By | Travel, Yummy! | No Comments

I read in the internet while googling that you should eat EGG TART when in Macau.  According to out tour guide, Mom, Lord Stowe is the BEST!   I don’t really eat egg tarts so I would not be able to validate that but it was really YUMMY!  We went to this branch, only to find out there was a store in the Venetian though we are not sure if they are being freshly baked over there.
