MFM: Lord Stow's Bakery

The most famous egg tarts in Macau!

This shall be the last review of the week as we're going to Bangkok tomorrow! Ready for the most famous pastéis de nata (Portuguese egg tarts) in Macau? Andrew Stow hails from England, opening his first bakery on Coloane Island in late 1980s.


The bakery currently has a few branches in Macau, as well as a few Asian countries: the Philippines, Hong Kong, South Korea and Japan. I bought a few egg tarts from the branch in Venetian Macau.


Portuguese Egg Tart MOP 8.00 (~S$1.30)
Taste: 9/10

Too bad the picture of the egg tart doesn't come out as good as Margaret's version in the previous post. Anyway, I enjoyed Lord Stow's version more which had a higher degree of caramelisation that contributed to the heightened bittersweet sensation. The crust was crispy and flaky, but slightly more moist, perhaps due to the higher amount of butter used. Finally, the egg custard was creamy and more milky. Awesome!

Melon's Rating
Taste: 9/10

Lord Stow's Bakery also sells a variety of apparently mouth-watering items, including cheesecakes and chocolate rum balls. Pika's advice: If you've got the time, try to go to the original store in 1 Rua do Tassara, Coloane!

SIN: Yoshinoya

Trying it again in Singapore after years! Yoshinoya is the second largest chain of gyudon (lit. beef bowl) restaurants in Japan. Although its first shop opened in Tokyo, the name of the chain actually pays homage to the former town of Yoshino in Osaka Prefecture where its founder hailed from. After years of giving Yoshinoya in Singapore a miss, I recently found myself revisiting one of its branches at Bugis Junction.

Pancake x  soufflé originated from Tokyo! Hailing from Japan, Flipper's is a chain café renowned for its fluffy, jiggly soufflé pancakes. While I've never had the chance to try the pancakes in its country of origin, I was excited to finally experience them at the Westgate branch here in Singapore, which has been drawing long lines of eager patrons.

Are you a fan of their rich specialty sauce? Entrecôte  is a French term that refers to a premium boneless cut of beef from the rib area, which is typically used for steaks and roasts.
