The first time we slipped into a wooden booth at this old school cha chaan teng coffee shop we almost cried–this place is like Hong Kong 50 years ago. Then we sank our teeth into their signature beignet like donut, the sa yong, and we were hooked for life. Try the egg sandwich with char siu bbq pork too!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Before dim sum moved out of Guangzhou and Hong Kong to rock the Chinese culinary world, tea houses were about, well, tea. That’s the way it still is here at the marvelous Long Va teahouse. You don’t come here for the food, you come for the sublime experience of sipping a nice cup of sow mei or tid gwoon yam (Iron Goddess oolong) surrounded by paintings, drawings, antiquities and gorgeous light streaming through the balcony windows. Bring your notebook or sketchbook and be inspired by \u00a0one of the last great old places in town.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Macau’s small community of Burmese immigrants punches above its weight on the culinary scene \u00a0you’ll find a few Burmese food stalls clustered in the streets of the Three Lamps District in northern Macau \u00a0This one is our favorite, thanks to a rich, coconut curry broth super slurpable chicken noodle soup. Tip: don’t wear your best white shirt here!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n This branch of a well known Portuguese chain of artisanal canned fish shops is an absolute delight. We walked in to browse and came out with no fewer than 13 cans of mackerel, sardines, octopus and pates of tuna. This is practically a museum or library of fish, with knowledgeable staff and lots of information about the artisanal and regional Portuguese producers. We felt like we were taking a bit of Portuguese Macau home with us in a can.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n In Portuguese the word “Riquexo” means “rickshaw”, a nod to the mixed cultural origins of this quintessential Macau eatery. (The name in Chinese, btw, is the much more \u00a0propitious sounding\u00a0\u5229\u591a–and that’s how your taxi driver will know it.) The menu, hearty Macanese staples like oxtail stew, comes out of steam tables, and changes daily. We fell in love with the crusty, perfect Portuguese bread and with the fact that this is the only place in Macau we have ever heard Portuguese being spoken at every single table .<\/p>\n Want more help?
