Many Macanese dishes resulted from the spice blends that the wives of Portuguese sailors used in an attempt to replicate European dishes with local Chinese ingredients and seasonings. | ''Minchi'', [[egg tart]]s, pork chop buns, ginger milk and almond cakes are some of the region's most common delicacies.

''[[Cha Gordo]]'' (literally "Fat Tea") is a culinary tradition amongst the [[Macanese people|Macanese]] community in [[Macau]] that is likened to [[afternoon tea]]. Historically, families with Portuguese heritage in Macau would host a ''Cha Gordo'' for a number of occasions, including [[Catholic Church|Catholic]] holidays, [[Infant baptism|christening]], or birthdays, but they can be held for any reason.
