According to the research we made, 1st Macanese Portuguese style egg tart was created by Andrew Stow, an English gentleman who founded Lord Stow’s Bakery. During a trip to Portugal in late-80’s, he was inspired by the Pasteis de Nata ,he later developed his very own version of Poturguese style egg tart base on numerous experimentation he had performed with his unique English's touch. His creation attracted tens of thousands foodies and his little bakery at Coloane became famous. Since then, franchises established one after another in Japan, the Philippines, Thailand and Taiwan.
As Coloane was way too far from our hotel, we regret we did not make it to sample this most original Macanese-Portuguese style egg tart. We however went for Margaret's Cafe e Nata run by Andrew's ex-wife near Hotel Sintra, which was said serving equally good Portuguese tart.
Portuguese style egg tart features slightly charred caramel on the top surface of egg custard filling. 
Cappuccino & mocha served along with the tarts. 
Buttery pastry combined with rich creamy filling, Margaret’s egg tart is certainly the best among those I have sampled so far.

This was the Auntie who buzzed around for order taking at the same time making preparation. That's why it took ages to serve!
The hand-made meat balls (both pork and beef) are the best selling items here. Auntie asked if we want to add in raw egg, heard this enhances the taste and the texture of the porridge. Haunted by the fear of 
Since water crab congee was not available, Moon and myself chose porridge with pork balls+fish. The pork balls were excellent and fishy smell was adeptly done away, GOOD!! 
Brother in law had beef balls+pork liver. The pork liver was amazingly well done, never overly cooked. As for the beef balls, not the best but went well with this super smooth porridge.
Cheong Chai, another cousin of Moon does not have any liking for porridge. Being so considerate, Auntie even suggested us to get him some chee cheong fun take away from the stall outside.
The porridge, or rather the hospitality of Auntie that wins my high praise. Moon and myself will definitely come again on our next visit to Macau. 
These are the dishes we had for the night. 
3.Caracois A Francesa 法式局蜗牛 
4.Galinha Africana (非洲鸡）.It's also known as "African chicken", one of the signature dish served in most Macanese Portuguese restaurants. Cooked with lotsa of spices, the taste is not something I 'm familiar with, kinda hot but within my tolerance (as being a Malaysian) . ;-P
MOP590 for the above dishes including bun, white rice and tea. quite pricey actually, coz the portion was small, my stomach was not that well fed after the meal. ;-( Dining atmosphere on the other hand was good, the place is spacious with comfortable seats.
Same like any other major cities in 
Although it's all artificial and looked a little tacky, the establishment itself was absolutely spectacular!
The Chinese generally believe that bird nest is rich in nutrients that may help to enhance one's immune system and skin complexion. This also explains why the 3 ladies were so fascinated by this bird nest thingy!
Freshly baked is definitely the superb selling point of this shop! Frankly, you won't be able to tell whether there's any bird nest or not, the taste of bird nest iteslf does not have any significant characteristic . 
This was Ying's first Portuguese tart in Macau, finally! ;-)
Serradura, literally means "Sawdust" in Portuguese (木糠甜品). It is one of the popular Macanese dessert.
Being a typical tourist, I know Moon very well, she would not forgo any single chance to try the local delicacy!
It was 15 past 2, only few tables were occupied, we managed to get 2 tables, put them together, just nice to accomodate the 10 of us.
A waitor came forward for order taking
Immediately I leapt into the queue while Moon was busy snapping pictures for our blog....Apparently, we were not the only group doing that, some even holding a much more sophisticated camera than ours! 
Ying, Moon & Yee wanted a pic of taking the FIRST BITE of this famous pork chop bun! 
"Yi Shun, that's the one", Moon pointed at the stunning pink building ahead of us and shouted out excitedly!
When we approached the shop, we saw array of bowls filled with two-layer milk
Beside the two layer milk, there are sandwiches, fruity milk shake and other kind of snack for sale.
Moon wanted to sample the most original two-layer milk, so we requested one hot and one cold to share out.
I put 1 big spoon to my mouth and it went straight to my throat...Ummmph......the sweetened wobbly consistency was SMOOTH! After trying both, Moon and myself thought the taste of the cold one was mild and it' s better.
Our conclusion is, egg custard was the best among all! ;-P
Senado Square surrounded by bright pastel South European-styled buildings and paved with black and white cobblestones. It is also a popular venue to host public events.
It is a 3-storey eatery with compact layout so much so there are tables set on the staircase. 
Almost each table was taking noodle and porridge, we thought of having noodle as well. 
The chili was quite different from the one in Malaysia, it tasted a bit oily and salty.
Moon and myself had wantan mee. The noodle was so dried and it's close to tasteless...Bad choice!
We also ordered char siew (BBQ pork) and roasted duck to go with the noodle.
Fried dumpling was crispy except too little filling!
Despite our high anticipation, we walked out the shop with great disappointment! The texture of the noodle was somewhat hard (to be frank, THIS probably is the worse noodle I have ever had so far). A very wrong decision for our first lunch in Macau indeed! ;-( 
Being new to this place, we decided not to waste time and pay MOP150 to charter a van to send us to 
Sofitel Ponte 16 After Dark 
The hotel’s lobby was glitzy while the receptionist was friendly and helpful with our enquiry. Next to the lift lied the entrance of the hotel's Casino. 
Upon our request, we were given a none-smoking room on 15th floor. We could see the colorful Grand Lisboa glittering away from our room. 
Our room was tastefully decorated with ultra-modern and brand new furnitures.
Writing desk 
37" LCD Flat TV
Toilet and shower were separate cubicles that made of glass. Besides, the bathroom was also facilitated with huge bathtub & remote LCD TV. 
The quality amenities from L'Occitane was Moon's favorite. She liked it so much that she packed everything into her toiletries' bag on the day we bid farewell to Sofitel Ponte 16. ;-P
Apart from the beautiful interior, the hotel itself is just a stone thrown from Senado Square and Ruins of St Paul's whereby heaps of eateries and shops are accessible on foot across the street. If you are looking for a less busy hotel for relaxaion, Sofitel Ponte 16 is no doubt an ideal choice for you! ;-)
