Yeh its a funny situation!

Lord Stow is supposed to be a British too. And even though Macau was once ruled by Portugal, no natives imported the original Pastel de Nata tart. So this British decided to make his own version haha, but it actually is a hybrid between the real Portuguese one and the HK Egg Tart! weird And then, the not so amicable break up between the couple haha!

Hi!

I personally prefer the Margaret’s Portuguese Tarts over Lord Stow’s version. Do you know they used to be Husbands and Wives? Amazing!

The Margaret’s version have a much eggier content, but a little smaller but thicker in size.
The Lord Stow’s version is much more milkier, but has a less burnt pastry crust.
Perhaps each to their own? : ) I think I prefer more egginess and a better caramelisation!

Kind regards,
HK Epicurus

Hi SV

Not sure about the bus number, but it’s better to ask the bus driver b4 u hop into the bus. the route names are crazy.

yeah, we walked, it’s quite far, but we made a lot of pit stops along the way, so its ok. if ur going straight, better to take a cab/taxi

i’m tempted to go again lah ….. seeing your posts.
the cheong kei noodles was indeed better than WCK’s, for the latter’s
reeked of alkaline taste.
and yeah, Lord Stow’s really very far off ……
