Who invented the egg tart?
The earliest Portuguese egg tart came from an Englishman, Andrew Stowe. After eating the traditional pastry Pasteis de Nata in Belem, a city near Lisbon, he decided to add his own ideas to the traditional recipes. So he opened Andrew's cake shop near Macau Road 1989, and made a popular Portuguese egg tart with lard, flour, water and eggs, as well as English pastry.

Although the Portuguese egg tart was created by Andrew, it is famous for the marriage between Andrew and his wife. 1996, Andrew and his wife Margaret's marriage broke up. Margaret left Andrew to start a new stove, renamed her shop "Margaret", and settled in Hong Kong and Taiwan Province, inadvertently rolling up a whirlwind of Portuguese egg tarts.
