I first heard the Macanese cuisine from one of my gourmand friends, Tiffany.
Macanese cuisine, a unique mesh of flavours derived from Macau (Cantonese) and Portuguese influences, and this Fat Tea Macanese Food place is one of the first Asian fusion cuisine spanning the heritage from Portugal, Canton, Melaka, Africa.
This is indeed a special cuisine.
Prawn Rissois, RM19
Portuguese Chicken "Po Kok Khai", RM28
I got to try the Serradura, sawdust pudding, in the next visit.
"The smooth cold custard battles for attention with fine sawdust (crushed tea biscuits), while a fluffy sponge lies beneath to offer some balance between the two."
This review triggered my taste buds.

Prawn Rissois, RM19
Fried pastry crumbled rissoles (small croquette rolled in breadcrumbs, deep fried) with parsley, onion and prawn filling, and creamy Béchamel (French sauce - one of the so-called 5 Mother Sauces - made from butter, milk, flour).
5 Mother Sauces (in France)
French cuisine is all about sauce. I'm not very familiar with French cuisine, so I spent sometimes reading about it. Probably one day I got to learn about it.

| Fat Tea Macanese Food, Duck Rice |
Duck Rice, RM28
Fragrant rice is cooked with pulled duck and finished with a layer of crusty cheese and duck bacon bits. It's a hefty dish so perhaps order to share if you're not accustomed to having too much rice at lunchtime.

Fried Lacassa, RM19
Maco style stir-fried vermicelli rice noodle with pickled ginger, prawn and char siew.
Hmm, not so much to my liking.
