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.

Portuguese Egg Tarts
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.
