In addition, Macao's food is very rich and famous, so you must try it. Here is a brief introduction:
Portuguese cuisine
Tasting Portuguese food in Macao is like being in southern Europe. Moreover, Portuguese food in Macao can be divided into Portuguese food and authentic Macao food. However, most Portuguese restaurants in Macao cook authentic Macao Portuguese food. These dishes can be said to be chinese odyssey. They combine the cooking techniques of Portuguese, Indian, Malaysian and China (especially Guangdong) dishes, and take care of the oriental tastes.
The most famous authentic Portuguese dish is Ma Jiexiu (Portuguese favorite salted cod). This kind of fish can be roasted, roasted, braised or roasted in different ways. Other famous Portuguese foods include red bean pig's hand, oxtail or oxbreast and green vegetable soup. This vegetable soup is made of mashed potatoes, Portuguese sausages, lettuce and olive oil (the essential ingredients of Portuguese food), and its taste is different.
In addition, the Portuguese learned food cooking skills from Africa and India and created African chickens with rich spices. There is also Portuguese chicken, which can only be eaten in Macao. It is a delicious food, which is baked with chicken, potatoes, onions, eggs and saffron and curry that is not spicy. Speaking of curry food, it is worth mentioning that curry crab is a delicious food not to be missed.
Macau gourmet raiders
Macao can be described as a combination of Japanese, Korean and Thai cuisines. In addition, there are music bars and Portuguese cafes. The most attractive things are authentic local Portuguese food and special snacks of various snack bars, among which Portuguese egg tarts are the most famous.
The food in Macao Island is mainly concentrated in Sandeng District, Xinma Road, in front of the Chamber, Dasanba and Dasha Road. Taizai is famous for its seafood and traditional snacks in the old city, and it is concentrated in ——Rua do Cunha, Taizai's food street. There is a delicious barbecue on the black beach and the old cake shop of Mr. Andrew, the founder of Portuguese egg tart.
1. Three Lamps District area, also known as "Jialumier Round Ground", is named because there is a street lamp in the center of the round ground, which radiates in all directions with the surrounding alleys as the center. Sandeng District, with many specialties from Southeast Asian countries, is the most famous "Yaxin Myanmar Restaurant" in Feineng Convenience Street.
2. Xinma Road-the area in front of the discussion pavilion-Dasanba-Dama Road covers the main tourist areas in Macao, and there are many famous time-honored brands, such as Princess Margaret, Yishun Milk Company, Pan Rongji's "egg-reducing" money cakes and Huangzhiji porridge noodle experts!
First, snacks
Macao snacks are definitely a special landscape on the streets of Macao. Strolling along the stone street that combines ancient and modern times, the attractive fragrance and rich and varied food in the restaurant will definitely increase your appetite. Crispy and sweet egg tarts, white and smooth stewed milk and juicy pork buns are all your best choices.
Recommended: Andrew egg tart
Andrew, English, former restaurant manager of Hyatt Regency Macau. 1989, he found a delicious dessert in a small town near Lisbon, Portugal, which is said to have been invented by a local nun. After returning to Macau, Andrew devoted himself to research, combined this dim sum with English egg tarts, and created his own "Macau Portuguese Tart" by means of Cantonese milk stew: a multi-layer crispy flowerpot-shaped cake tray was filled with cream and eggs, and dark brown caramel was placed on it, which was slightly sweet but not greasy. After the successful research on egg tart, Andrew resigned in the same year and opened a cake shop. "Andrew Egg Tart" quickly became popular in Macau and spread to Hongkong, Taiwan Province and other parts of Asia. In Taiwan Province Province, people created an "economic miracle" of eating 2 million Andrew egg tarts in a month. There is also a saying circulating in Macao. Someone said, "You have never been to Macau without eating egg tarts."
Andrew is cold and low-key. Although he is famous in Macao, he still likes to go to the old shop every day to take care of everything. He doesn't like being interviewed by reporters, but he is happy to greet customers and take pictures as a souvenir. He also likes to take his dog Lulu for a walk around the island. Unfortunately, Andrew, who was in his fifties, died in June 2006.
Today, the location of Andrew's bakery has become a famous tourist attraction. The nearby cake shops, beautiful churches and ancient Taoist temples attracted crowds of tourists and brought the story of this Macao dessert to all directions.

