    In Macau's Coloane Village, the delicious smell of butter gently wafts through the air, attracting customers into a small, unassuming(不张扬的)shop. It is Lord Stow's Bakery, famed for its Portuguese egg tarts. They have a flaky(酥脆的)texture, while the custard(牛奶蛋糊)is not too sweet.
    The bakery was started by Andrew Stow 32 years ago. Originally from Essex in eastern England, Andrew worked for British drugstore chain Boots as an industrial pharmacist(工业药剂师)He moved to Macau in 1979 to work for Anglo French Laboratories. When the company left a few years later, Andrew decided to stay and set up his own business selling health foods, which was of course 20 years ahead of its time.
    The business did not do well. To make ends meet, Andrew took a side job managing Alfonso's Restaurant at the Hyatt Regency Hotel. He got the name "Lord Stow" from his Portuguese friends, who laughed at him for lording it over them.
    Although his health food business never took off, Andrew found a niche importing flour for expatriates(侨)who wanted to make their own bread. When he went to Portugal, Andrew saw the roadside bakeries selling pasteis de nata (Portuguese egg tarts). He thought about introducing it to Macau.
    The only problem was that Andrew did not have a recipe for pesteis de nata, but he was not discouraged. He started experimenting. With the help of a chef friend at the Hyatt Regency, he developed his own version of pasties de nata. It featured a Portuguese pastry(油酥面皮)case filled with a British custard that is slightly burned on the top.
    After Andrew died suddenly of asthma(哮喘)in October2006, his sister Eileen continued managing the business. "I can't believe the business has grown this much in 32 years. And I doubt whether Andrew expected that it would have a long history, " she says.
    The Macau government honored Andrew with a gold medal for his services to tourism. They recognized that he had created an iconic(标志性的)pastry that would be forever linked with Macau.
