EGG TARTS | MACAU

I DIE.

If I ate egg tarts from Lord Stow's for every breakfast, lunch, and dinner of my stay in Macau, I'd be one happy girl. Forget the rest of my Macau posts, these egg tarts were the best thing I put in my mouth! I seriously think we found the best egg tart bakery there... They were churning these babies out every 15 minutes. I got a peep at the bakery window and it was dominated by egg tart production - definitely their specialty. We went twice, and both times our tarts were still warm when served... MMM. They tasted like little cups of heaven... The pastry crust was flaky, crunchy and not too thick. It was like the perfect pot for the custard filling, which reminded me a bit of creme brulee. The tops were caramelized and they were just amazing. Kinda hope my dad goes for another trip - I know what to ask for pasalubong ;)

*Nevermind! Just found out they have Lord Stow's here in Manila too. Score.

Vergnano Italian | MACAU

It's nice to know that Dad thought "the kids" were decent enough to bring to dinner with some business colleagues. It was the one night where no dinner meetings were held, so everyone was free to plan their own evening. We went to an Italian restaurant in the heart of St Mark's square; the area of the hotel where the ceilings are painted to replicate the sky and the canals are built to make you feel as if you're enjoying an al fresco meal in Venice. A fun, vacation-like atmosphere indeed. Jon, Chris and I sat at the end of a long table - so we were kind of in our own world, talking about our own thang. I got the chance to blog about our food; not everyone else's. Pictures below :)

Jon, Chris & I got a pizza to share for appetizer... 4 Cheese

Chris got Lobster Risotto, one of his fave dishes when eating out

Got myself a big bowl of Angel Hair Aglio Oglio

Jon got a nice cut of steak... Chris and I helped him finish this

Thanks for the family pic, Jon! PS this was not in the St. Mark's Square area.

Illy Espressamente | MACAU

If I see an Illy Espressamente while traveling, I'm always sure to take a coffee break there. It's my favorite coffee "chain." Each and every latte I've had comes out perfect over and over again...