Magalepta
When it comes to Andrew's egg tart, we can't help mentioning Andrew's wife, Tang Zhihui (Margaret). Ms. Tang is from Macao. At that time, she and Andrew joined hands to conquer the world. It's a pity that nature plays tricks on people. 1997, once lovers parted ways, and their "egg tart business" was also divided into two parts: Andrew continued to run an old shop around the island, and Ms. Tang went to Macau Peninsula to run the "Margaret" egg tart house. Two people across the sea, the significance of singing to Taiwan Province is self-evident. Although they have the same taste, the "Margaret" egg tart house has a coffee stall, which is more romantic.
Ms. Tang also sold this recipe to KFC, a fast food giant, and now the "Portuguese egg tart" of KFC chain store in Chinese mainland is made with this recipe.
Transportation: Walking out of the main road of Taiziyin, I saw a row of gold shops in the alley behind them (parallel to them).

Recommended: Yishun Milk Company
The milk stew shop, located next to Pavilion Square, is a local time-honored brand in Macau, with a history of over 1.50 years, and now it has been operating for the fifth generation. At first, the boss's family owned a ranch, from raising cattle and milking to selling it to today's stew shop. It is said that in order to make the fresh milk for stewing milk more mellow, cows are excellent breeds specially introduced from Europe and Australia. Specially recommend two signature desserts, "famous double-skin stewed milk" and "clever ginger juice bumping milk". Although it looks unremarkable, it is tender and fragrant and unforgettable.

Recommended: pig bag.
The pork bun from Italy is full of weight, delicious, refreshing and sweet, with strong but not greasy pork flavor, crisp outside and tender inside, which makes people memorable. Therefore, in the hot summer, diners come from afar and wait in line for a freshly baked pork bun in the scorching sun. The pork buns here are baked from 3 pm to 4 pm every day. The limit is 500 on weekdays and about 800 on holidays. It's gone if you come late. Please come early tomorrow!
It is understood that the uniqueness of Italian pork bun lies in that it uses an old wood stove for baking. In order to keep the quality and freshness, the shopkeeper only prepares just enough bread ingredients to bake a furnace every day. The pork chops selected are bone chops (clean pork chops are generally used in workshops). Pork chops are characterized by moderate fat and thin, marinated with exclusive spices, and fried after loosening the bones. Pork chops are fried to rosin, and the outer layer is served with bread baked in a charcoal stove. They can be eaten together with pork chops, which can absorb some oil and make them crisp outside and tender inside.
Usually, Italian cafes are packed. In tea time on holidays, there will be a large number of diners waiting in front of the store, because besides pork buns, you can also choose pork chop noodles, rice noodles or pork chop toast, as well as curry squid and curry fish eggs.

Other snacks:
Book of Rites Ice Cream
Very simple packaging, but it has a beautiful taste. The craftsmanship handed down from generation to generation by the store is so natural and mellow without adding any flavors and accessories! Open every day 13: 00, first come, first served, while stocks last.
In Macao, everyone knows about ritual ice cream, which has been homemade for more than 60 years. Attractive red bean ice cream, fragrant coconut ice cream, granular red bean ice cream, large ice cream brick, special ice cream sandwich, special banana boat … The ice cream produced by Book of Rites has one thing in common, that is, it brings people satisfaction and happiness. If you want to find back the leisurely style of the ice room in the 1960s and 1970s and the unforgettable taste of traditional ice cream, you might as well try the Book of Rites ice cream when you go to Macau during the holiday.
There are several large ice cream refrigerators in the Book of Rites ice cream shop, which are filled with more than ten kinds of ice cream, most of which are traditional fruit flavors. They are all freshly made in the workshop of Book of Rites every day. Ice cream is made of seasonal fruits, 100% raw materials, without adding pigments and spices, which makes ice cream have natural fragrance and taste. Coconut, taro and mango are the most popular fruit flavors. I tried its newly developed peanut flavor, which is as sweet as eating peanut butter.
Eating the ice cream in the Book of Rites will make you feel that its texture is thicker than other ice creams on the market, and some people may think it is not smooth enough. But it is this method that makes the ice cream in the Book of Rites "not melt", and makes the eater sigh slowly to the last bite, still eating ice cream instead of drinking ice cream water, which is also a major feature of the ice cream in the Book of Rites.

