Lord Stow's vs. Margaret's

Okay, okay, don%26#39;t want to start a debate between people on either side of these two ex-couple. :)

Having visited Macau several times and enjoying egg tarts from Lord Stow%26#39;s each visit, i wondered why have I not tried Margaret%26#39;s?! To think that her cafe is in the center!

Visiting one of my favorite places in Asia again soon, just for a day, and was wondering if I should give Margaret%26#39;s a try this time. What is the best time of the day to go there, considering it may be packed at certain times of the day? And more importantly, which is the best way/route to get there from Senado Square?

The two egg tart recipes are near enough to identical, as are their lemonades and raspberry yogurts, but each side has also developed their own bakery lines.

During school term times, Margaret%26#39;s tends to be taken over by students from the nearby Portuguese school, so it%26#39;s safest to come while school is in session.

To get there from Senado Square, walk back towards the Lisboa on the left side of the street. Cross directly over the next intersection with the traffic lights and keep walking straight ahead. After passing the bank and a couple of other shops there is a small lane going to the left - go in there, and just behind the first building on your right there is a narrow alley with brick pavement. Margaret%26#39;s is only a few metres along on your left (the first T-junction in the pedestrian zone).

Try both.

The expresso and egg tart is a great way to start the day at Margaret%26#39;s.

Lord Stow is already in Manila-Ortigas Ctr.

Anyway, depending where you are in Macau--all the way for Lord Stow,if one is in Macau Peninsula-economically does not make sense.

Nevetheless, the tarts aside,it is the ambiance of the place that may decide.

As mentioned,Senado Square,one must determine a landmark to start from,so best to use the fountain,and yellow bldg of the tourism office,from here,with fountain to your back, take a left turn.

You are walking along ';San Ma Lo';(Ribero).

well, here is a good map:- http://www.augusters.de/location-e.html

Cafe Nata is Margaret. Pay first, take the receipt to another lady in this small shop show the receipt,and you will be given your tarts, beverages(and well, you can try the cheesecake also).

Lord Stow%26#39;s has been in Manila for almost a decade. Yet everytime I go to Macau I just have to get me some! Believe me it%26#39;s different! And yes I still buy some here in Manila at times (they have outlets at the Podium, Market Market, Glorietta 4, and SM Mall of Asia).

Will make sure to visit Margaret%26#39;s soon. Actually in 2 days! Hahaha!

hey guys, i happened to stumble upon a lord stow%26#39;s outlet right here in hong kong! it%26#39;s at the lobby of excelsior hotel at causeway bay! i dunno how it measures up to the original one at macau though cos i haven tried the one in macau. i feel that the one i had at excelsior was good! sweet, egg-y, and baked to the right texture! =)
