The foods of Macau

Macau food is a unique blend of Portuguese, Chinese and Asian influences, reflecting the history and culture of the region. Some of the most popular Macau dishes are:
Pastel de nata: These are Portuguese egg tarts with a flaky crust and a creamy custard filling, topped with a caramelized layer. They are best enjoyed fresh and warm from the oven.
Pork chop buns: These are simple but satisfying snacks consisting of a crispy fried pork chop sandwiched between two toasted buns. They are juicy, tender and flavorful.
Almond cookies: These are crumbly cookies made with ground almonds, sugar and lard. They have a nutty and buttery taste and melt in your mouth. They are often sold in souvenir shops and bakeries.
Shrimp roe noodles: These are thin egg noodles tossed with shrimp roe, soy sauce, lard and scallions. They have a springy texture and a savory flavor, enhanced by the pops of shrimp roe.
