  • Introduction to Video Content
  • In this video, Josh and Ollie embark on a quest to find the best egg tarts in the world. They start their journey at Lord Stowe's Bakery in Macau, the OG (Original Gangster) of egg tarts. Lord Stowe's Bakery is known for its unique combination of Portuguese and Southern Chinese influences, resulting in a beautiful and delicious treat. Eileen, the sister of Lord Stowe himself, reveals that their egg tarts are handmade and they sell around 30,000 of them each day across their three branches. Josh and Ollie eagerly try the egg tarts, which are still warm from the oven, and they are left in awe of the layers and perfection of the pastry. Stay tuned as they continue their quest to find the best egg tart in Macau.
  • Subtitles section
  • We're trying the best egg tarts in the world.
  • Oh!
  • Wow.
  • Wow.
  • Mm.
  • OK. Boba egg tart.
  • Wow.
  • So that's a 243 layered egg tart.
  • Wait.
  • It sounds like someone's exaggerating.
  • What?
  • Hi. I'm Josh.
  • I'm Ollie.
  • And I'm extremely excited about this one, Ollie.
  • We're trying the best egg tarts in the world.
  • Lord Stowe himself.
  • Lord Stowe's Bakery.
  • It is the OG. David Beckham introduced it to us.
  • He introduced this to me.
  • Since then, I've not stopped dreaming about it.
  • It's a combination of Portuguese and Southern Chinese, and they've created something beautiful.
  • We're going to try this, and then we're going to try some of the others.
  • We need to find the best egg tart in Macau.
  • Oh. Smells.
  • It smells like butter and pastry.
  • Hi. I'm Eileen.
  • Eileen.
  • Lovely to meet you.
  • Are you the lord?
  • I'm the lord's sister.
  • OK. The lady.
  • Sister.
  • Well, you can't call me lady.
  • OK. My brother just fell in love with Macau and wanted a reason to stay.
  • He was a scientist by qualifications, and he'd always loved cooking, so he then decided to do something for the local Portuguese.
  • Bastardized their pastel de nata recipe by mixing it with an English twist.
  • Yeah.
  • And then all the Portuguese went, oh, it's not a pastel de nata.
  • But he went, if you don't like it, don't buy it.
  • Fair enough.
  • Well, something clearly works.
  • How many do you think you sell each day?
  • Across our three branches, it's around 30,000 a day.
  • 30,000.
  • All handmade.
  • So there you go.
  • Oh, fantastic.
  • Thank you.
  • Our egg tart.
  • It's still warm.
  • Oh, it's very warm.
  • Yes, it is.
  • Oh, that is exciting.
  • Thank you so much.
  • Good to see you guys.
  • Thanks, Eileen.
  • Safe trip to wherever.
  • OK. Man, I've never been this ready for an egg tart.
  • It's perfection.
  • You can see the layers around the edge.
  • It's just a thing of beauty, isn't it?
  • It really is a thing of beauty.
  • Mm. Mm. Mm.
  • Oh, my god.
  • Mm. Can you see how soft that filling is?
  • Mm. Look at that.
  • It is eggier than a pastel de nanta.
  • The crust is perfectly done.
  • Mm-hmm.
  • The egg is like a custard as well.
  • You can tell that this was invented by a scientist.
  • You know?
  • It's perfectly balanced.
  • She said baking is a science.
  • I guess it's all about like tiny little improvements in the ingredient amounts, but like tiny adjustments.
  • One has to marvel at the versatility of eggs.
  • It's how fish, birds, reptiles, and rabbits give birth.
  • Rabbits?
  • Easter eggs.
  • No, you're an idiot.
  • You are an idiot.
  • You can scramble them, fry them, boil them, poach them.
  • And you can whack them in a tart, turn them into...
  • One of the greatest things you can ever consume.
  • Last night, we were suited and booted in a Michelin-star restaurant.
  • Having one of the greatest meals of our life.
  • However, right now, we're sat on the street.
  • It's on par, isn't it?
  • It's that level of quality.
  • An individual work of art in every box.
  • Every mouthful has felt like a little work of art.
