It took us a while to find Margaret’s Café e Nata 玛嘉烈蛋挞 which is tucked away in a hidden alley within walking distance from the Ruins of St. Paul’s Cathedral and right behind the Grand Lisboa casino. This cafe is supposedly founded by Lord Stow’s ex-wife.

Margaret’s Café e Nata (玛嘉烈蛋挞) - Portugese Egg Tarts : The place was crowded with people and the outdoor tables were all full with patrons enjoying their freshly baked Portugese egg tarts.

Margaret’s Portugese Egg Tarts is really awesome. The crust was very flaky and crispy with a strong buttery flavour. The caramelised egg custard was smooth, rich and moderately sweet. Delicious! I was told that Lord Stow’s version is sweeter and more creamy but not so buttery and greasy. I can’t say much coz I din manage to try Lord Stow’s Portugese egg tarts (<.>)

Verdict: Margaret’s Portugese Egg Tart is one of the must try food when you’re visiting Macau. The pastry was flaky with strong buttery flavor while the caramelised egg custard was real smooth with just the right amount of sweetness. Bliss!!! While the egg tarts’ real good, the service on the other hand is really bad. Oh yea, no photography allowed in the cafe.

This blog is a platform to share what I love in life: food (eat), travel (play), photography (art) and life (thoughts and ideas). With passion for food, I share my foodie adventures and indulgences here. “There is no love sincerer than the love of food.”

Traveling makes us a better human being as we recognise the similarities and celebrate the differences of cultures between where we travel to and where we come from. “The World is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page.”

Photography do more than just capturing the best moments in our lives; they also help us tell our life stories. “Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film is captured forever… it remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything.”
