There was this argument on which egg tart was better

Margaret's Cafe on Macau island or Lord's Stow on Taipa island.

We felt that the Lord's Stow was better cos its sweeter and the crust was more crispy.

Get me a box from Margaret's and a box from Lord's Stow, then I will tell you

Just wondering (afterall its ClubSnap), how do i take good food pics? I realize that some of the shots are blurry outside the focus area, cos I too busy using low aperture. Is that right?

you sure covered quite a fair bit of food!
the crab porridge is a gigantic bowl! lol

Looks damn yummy.. having used LX3 for my travel to eastern europe, i must say it's very useful esp for food photography. I tried the portugese egg tart from a small shop... but i cant rem the name.. is it one of these 2?

The crab porriage looks like the one they feature on some HK foodie show...
