We happened to randomly come across this amazing food joint which recently opened in March 2017. Owner & chef (Pedro), a native Portuguese who lived in Macau for many years, did a commendable job bringing the authentic night-time "food truck" experience (which are very common in his homeland) to Macau, and gladly we had a taste of his culinary arts!We ordered a special bifana w/ cheese and egg (pork steak in bread, or the ubiquitous dish known to most Macanese and Hongkongers as "ju pa bao" / 豬扒
We ordered a special bifana w/ cheese and egg (pork steak in bread, or the ubiquitous dish known to most Macanese and Hongkongers as "ju pa bao" / 豬扒包), a Prego (the equivalent of bifana but with fried steak), cod fish cake / shrimp cake / croquete, and a bottle of Super Bock (Portuguese pale lager). The food are all prepared as they ordered, and chef would prepare them at the counter so you can see what goes into your hearty meal. Waiting time was short & food are nicely cooked when served.
The bifana / ju pa bao, in particular, is impressive for the fact that it is boneless. Most ju pa bao you would find in Macau are claimed to be authentic but often times they come with the bones on the pork, which in my opinion is not the best way to serve a bifana & definitely not how they prepare it in Portuguese. For those who crave an authentic experience, this place is definitely worth a visit!
