What is the food culture in Macau?

Macao, a typical city where eastern and western cultures blend, has been baptized by western civilization in the past 400 years, but this does not mean that China's traditional culture has lost its influence on Macao, and its geographical proximity to Guangzhou has enabled it to maintain long-term cultural ties with the motherland after being colonized. Perhaps it is because of the double baptism of eastern and western cultures that Macao's food culture is very colorful.

First, the general situation of Macao diet

Macao's food culture has developed very well, which can be said to be a paradise for food. Because it is very close to Guangdong Province, it has many similarities with Cantonese in eating habits and living habits. For example, Guangzhou people like to drink morning tea, and Macao people also like to drink morning tea. Of course, Macao has also integrated many western eating habits and local eating habits, forming a unique diet in Macao.

2. Macao has gathered delicious food from all over the world.

Some people describe Macao people like this, saying that "Macao people are not afraid to entertain guests." With its unique geographical location and historical background, Macao has gathered cuisines from all over the country, including those from Portugal, Japan, South Korea, India, Brazil, Italy, France and Malaysia. Chinese restaurants are not inferior. There are countless old Cantonese restaurants and Sichuan restaurants in China, as well as other local cuisines. They came to Macao and soon took root in Macao. After so many years of development, many old restaurants have not lost their original flavor, but have maintained traditional cooking methods and techniques, which makes people sigh. It is precisely because of the prosperity of food culture that Macao people will have the confidence not to be afraid to treat guests, and they will not worry that the taste of food will not meet the requirements of guests. No matter where you come from, there is always one that will suit you.

Third, Macao's herbal tea culture.

People in Guangzhou can't live without herbal tea, and so can Macao, which is only a strip of water. Macao's herbal tea culture plays an important role in Macao's food culture and daily life. In the past, herbal tea was mostly sold in the streets and lanes of Macao in the form of vendors or in some Chinese medicine shops.

People buy medicine bags directly and go home to make herbal tea for themselves. Most Macao people think that herbal tea has good medicinal value, and they will choose to drink herbal tea for some minor headaches and fever. When the summer heat is too heavy, you will also drink herbal tea or eat too much fried food. Herbal tea is also the first choice. Herbal tea seems to be a panacea for Macao people's life. It seems that nothing can be solved without a bowl of herbal tea.
