In our recent visit to Macau, the culprit was FOOD! For this trip, we hit tables to enjoy the real taste of Macau somewhere at the corner of an old snack shop or on the street instead of trying our luck at blackjack tables at the casinos to possibly come home with thousand dollars / ringgits richer. The distinctive cuisine available in Macau makes this city a paradise for food lovers like us. Make sure to check out our food journey across Macau and myths about where to find them in Macau before you go.

So, the first thing we did was: grab a cup of Gelatina Mok Yi Kei's sawdust pudding. Located right at the corner towards the end of the lane, this dessert shop is famous for these desserts: (i) Imported Musang King durian ice cream and (ii) serradura / sawdust pudding. Serradura / Sawdust Pudding is one of the best snacks of both Portugal and Macau with cookie crumbs layered on top and sweetened, vanilla whipped cream and best eaten with a spoon.

Description: Tucked away in one of Macau’s lively pedestrian back alleys, situated close to Senado Square, Margaret’s Cafe is well known for their great Portuguese egg tarts. Compared to Lord Stow’s egg tart, Margaret’s egg tart has more flaky crust and buttery content. The egg custard filling is equally generous, soft and creamy with their caramelize top although we will say Lord Stow's one tasted richer. This famous egg-custard stuffed pastry with bitter caramel flavor really captivates everyone’s soul. The café also offers various other types of pastries and sandwiches aside from Portuguese egg tarts.
