Pastel de nata are an iconic food in Portugal, and I've had at least two of them in as many days. Still, one of the most famous shops, Manteigaria, was just a few doors down from O Trevo, so I figured that I might as well get one more before heading to the airport later (Rua do Loreto 2, 21-347-1492). The most important thing to keep in mind when comparing them to Macanese egg tarts is the crust: these were almost like phyllo pastry with a bit of tension in the exterior, all while being filled with a rich crème brulée-like custard, which one in turn can dust with cinnamon. Yeah, they're pretty good.