  • We're getting to experience artistry through not only seeing beautiful food, but tasting, smelling as well.
  • And it's not that kind of weird art that makes you feel really uncomfortable and a bit sick.
  • It's classical, and it's emotional.
  • It's Michelangelo.
  • This is the Sistine Chapel of brunch food.
  • Wow, look at this next place.
  • This is like proper local Macau.
  • It's amazing.
  • It's the place we're going to be trying the rest of the egg tarts from around Macau.
  • But they also specialize in something else that Beckham recommended to me.
  • Milk tea coffee.
  • What?
  • Milk tea coffee?
  • Those are three separate drinks.
  • That is good.
  • It tastes a little bit like boba, like milk tea.
  • Yeah.
  • But then it's got that Vietnamese coffee almost, you know that intense, strong coffee undertone.
  • Yeah.
  • It's like a taste illusion.
  • Yeah.
  • No, but you get the tea, and then you get the coffee distinctly.
  • It doesn't mix together to make this weird amalgamation.
  • You get both tastes.
  • It's fascinating.
  • It's really weird.
  • It is refreshing.
  • It's really good.
  • It's very refreshing in this heat.
  • Iced.
  • Delicious.
  • You might say a perfect pairing for some egg tarts.
  • Okay.
  • First up.
  • So that's a 243 layered egg tart.
  • Wait.
  • It sounds like someone's exaggerating.
  • What?
  • I don't believe it.
  • I don't believe it.
  • Wow.
  • Look at that.
  • You can see the layers.
  • It's not caramelized on the top.
  • Very sword stone.
  • This is more like a traditional sort of southern Chinese style egg tart.
  • Let's do it.
  • This does look good.
  • Okay.
  • Wow.
  • That is so flaky.
  • I believe there's 243 layers.
  • Maybe 200.
  • I believe.
  • It's so flaky.
  • It's almost powdery.
  • You know?
  • Yeah, no.
  • I see what you mean.
  • When you bite into it, it just like crumbles.
  • Come on.
  • Let me feed you.
  • Oh, yeah.
  • Look how much it just flaked away when you bite into it.
  • It's almost like somewhere between like shortcrust pastry and puff pastry.
  • Yeah.
  • A little bit shortcrusty.
  • Am I allowed to say I prefer that one?
  • Wow.
  • Yeah, you can.
  • I'm not even hesitating.
  • I agree.
  • And that was the best egg tart I've ever had.
  • Wow.
  • It's like in the Olympics where someone breaks the world record and then the next guy breaks the world record again.
  • Constantly setting new records.
  • I think I prefer the texture.
  • You can have that.
  • Take that with you.
  • Next one.
  • We've gone for more traditional southern Chinese.
  • Now this is more traditional Portuguese style.
  • Wow.
  • And it's both familiar and more beautiful than any pastel de nata I've ever seen.
  • Look at the layers of that pastry.
  • This looks like an emoji of a pastel de nata.
  • Yeah, it really does.
  • I feel like every pastel de nata I've ever had has been fake.
  • Wow.
  • Wow.
  • Oh, my gosh.
  • This is absurd.
  • It's just getting better and better with every bite.
  • These three are each vastly different, like completely different from each other.
  • Very hard to say what's better, though.
  • If I was 10 years old, no competition.
  • This one, right?
  • Oh, okay.
  • Because it's sweet, it's like custard.
  • I don't think I could have more than one and a half of those.
  • Maybe two.
  • Three others.
  • The others.
  • A box.
  • Easy.
  • Wouldn't even bat an eyelid.
  • Smasher.
  • Two boxes.
  • Yeah.
  • Dye green.
  • Surprise from Macau is what it says on it.
  • Surprise.
  • Surprise.
  • Okay.
  • Are you ready to be surprised?
  • Yeah.
  • I think it's going to look like an egg tart.
  • Okay.
  • But we'll see.
  • Surprise.
  • Oh.
  • To be honest, it looks like the egg tarts have been surprised.
  • They're like, I'm not ready.
  • I'm not ready.
  • This looks a little bit like a combination of like the Chinese one and the Lord Stowe one.
