Must-eat foods in Macau

Macau is famous for its casinos, so much so that it is called the Las Vegas of Asia.
Not only casinos, but also many Michelin restaurants, famous dessert shops, and street food are a gourmet's paradise.

- Egg Tarts
Portuguese egg tarts originated in Portuguese monasteries 200 years ago, but they became famous only after they were introduced to Macau.
Hong Kong's egg tarts use tart dough to create a crispy cookie texture, while Macau's egg tarts use pastry dough to create a crispier texture and a stronger bread-like texture.

- Juppapao
Juppapao is a food derived from the Portuguese pork sandwich, Vichana.
It is a Macau-style burger with thick-cut grilled pork between crispy baguette bread.
There are no vegetables or sauces inside the bread, but the combination of the charcoal flavor of the meat and the bread goes so well together that it is delicious.

- Macanese
Macau was a Portuguese colony for a long time, and as a result, It also influenced food culture.
Macau has adopted various food cultures from not only Portugal but also Africa, India, China, Southeast Asia, etc. that were Portuguese colonies, and the food made with Macau's unique taste is called Macanese.
Macanese cuisine uses various spices, European ingredients (representative example is bacalhau), etc. and there are many dishes that are a mixture of Asia and Europe.
