What the real thing tastes like
Milk pie or pie susu (Indonesian: pai susu, lit. 'milk pie') is an Indonesian custard tart pastry consisting of a shortcrust pastry filled with egg custard and condensed milk. This traditional Indonesian dessert pastry is very flat with only one very thin layer of custard. The origin of this pastry is from Bali. Pie susu is a unique pastry, although the shape is similar to Portuguese pastel de nata.

Pie susu is an Indonesian custard tart that arrives almost impossibly thin—just a delicate shortcrust shell cradling a single wisp of egg custard sweetened with condensed milk. Born in Bali, this flat pastry shares a visual kinship with Portugal's pastel de nata, but it's its own thing entirely: a dessert that whispers rather than shouts, letting the custard's subtle richness do the talking.
