Pork chop bun is another popular snack of the city. It is heartier than the egg tart or almond cookies. Yet just as significant and identified with Macanese cuisine as its colleagues. It is the ideal treat for anyone who loves pork. The perfectly seasoned crisp chop is sandwiched between two warm, buttery and crisp buns. It is simple yet flavorful. Indeed, you do not need to add anything else to it. You might even consider it as Macau’s take on the hamburger.
A pork chop bun is the ideal snack following a long day of sightseeing. Your snack becomes even more enjoyable with milk tea to wash it all down. It is one of the best ways to enjoy this Macanese specialty. |