  • It's delicate.
  • Very delicate.
  • Like, if I was to apply any pressure here, I could easily crush that between my opposable thumbs.
  • This looks good.
  • I'm not going to lie.
  • Whoa.
  • Okay.
  • Surprise from Macau.
  • There's something inside.
  • What is that?
  • It's caramelized like brown sugar boba.
  • You see that?
  • It actually was a surprise.
  • Yeah.
  • What the heck?
  • Kind of just makes me want to have boba.
  • Yeah.
  • Boba with an egg tart.
  • I think it's maybe just a tiny bit too much.
  • Yeah.
  • It's unnecessary.
  • I want Luke to try this.
  • Surprise from Macau.
  • Surprise from Macau.
  • I'm not going to lie.
  • It's very sweet because of the tapioca.
  • It's got that brown sugar.
  • I'm glad it's not a surprise for me.
  • If you took out the boba, I think it would be the world record holder again.
  • Wow.
  • You'd say that's your favorite if you took out the boba without the surprise.
  • Well, I mean, that's almost more surprising.
  • See, now these guys, they've literally called themselves goat.
  • Read the small print, right?
  • Greatest of all times.
  • Wow.
  • It's not just time.
  • Not just our time.
  • No. All times.
  • All multiverses.
  • Wow.
  • Wow.
  • It's a mountain.
  • Wow.
  • Okay.
  • I was wondering why the box is so big.
  • Look at the size of that.
  • How are we going to eat that?
  • It's huge.
  • The thing about goats is you never say you're the goat.
  • You have to be magnanimous.
  • Of course.
  • You know?
  • Of course.
  • Novak Djokovic, arguably the greatest of all time.
  • Yeah.
  • But if he's asked, he'll probably, you know...
  • Claim it.
  • Yeah, actually, that's a terrible example.
  • Michael Jordan.
  • Michael Jordan.
  • You never hear him go, well, actually, maybe he would say, yeah, okay.
  • Actually, maybe they do.
  • Maybe they are.
  • Maybe that's what it takes to be the goat.
  • Dammit.
  • It's the confidence.
  • I'm too humble to be a goat.
  • Oh my gosh.
  • What is that?
  • Wow.
  • Wow.
  • You got right in there.
  • What is that?
  • It looks like cheese cream.
  • Why is it cheesy?
  • It is cheesy, right?
  • It is cheesy.
  • It's cheesy in a way that I wasn't really expecting or necessarily wanting.
  • Is there cheese in that?
  • It is.
  • There is?
  • Absolutely.
  • Is there egg in it?
  • A little bit.
  • It tastes like cheesecake.
  • Oh, wow.
  • Wow.
  • I mean, they've gone full-blown croissant on the outside.
  • Pastry's excellent.
  • I've had many croissants all over the world that are nowhere near as nice and crispy as that on the outside and soft in the middle.
  • The more I eat it, the less I like it.
  • I don't know whether it's because we're on the eighth egg tart.
  • Maybe.
  • It may be.
  • And we've somehow arrived at the most intense one yet.
  • Last one.
  • I don't want this to end.
  • It's insane how good these egg tarts are.
  • One of the things I just love about traveling and eating as well is you just get to experience different foods exactly the way locals would.
  • Well, what I love about this as well is because it's such a clash of cultures, it is a Macanese specialty.
  • It's so unique.
  • You get such a variety.
  • You get Lord Stowe's that's inspired by English.
  • We've got the Portuguese tarts.
  • We've got the Boba Surprise.
  • The Southern Chinese.
  • Southern Chinese.
  • This last one is apparently more of a Thai style.
  • What is that?
  • Didn't expect it to look like that, not gonna lie.
  • I mean, what could it be, Josh?
  • Chocolate?
  • Could be.
  • Marmite?
  • It's not gonna be marmite, is it?
  • Brown sugar?
  • There's only one way to find out.
  • Gosh, I've had a lot of egg tarts.
  • You've had a lot of egg tarts.
  • Okay.
  • Okay.
  • Is it coffee?
  • Is it tea?
  • There's something.