"Six Records" Red Bean Cake
No matter how fried, you won't feel greasy when you bite it in your mouth. Perhaps this is the mystery of ancestral craftsmanship. ...
Six pieces of red bean cakes are only sold in winter. After the Book of Rites, I went to the Sanba archway, opened a red bean cake shop for more than 40 years, and constantly fried crispy red bean cakes, which made people want to stop. This red bean cake was taken over by the second generation, but it is only sold every winter. From the Mid-Autumn Festival to May and June next year, the delicious red bean cake evokes many childhood memories of Macao people. Each one only sells 3 yuan, and the red bean cake stuffing is made by the secret recipe of our ancestors. After the dough was fried in lard, the whole dough was soaked. The locals say that the red bean cake stuffing is very sweet, but it is actually very sweet.

"Liu Yang beef porridge"
The real folk delicacy was born in this seemingly inconspicuous stall, and the soft and rotten beef offal was lying in the rice congee, which was so comfortable. ...
A very ordinary shop, but because of a bowl of beef offal porridge ($7.50), many other people went to this cross-lane shop to look for delicious food. The beef offal is fresh, and the porridge that the local people pay special attention to is very slippery, which is enough to make this bowl of porridge get full marks. If you want to be slick, don't let go of the bullwhip, feet and ladder.
This old shop has been open for nearly 40 years. Thick rice porridge soup base is made by boiling beef offal in a clay pot, and adding 10 kinds of Chinese herbal medicines and unique ingredients, which removes the fishy smell of beef offal and increases the unique flavor, so it can better show the delicacy of the soup, and finally sprinkle chopped green onion to enhance the taste.

Huang Zhi Ji Mianjia
It has a long history. Wonton Noodles is a special place. Wonton is full and shrimp is elastic. It's really rare. Just take a bite and talk about it. Shrimp noodles are another skill. The bamboo tube noodles are very thin and chewy, and a lot of shrimps are sprinkled on the noodles, so the whole chewing process is particularly crispy.

Macau calligraphy:
The pace of life of Macao people is much slower than that of Hong Kong people, which makes them insist on food. For tourists who have just arrived in Macao, Portuguese cuisine is of course an inevitable choice, but what is more interesting is the traditional cuisine that is not easy to find in Guangzhou. Like almond cake, beef jerky, lard cake, shortcake, ginger candy, peanut candy and so on, Macao people call these things both snacks and gifts, collectively referred to as "handwritten letters".
There are dozens of "handwritten letter" shops on the cross-shaped pony road in Qingpingzhi Street and Longfuxin Street, which are called "handwritten letter" streets. Sidewalks, large and small, are filled with specialty foods, ranging from boxed almond cakes and bulk beef jerky to plums, lemons and bazhen fruits weighed in glass jars. Tourists wander between shops, usually with big bags and small bags, and return with full loads.
Among hundreds of "calligraphy" brands in Macau, Daji and Zui Xiang Garden are the two biggest brands. Zui Xiang Garden is a time-honored brand, and Daji started by pushing customers to sell peanut candy and ginger candy. Seven branches have been opened in tiny Macao, which can be said to be all over the street. Macao people have an almost stubborn attitude towards the production of traditional food. Many delicacies are made and sold immediately, and they are all processed by human hands. I can only remember the scene when I was a child.
Recommended places to buy handwritten letters in Macau:
1. Qingpingzhi Street and Longfuxin Street
2. Big Sanba Street
3.Taipa Rua do Cunha
