Macau
" Food: Culture in a bowl "
When we think of Macau cuisine, we automatically think of egg tarts and almond cookies. Yet, Macau is so much more. Ever wondered that when you step into the city center, you would automatically see Spanish language like Senado or Banco? Macau became a colony of the Portugeuse empire in 1557, much like the eyes are windows to a person's soul; food are windows to a country's history and culture.
Portugeuse Sauce
Molho português (Portuguese pronunciation: [ˈmoʎu puɾtuˈɣeʃ], Portuguese sauce) in Macanese cuisine, refers to a sauce made of curry powder andcoconut milk, that is milder and richer than the usual curry. (Credits: Wikipedia)
A must try when you visit Macau is the famous Macanese curry sauce. Nothing beats fish balls, fishcakes, lobster and all other bizarre food like pig's liver, cabbage, cheese infused balls you wouldn't think goes with CURRY. I know it sounds weird, but the taste is incomparable.
In a steaming pot of spiced infused water, the produce gets cooked to perfection. After that, for just $40 that you can't finish on your own; you get a bowl of fishballs, squid, and all things you picked out combined with that fresh macanese curry sauce. This combination is like fireworks of flavor, and it simply indulges you how the local's eat.
Travelling is more than just site seeing. The best part of it all, is experiencing the culture. What better way than a taste of what is distinct about the country.
So next time you visit Macau, try one of the local cuisine which is the fish balls and etc with macanese curry
Oh and one more thing... don't be shy to simply
Experience
