Feitoira do Cacao - Egg Tart

“Pastel de Nata” is one of the most popular Portuguese sweets in the world. In Portugal, you can find this wonderful pastry in any café, but its origins date back to the “Pasteis de Belém” factory. It was founded in 1837, where it inherited at the time, the ancestral recipe of the Jerónimos monastery. And even today, its original recipe remains a secret.

 In the 1980s, English resident in Macau Andrew Stow visited Portugal, and loved the Pastel de Belém. He wanted to introduce this sweet in Macau, but as he couldn't get the recipe, he reinvented in his own way, applying local ingredients and Macanese taste.

 Thus, one of Macao's most popular sweets, “Egg Tart”, was born. In honor of this sweet connection between Portugal and Macau, we created this special recipe. With inclusions of Portuguese Egg Tart, whose texture of crunchy dough with a touch of cinnamon and lemon, which characterize the Portuguese “Pastel de Nata”.
