolls is that we made similar ones back home in the east when I was a kid....I think you stole the recipe so about sharing that Sydney apt...jk.

Egg tarts are great especially when fresh. The Asian bakeries here have two kinds, the regular flaky crust kind and another called Portugese egg tart which has what seems like a normal pie crust.
As for the non-fried rolls, mostly served in Vietnamese restaurants which also serve the traditional fried spring rolls - these tend to have mostly meat compared with the Chinese type that have veggies only or veggie and meat.
