Subtitles section Play video Print subtitles Well good afternoon from Macau (澳門 - 澳门). 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 we kind of have a list of things we want to try here in Macau (澳門 - 澳门). Yes. And this was not on here. Wasn't on the list but we still found it interesting. So what is this one? So this is an egg pudding but I got the chocolate egg pudding. Yeah, they also had green tea right? Yeah. Um, so yeah it is like an egg. They sliced off the top. I don't even know how you make this to be honest. Do you shape the egg until it is creamy? I have no idea. We have no idea what this is and that is what makes it so exciting. Mmmm. Well it does not taste like boiled eggs so that is excellent. It is really creamy. Look at that. Is it sweet? Like how yeah. Yeah, it is literally like pudding. Okay. Maybe it is just like pudding that has been put inside of the eggshell. Maybe that is just the preparation of it. Look. Oh wow. This is a mystery to me. No idea how it is made but it is so delicious. Wow. And Sam doesn't like eggs so he was like no I won't have one. So are you going to eat it all then? You're missing out. Seriously this is like chocolate pudding. It is so creamy, so smooth. Unbelievable. And how much was it? Mmm. We paid what was it? 13 MOP ($1.60 USD). 13 MOP for the chocolate one and eleven for the cream one. 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). Yeah. It is basically. Oh wow. Thank you. Here comes our tea too. It is basically considered a Macanese specialty. Uh huh. And it is almost considered like a Macanese hamburger. Macau's take on a hamburger. So you've got your pork chop (豬扒包) in the middle. Yeah. And then you have a crispy bun. Well it is crispy on the outside and it is supposed to be soft on the inside. So I am dripping sauce all over the place. Time for me to just take a bite. Bites right into the bone! It smells so good. We ordered one to share because we were planning on sampling a lot of street food but just smelling that over here I'm like mmmm. I could have my own. That is really good. Yeah? It is a nice cut of meat. A little bit fatty but juicy and the thing I really like about it is the bun. So this is getting a little messy. There is a reason why they gave us this paper bag. I'm excited to pull out the bun. The oil. Now we've got grease all over the table. Um let me just dig right in. Yeah and guys be careful there is a bone on one of the sides. Yeah. I almost sunk my teeth into it and I came here to eat food not to visit the dentist. So haha. That is so good. Oh my gosh. You like that? Look at all of those colors. And the bread is so juicy. Yeah. The bread to me, I mean the meat is obviously really good but it is the bread that really makes this. Mmmm. Do you like that? And to go along with the pork chop bun (豬扒包) we got a milk tea (港式奶茶). I thought this was bubble tea and it looks like bubble tea at first but it doesn't have the pearls at the bottom. It is just a nice like milky tea. It does look pretty milky. It has that milky looking consistency. Mmmm. Nice and sweet and so refreshing because it is really warm out. Feeling satisfied? Yeah, it was a nice tasty little snack. And it was also cheap too. It only came to 27 MOP ($3.35 USD). Yeah, we're still going to be eating a lot more today don't worry. Well the food adventures continue. And just look at that color. It is so yellow and uh it just looks amazing. 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. There is a really famous shop um in Belem. And yeah these are really tasty. I've had these often. I know. So let's dig in. So excited to be having them again. Mmmm. And the Macanese take on it is really good. Mmmm. Really good. Look at that. It is like so custard-y inside. Wow. And we got these from what is considered to be a famous place for them. It is called Lord Stow's. Yeah. Yeah. It is not from the original shop but it is from one of the branches and ah yeah we're just really lucky to bump in to it. It is so flakey. Haha. The exterior. Look at that. Can you see the layers these. It is like Millefeuille. I know. It is so cheap too. Like what are these 9 MOP ($1.10 USD) or something? We paid 9 each. My gosh. I could just eat these all day. All day long. My turn. Your turn. Oh, I can't wait to try this. Mmmm. You can hear the flakiness when you bite into it. Mmmm. Oh my gosh. That is so good. So flaky on the outside and so creamy and it has like a pudding like texture on the inside. This is so good. And these um because you can also get egg tarts in Hong Kong (香港). Yeah. These are more traditional. They're more Portuguese influenced whereas the ones in Hong Kong (香港) are definitely a bit different. They are more like tarts. Yeah, they are less flakey. You don't have this kind of layer on the top. They just look more yellow on the outside and they're also a little more sugary whereas I would describe these ones in Macau (澳門 - 澳门) as being more creamy and the pastry part of it being more flakey and buttery. They are so good thought like I said I could just be popping these in my mouth all day long. 