''Minchi'', [[egg tart]]s, pork chop buns, ginger milk and almond cakes are some of the region's most common delicacies. Common cooking methods make use of various spices such as [[turmeric]], [[coconut milk]], and [[cinnamon]] to give dishes an extra kick of aroma and enhancement of taste. Many routinely consumed dishes in Macau belong to a subclass ([[Heungshan]]) of Cantonese cuisine. 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.

''[[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. Historically, some families would even host one on a weekly basis. A ''Cha Gordo'' would take place following a Macanese [[wedding]], instead of the elaborate [[banquet]] seen in Chinese weddings.
