Discover the Traditional Bread from Macao, Macao Special Administrative Region
About the city of Macao
Macao, located on the Pearl River Delta, has a population of 650,000. Originally colonized by the Portuguese in the 16th century, it became a major trading hub that melded Eastern and Western cultures. This cultural fusion is prominently reflected in Macanese cuisine, which has been recognized as an Intangible Heritage. After reclaiming sovereignty from Portugal in 1999, Macao became a Special Administrative Region of China. Gastronomy plays a significant role in the local economy, employing 6.6% of the workforce. The city hosts important events like the Macao Food Festival, attracting both local and international chefs. To promote socio-economic development, the government has adopted strategies to enhance local food culture and foster entrepreneurship, particularly among young people, through various support programs and initiatives.
