Recommendations

"This legendary bakery is best known for its world-famous egg tarts. Many other egg tart bakeries have popped up around Macau, but none can compare to Lord Stow’s."
"Everyone knows about the famous and delicious Portuguese eggs tarts at Lord Stow’s."
"Though the celebrated English baker Andrew Stow has passed away, his Lord Stow’s Bakery keep his memory alive by serving his renowned pastéis de nata – a warm egg-custard tart."
"Oohhhhhh… The crust flaky and crisp, and that wafer thin layer of caramelised top matched with smooth eggy creaminess was ‘arresting’."
"Egg tarts are one reason we actually went to Macau. Make sure you eat the steaming hot ones coming out of the tray. The whiff of sweet sugar might just lead you to the location."
"These tarts have creamy custard centres, a pastry crust and a seared top. You’ll find them in charming Coloane."
"Home of the iconic Macao-style Portuguese egg tart. Represents its roots in Portugal with egg custard in flaky, buttery crust, while simultaneously representing its Chinese roots: the pastry is made less sweet to suit southern Chinese taste buds."
"If there’s one pastry that defines Macanese cuisine’s mixed origins, it’s Lord Stow’s egg tart. Based on the Portuguese pastel de nata, Andrew Stow fiddled with the recipe, erring on the side of the creamier British tart’s design. The result is less sweet, appealing to the Chinese palate, with a flaky, buttery crust filled with caramelized egg custard."
"Lord Stow’s Portuguese egg tart is something of a Macanese icon. Though the pastry—a slightly caramelized egg custard nestled in a flaky, buttery crust—traces its roots back to Portugal, it is less sweet than the original Pasteis de Nata to suit Chinese tastes."
"Still warm from the oven, with a flaky pastry and silky custard filling, the six-pack is definitely what you'll need."
