Hailing from Italy, pizza has become a global culinary phenomenon. The traditional preparation features a fermented round dough base topped with zesty tomato sauce, creamy cheese, and an array of ingredients, all baked to perfection in a wood-fired oven. Notable varieties include the authentic Neapolitan pizza from Naples and the vibrant Margherita pizza, celebrated for its simple yet iconic combination of tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil.

A signature pastry in Macanese cuisine, the Portuguese egg tart is a small, creamy custard tart with a flaky puff pastry crust. Its distinct caramelized brown top adds a rich, slightly bitter contrast to the smooth filling. Introduced to Macau by the British, the recipe was adapted with a reduced-sugar English-style custard, quickly gaining fame and becoming a must-try local delicacy.
