The origins of Macau's famous Portuguese egg tart
Subscribe to our KZread channel for free here: sc.mp/2kAfuvJ
The Portuguese egg tart has become an iconic treat for visitors to Macau, a special administrative region of China and former Portuguese colony. You may be surprised to learn that it is not authentically Portuguese, but was invented by a Brit. Eileen Stow, sister to Andrew Stow, who invented the treat in 1979, tells us about its origins and how it grew to become one of Macau’s most popular snacks.

It seems not to "latinos"!!!
The pastel de nata is a traditional pastry from Lisbon. So what Andrew did was basically recreating the pastel de nata (because he didn’t had the receipt for the Portuguese one) naming it egg tart. The first ones are Portuguese, the egg tart is something that came after.

My favourite egg tart! I loved it since I was little
What a lovely story. RIP Andrew.
It would make more sense to call them 'Macau egg tarts'

Not even that. As she recognizes, the "pastel de nata" they sell were so much well known that her brother used them to sell their idea to the bank!
I spent a couple of weeks in Macau in early 1976 and soon became very partial to the local (Portuguese??) egg tarts with the crumbly pastry and soft centres. A real joy to devour a few of them with hot Chinese tea. Whatever anybody says nowadays the ones I savoured back then were great and helped define my Macau experience. The old Sino-Portuguese enclave - pre-development - a lovely, mellow place, a real backwater in a sense a bit like Vientiane in Laos during the early 70s before the commies took over.
We just visited Lord Stows in Macau! 🤪🎉✨amaaaazing!

In China's Macau. That's why Portugal had to "signed" a lease for it.
My no 1 kind of egg tart love.
Yummy! Must be very very delicious and nutritious...

Put Portugal in your travel list and eat the original ones too ;) These ones look tasty but the portuguese look even better :)
It's kind of sad that the "Portuguese" egg tarts people are trying aren't even Portuguese but just rather measly egg tarts. Love the fact that Andrew got a medal for tourism and influenced the area of Macau forever though!
I love theese sooo delicous!
egg tart looks nice😋😋😋
I'm from Porto and It is delicious.
I love it.
I just wanna say i had margarets which was the egg tarts of Stows wife after they divorced if im correct.She wanted to make her own egg tarts as well. People think give her more of a try cause it more indie and has a long line. It still a 9/10 but i still choose lord stows to go to. Might be commercial but it more balanced. Margarets crust was better but it overtook the filling. So lordstows a 10/10 for me. Up to you based on preference. All i know is you guys need to try both if you visit macau. Just wake up at 5 : 30 am to go to margarets since the line is crazy long. But lord stows must be eaten in macau tho...taste a bit different in my country.

i've tried both - the one from KFC Taipei, which is the recipe that Stow's wife sold to them - the one from a Lord Stow bakery near my home (Metro Manila, Philippines) honestly, cant tell the difference because i forgot how the KFC one tastes like (tried it 2019)
Honestly the best egg tarts in Macau and HK. If anyone has better recommendations, I'm all ears.

Sakurashima in Wan Chai is also good, if not better! But yeah Lord Stow's all day every day since it's pretty much everywhere in big Asia cities.
If you ever get to visit Macau, eat this the first thing you get here, they are just the BEST!!! (The Darker the better xD)
Finally there's English subtitles for someone speaking English. XD
I have tasted these often whenever I go to HK and Macau, and I gotta say I prefer these than the original Belem tarts

Classic British colonization mindset that they brought something to another country’s culture.

A Casa portuguesa, este velho solar português feito pela espada dos Reis nos campos de batalha, pela sua astúcia nas conferências diplomáticas, e pelo sangue generoso e o sacrifício ilimitado dos que, dentro dos seus limites nasceram, e, vassalos daqueles Reis se orgulharam de ser, este velho solar português deita, pelas bandas do Oriente e do Norte, para os solares de Espanha. Disputaram, uns e outros, durante três séculos. Portugal acabou, finalmente, por convencer os vizinhos, da sua personalidade, e trancou as portas e as janelas da sua casa que davam para as terras do vizinho, e, seguro de que este não poderia facilmente assaltar-lhe as janelas e arrombar-lhe as portas, voltou-se para o mar misterioso e nebuloso, de trilhos ignorados ou esquecidos, de praias desconhecidas, e de limites quiméricos. Voltou-se para o mar; e firmando-se na tensão profunda que constituía fundamentalmente o seu querer viver, afirmou essa vontade na mais tenaz, na mais inteligente, na mais bela das realizações. Debruçado, no Promontório de Sagres, sobre o mar infinito, estudando, na sua casa de Sagres, com nautas, astrólogos e cartógrafos, os segredos do Espaço, o Infante traçava os primeiros delineamentos decisivos do novo Império cristão. Ele corporizava as aspirações latentes do seu povo, que já fora a Ceuta desfraldar, nas muralhas dos infiéis, o estandarte da Cruz! Ia gravada nas velas das nossas caravelas, ela que já andava nos dinheiros do tempo do nosso D. Sancho I. Nos padrões que os nossos navegadores e descobridores implantavam, a marcar o nosso direito e a nossa posse, era ela que se alçava a dominá-los. E foi ela que um dos maiores Reis da nossa história escolheu para a sua empresa - com a legenda: in hoc signo vinces. Se tirarmos ao Imperialismo português a sua característica cristã - tudo se torna incompreensível na acção imperialista dos portugueses de 1400 e 1500.
