Margaret's Café e Nata 瑪嘉烈蛋撻 (Macau, CHINA) ★★★★☆

Now that we've got lunch taken care of, we could finally follow our original itinerary which had Margaret's Café e Nata (瑪嘉烈蛋撻) as our first stop. It was about a 10-minute walk from our lunch venue but with elderly and kid around, it took almost twice the time required to reach our first destination.



To our pleasant surprise, the lineup was a relatively short one and everyone got to enjoy a pastel de nata without much of a wait.

Some said this is as authentic as it gets in Macau and I have no objection to that saying at all. The crisp and flaky crust envelopes the silky, creamy, and milky filling of egg custard which was slightly burnt to deliver some nice smokiness.  

It's little nugget's first venture to Macau and he's enjoying every minute of it so far with the exception of the heat.

Perhaps, the only knock with Margaret's is its outside seating, the only space available from the café to enjoy their delicious egg tarts on the spot. Not the most ideal place to enjoy food while sitting in front of an alleyway facing the back of an old residential building.
