×Almond Cookies
Why you must eat itA round dry cake pressed hard from mung-bean flour and almond; it crumbles at once and leaves a fine dust on the tongue. The sweetness is restrained, the nutty scent lingering. Shopfronts show the moulding or a charcoal roast and hand out a freshly cut piece to taste. Similar shops line the S. Domingos lanes, the smell of pork jerky and peanut candy in the air. Compare before choosing a box. It travels in the hand, and many nibble as they walk.
Almond cookies are a signature Macau souvenir, and old houses cluster here. The base is largely mung-bean flour, usually scented with almond. Many shops let you taste freely, and flavour differs by maker. Prices and shelf life are a guide, so check the date and weight before buying.
