It is lunchtime over here so we're going to be sampling some Macanese street food. Yeah, we're just basically going to wander around and try as many tasty bites as we possibly can. So it took us a while to find a place that was serving pork chops this early. But we finally found one. Yeah, some of them weren't going to start serving them until 2pm. Until 2 pm. And it is around noon right now so oh bummer but we finally found somewhere and this pork chop bun (豬扒包) is one of the most popular street foods you can find in Macau (澳門 - 澳门). Next up we're having Pastel de Nata (蛋撻 - 蛋挞) and this is where you start to see the Portuguese influence in Macanese cuisine. This is something that you find everywhere in Portugal. We had these when we were in Lisbon. We have St. Paul's Ruins (大三巴牌坊) off in the background and Sam ready to sample more food. Yeah, so something you're going to find in Macau (澳門 - 澳门) well just about everywhere. Especially around the Saint Paul's Ruins (大三巴牌坊) is you get this beef jerky (豬肉乾) that is for sale. Yeah. And you buy these big slabs and they cut it up for you like there is just a huge amount here. Anyways we found our next snack and we're having almond cakes (杏仁餅). So check those out. It looks really powdery and it actually has chunks of almond in it. Wow. And we saw these being freshly made. So it is pretty amazing. That is how we decided on the store. We're like oh they're making them right outside so. How are those? Good. It is quite dry. It is almost like a chalky like powdery texture so if you're planning on having a few you probably want tea or like some kind of beverage nearby. A bubble tea (波霸奶茶). Have a bubble tea nearby. Somebody couldn't resist. What have you been searching for all day? I've been looking also for durian ice cream (榴莲冰淇淋). Because we've tried coconut ice cream and that was a little tame. Let's go in for some durian and these right here are big chunks of durian and it smells just like durian. So our Macanese food adventures are over. We came, we saw, we ate, we conquered. Like we ate a lot of food. We did. I think we had seven or eight different things. Yeah. None of it cost a lot. We're bringing a lot home. So it is a great way to just kind of snack our way around Macao (澳門 - 澳门). All day long. All day long. And the fact we didn't sit down and wait in restaurants meant that we got to do a lot more sightseeing. We got to taste more food. Yeah. So I highly recommend this. If you come here just snack your way around Macau (澳門 - 澳门). You'll save money and you'll get to see a lot more.
