They seem popular in Hong Kong since the overall puff is only light on the sugar. There were some new flavors in Hong Kong this time - vanilla custard with mango, green tea custard puff and the tiramisu puff (latter two pictured). The tiramisu was surprisingly good - the custard had a slight alcoholic aftertaste and the crunchy chocolate bits added more sweetness to the pastry shell.

Beard Papa custard puffs
For those that know my culinary tastes, you would know that I am very partial to beard papa's vanilla custard puffs. This franchise started in Japan but they have since expanded to Hong Kong, other Asian countries and even New York and San Francisco. There was a small store in Boston for a period of time - unfortunately, it closed. My favorite is their vanilla custard puff - the custard is injected into the pastry shell when order so that it stays crisp while the custard stays cold.
