CONCEPT

The design of Lord Stow Bakery & Café celebrates the life, works, and mission of the late English-born Macau resident Andrew Stow. Known affectionately as “Lord Stow” by locals, he played a key role in reviving the peninsula’s interest in Portuguese pasteis de nata (egg tarts), creating his own signature version that sparked a culinary craze across Asia. The Lord Stow’s design incorporates four important elements of his life: his English roots (English traditional), his early career in pharmaceuticals (industrial elements), his later culinary fame (laboratory-inspired details), and the story of his journey (memory).