  • There's something there.
  • Wait, there's something.
  • Tea.
  • It's tea.
  • It's tea.
  • It's tea.
  • It's tea, right?
  • It's tea.
  • It's tea.
  • It's tea.
  • That's what that is.
  • Like a milk tea.
  • It's very subtle, though.
  • I actually really, really like this.
  • Yeah?
  • You don't?
  • I'm less of a fan.
  • I would have that for breakfast if none of these were available.
  • I'd choose that over the dough.
  • And over the tapioca balls.
  • Oh, I like the...
  • No, hang on.
  • I actually like the tapioca one.
  • All right.
  • Well, look.
  • I'd put this in second to last.
  • Let's decide.
  • I think it's a clear decision between the top two.
  • No question.
  • Okay.
  • These are the top two right here.
  • Well, what's the bottom?
  • Bottoms go, mate.
  • You know, interesting.
  • Fun.
  • They're trying too hard.
  • The finalists are right here.
  • Second layer.
  • Gosh.
  • My heart skipped a beat then.
  • I thought we were out.
  • We need to taste test the final two.
  • It's got a great nose feel.
  • Okay.
  • Nose feel?
  • That's not...
  • It's mouth feel.
  • Or nose.
  • Wow.
  • Wow.
  • That is a lot better than any of these.
  • A lot better.
  • I can have one of them with every meal.
  • Really?
  • Yeah.
  • Every single meal?
  • Three times a day.
  • I love that.
  • I absolutely love that.
  • The pastry is so good.
  • So flaky and soft.
  • The 243 layers.
  • That's it.
  • Back to Lord Stowe's.
  • Very different.
  • Like, they are very distinct.
  • Oh, that is good too.
  • The pastry on this one is a lot better than any of these.
  • The pastry on this one is better.
  • Wow.
  • But the filling is better on that one.
  • You think?
  • I think so.
  • It's so close though.
  • I don't know if I can decide.
  • Unfortunately, that's one of the very few downsides of your job.
  • Our two victors.
  • It feels a little bit anticlimactic.
  • Well, the thing is...
  • We've just eaten like 20 egg tarts and we still haven't come to a conclusion what the best one in Macau is.
  • But I would say if you come to Macau and you don't try either of these, you're missing out.
  • Oh, you're making a huge mistake.
  • If you don't try both of these, you're missing out.
  • You're also missing out.
  • You're missing out.
  • Should we rock, paper, scissors for it?
  • Or are we going to leave it up to fate?
  • Leave it up to the tart gods.
  • Flaky boy or the Lord?
  • Yes.
  • Please, Lord, help me.
  • Yeah, okay.
  • Okay.
  • You ready?
  • I'm ready.
  • I'm going to throw a rock.
  • Easy, really.
  • I'm going to throw a paper.
  • Okay.
  • Okay.
  • Rock, paper, scissors, shoot!
  • Oh!
  • Praise the Lord!
  • Praise the Lord!
  • Praise it!
  • Oh!
  • For the first time ever in Jolly Channel history, Ollie's won rock, paper, scissors.
  • Okay, so Lord Stowe does win.
  • And it's decided.
  • The Lord wins.
  • The Lord wins.
  • The Lord reigns.
  • Let the earth be glad.
  • Yeah.
  • Let the distant shores rejoice.
  • That sounds like a direct quote.
  • Okay.
  • You know what?
  • Look.
  • I'm not disappointed.
  • That is one of the best egg tarts I've ever had in my entire life, the other being right here.
  • Yeah.
  • And overall, I think everyone wins.
  • Who'd have thought this tiny place in China is home to the best egg tarts in the world?
  • Like undeniably.
  • Some.
  • Just.
  • Undeniably.
  • Incredible.
  • Incredible.
  • So much variety.
  • A lot of fun.
  • I would say, honestly, worth the trip just for this.
  • Seriously?
  • Seriously.
  • And that milk tea coffee.
  • Oh my gosh.
  • Yeah.
  • Less so, but yeah.
  • I was a big fan.
  • All right.
  • Well, for now.
  • We'll see you Jolly soon.