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. So I'm going to try it. I did sample this one. It is sweet. Is it beef or pork? That is the question. It is pork. Pork. Pork jerky (豬肉乾). Mmmm. That is really nice. It has got like a sweet glaze on it. It kind of reminds me of um if you've ever had a cooked ham that has been cooked in like molasses or maple syrup or something like that. Very Canadian. Maple Syrup. Uh huh. It kind of has that glaze type of sweetness on the outside and it is nice meat. It is not unlike other jerkys that I've had before it is not as chewy. Um, it basically you just bite in to it and the meat basically disintegrates in your mouth so it is nice. We've got a lot. Look at that. Man. We're going to be here for a while. So it is now my turn to try it and this is actually the cheapest kind we saw at the shop but you can get it with different glazes. There was one that had black pepper all over it. So let's see. Mmmm. Do you like that? You're right. It is like a sweet ham. It is like a maple ham. Haha. Like an alternative Thanksgiving meal. It is really good and when you think we have a lot more pieces left. Mmhhmmm. So for 45 MOP ($5.60 USD) it is pretty good value. Check out how much we still have left. Hopefully we can bring these on the boat. Yeah, I snuck in a couple other pieces while we were waiting in between filming so. We still have a lot left. Alright Mr. Coco Legend what did you find? So I have no idea if this is traditional Macanese snack but we saw this sign that said they made handmade coconut ice cream. Traditionally made so yeah. Can't turn that down can we? Can't turn that down. Oh la lah. And the best part about this and I haven't even tried it yet. Check out this spoon. The spoon looks like a shovel. So yeah, I can shovel it in. It is like shoveling snow that is why you like it you Canuck. It kind of does look like snow. Hahaha. Look at that. Is it like a sorbet? I don't know. Let's try it. I wonder if it is more watery or more creamy. Mmmm. You really taste the coconut. Yeah. But it is just not milky. It is like a sorbet would you say? Yeah, like a gelato. Yeah it is a bit more like a sorbet. Um, it is really good. You sound so disappointed that it is not creamy. You know what I'm not disappointed. It actually has a really strong coconut flavor and you can tell that it is natural coconut too. So it is actually really good. I find it more refreshing than it is thick. Mmmhmmm. Like a normal ice cream is kind of thick and heavy but this is just refreshing and kind of light with a nice coconut taste. Not too sugary either too. Just a little bit of sugar added. Good stuff. Mmmm. Oh man. What do you think? Woah. What do you think? That is good. That is good. It tastes very homemade. It tastes very natural. It is really natural that is what I like about it. Yeah, it doesn't taste like there is any artificial ingredients. Traditionally made they say and I can see why. $25 MOP ($3.10 USD). You know what? There is some pieces of shredded coconut in there. I know. I'm like chewing on them. Yeah. It has the real deal. It is real coconut. Mmmm. Gotta like that. So we're still trying to eat our way around the city here and it is starting to rain. Today was supposed to be zero percent chance of precipitation and look at what is happening. With all of these clouds I'm actually surprised it didn't rain earlier. 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. We did get a bubble tea (波霸奶茶) actually. Hahaha. That is next. But yeah it is really nice. Really tasty. Kind of a nice Christmas treat. Almond for some reason it seems like a Christmas-y ingredient. My turn to try one. I ate the whole thing. Man, that is going be like really dry in your mouth. Let's give Sam a few moments to chew. That was a bit of a mistake. Little bites with almond cakes (杏仁餅). Come on. Baby bites. They actually had mini almond cakes (杏仁餅). We probably should have gotten those. They are like mini bite sizes. Because I can't control myself right? No. But yeah they're really good. Like you say they are powdery. Dry. You can really taste the almonds. And it is sweet but not overpowering. So yeah. It makes a nice kind of a nice dessert. But yeah it would go so well with tea. Yeah. And again we got a big box so we're going to try and take this back to Hong Kong (香港). So that was $34 MOP ($4.25 USD) and we're going to have a lot of snacks to eat when we get back to Hong Kong (香港). Yeah. Hopefully immigration doesn't mind. Haha. Yeah. Alright so Sam is now rocking a purple drink in his hand. Yeah. What could that possibly be? So we've had bubble tea (波霸奶茶) in both Taiwan (中華民國) and in Hong Kong (香港). Yeah, but we haven't had it in Macao (澳門 - 澳门) and we haven't had Taro before. So this is a purple color. And you can see it still has the tapioca jellies at the bottom. Yeah but time to try it. Alright, so taro milk. Mmmm. What does taro milk taste like? It is really sweet. It has a bit of a creamy taste and you can definitely can taste the taro. It is strong. Does it taste like potato. Like potato milk. A little bit. It still tastes a bit like tea though too. It is really good. Your turn to try this one for the first time. Alright, I think this may be our last Macanese street snack for today. I would hope so it probably like the 8th or 7th thing we've tried. Okay guys. We've been eating all day long and that has allowed us to walk as much as we have. Mmmm. Isn't that good? It tastes like cereal milk. Hahaha. That is a good way of describing it actually. Yeah. You know the milk that is left at the bottom of your bowl and it has been soaking in all the sugar and the marshmallows. When you've had Fruit Loops or something like that. Yeah. Or Honey Nut Cheerios. Or Lucky Charms. Lucky Charms. Wow. We sure eat our healthy cereals don't we? Mmmmm. It is interesting. I think I still prefer my classic bubble tea. Um, it isn't bad though. Regular milk. Yeah. It was only 20 MOP ($2.50 USD). It was only 20 for that. So not bad. Not bad at all. All yours. 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. It smell like that toilet bowl smell. Toilet bowl? But you know what? I love durian. Absolutely love it. I've even had it on a pizza in Thailand so I know I'm going to like this. Let's go in for a bite. Before it melts. Mmm. That durian is so good. Mmmm. Is that actually fruit that looks like cheesecake? No that is the real deal. Mmmm. It is really good. I mean if you like durian you're going to really like this. If you don't like it you're going to absolutely despise this. And it is dripping everywhere. Dripping everywhere. It is rainy. Oh my gosh. And it is raining. The ice cream is melting. Alright before you devour the whole thing how much did it cost? How much was this one? This one was $30 MOP ($3.75 USD). 30. Alright. Want some? Yeah. 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.
