Margaret’s Café e Nata 玛嘉烈蛋挞 (Macau)

Margaret’s Café e Nata 玛嘉烈蛋挞 is a small popular cafe tucked away in a hidden alley, with many rating this as a must try places in Macau. It will be no easy feat looking for this place unless you know the Macau well. (Luckily someone in our group knows Macau) No worries, a map is provided at the end of the post! The hint is that it is located near Lisboa Casino.

Margaret’s Café e Nata is best known for its Portuguese egg tarts. Other items such as pastries, cakes, pizzas, sandwiches and coffee are also avaliable. 
Reaching Margaret’s Café e Nata at 1030am, there was a long queue stretching out of the cafe onto the alley. There were at least 15 to 20 people in the queue. The alley is basically empty except for this corner where the cafe is.


How long a wait was it before we reached the end of the queue? I have no idea, but it did not seems long. As we were queuing, we managed to get a table too.
Portuguese Egg tarts
The original intention was to take away the Portugese Egg Tarts as there the tables were all full. Hence, the paper box and not plates. But since we found a table for 6, we decided to eat on the spot. A dozen egg tarts, 2 per person. 

Margaret's Portugese Egg Tarts blew me away. It was piping hot, fresh out of the oven. On the outside, flaky, crispy buttery crust. Inside, soft, moderately sweet, rich and tasty caramelised egg custard. Another 'die die must try', best eaten on the spot when it is freshly baked! 
Milk Tea (hot)
Milk Tea to accompany the egg tarts and keep ourselves warm on a cold December morning. 

If you are in Macau, this is a place you must visit especially if you are a foodie!
