The old-time shop is famous for desserts and drinks made with milk from their own farm. Located right alongside the main historical square of Largo do Senado in Macau, it was perfect for a sightseeing pit-stop away from the stifling heat.
The interior was no different than your typical Hong Kong/Macau street-side restaurant with cheap chairs and cheap tables. Except the place was packed with tourists both coming and going, hustled along by the loud boss guarding the door. Not exactly Michelin-star service, here. The SO was desperate for an icy drink and the 西米霧 would do. Love the big icy mug engraved with their big cow logo. However the mini-tapioca was a bit too stiff and the ice-milk ratio was tilted the wrong way.
雙皮燉奶 is really their signature dessert, though, and that did not disappoint. A delicately congealed pudding made by slowly cooking milk, egg white, and sugar until it solidifies. An intense but pure milk taste with every spoonful. May be even better warm, but I was too hot and stuck to the cold version. Either way, definitely not for the lactose intolerant.
Yeah, I'm sure there is some cheaper and maybe even better hole-in-the-wall place in the back alleys somewhere. But it is famous for a reason, and it offers a fun taste of Macau without forcing you to go out of your way.
