Since i'm portuguese i'm going to give a bit of context to stuff in this video. I won't focus on everything neither on typos they are natural, portuguese is a difficult language. 2:10 - cobalt stone streets - they are everywhere in Portugal, most sidewalks here have that style of pavement, although not always forming preety designs, usually they are plain white or white and black forming very simple designs. the capital Lisbon tends to have prettier versions with complex designs in tourist areas and main avenues. The lamp posts are classic and i can remember them from a few years ago but nowadays they are very rare here. 3:15 - "Rua da felicidade" (happiness street) and "beco da felicidade" (happiness alley) seems fitting for a red light district area ;) kinky. i recognize some other names on street stones like "travessa do aterro novo" meaning new landfill cross street... Don't know about japan or america but here we do tend to give pratical names for streets like destinations said street leads to. then we have famous people named streets being also usual. 3:54 "Mercearia" - a mini market store usually with fresh produce and typical everyday convenience store items. 5:48 That pork chop bun seems to have some portuguese influences too but i might obviously be wrong... here it's called "bifana" usually a pork chop made in a butter, wine and garlic sauce, sometimes served with mustard or with hot sauce "piri piri" . 8:17 egg tarts - In portuguese "pasteis de nata" are a flaky puff pastry pies with a milk and egg based filling as you describe, they have a burnt top because they are baked at 480ºF / 250ºC - a bit hot for delicate tarts like these, the aim is to get the top with dark spots but not burnt. Served with powdered sugar and or cinnamon they are heavenly. Note: it's not that eggy and its firm because of the reduced milk and low quantity of yolks (and there are no egg whites in the recipe) they might taste more lemony and cinnamony depending on the milk reduction mixture used. 10:05 - "escada" means stairs 10:23 let's us see why it has this name :P 10:24 beer - it's a "super bock"(brown bottle) a portuguese brand beer in macau... nice , same for "Pedras" (green bottle) a portuguese brand of sparkling water. 10:49 appetizers: "Sardinha"/sardine - we do like sardines and codfish a lot. "chamuça"/ samosa it's probably part of the Portuguese discoveries meant we got a lot imported from their culture. "Croquete" / croquette - yes we like them more meaty. Codfish cake / "pastel de bacalhau" - it's a croquette but with codfish and we add parsley to the mashed potato and codfish mixture Portuguese ham / "presunto" is salt cured ham, chewy, salty usually served thinly sliced. very very different from regular ham, ham for us is smoked ham we call that kind "fiambre". "Salada de polvo" / octupus salad - garlic, olive oil and vinegar with some parsley and olives. The shrimp pie would be called "rissol de camarão" but we don't add it anything that would give it a smoky flavor. should be shrimp and a rich bechamel sauce inside. 12:51 - Suckling pig / "leitão" - roasted piglet - since it's a juvenile pig it has lots of collagen so it's very tender and sometimes somewhat gelatinous in texture. 16:00 Serradura - it's a very simple dessert - whipped cream + condensed milk + simple vanilla biscuit called "bolacha maria" or Marie biscuit.

[@purrfekt]

Thanks for the write-up; very informative!

[@HyTricksyy]

I know exactly what the Serradura dessert is, but we've always called it "Doce da Casa". Or maybe that's a regional variant? :D

[@cosporcos]

@@HyTricksyy restaurants adopt a dessert called "Doce da casa" for a dessert they always have, everyday. Some of them adopt serradura as their doce da casa. More often you'll get a slightly modified serradura recipe as Doce da casa like adding chocolate or coffee or vanilla pudding as one of the layers, you can also have different biscuits, nowadays oreo is a popular modification of serradura being used as Doce da casa

[@anamoreira6882]

Damn couldn't say better myself. The shrimp pie looks like a rissole tho.

[@foodchannel5686]

Thank you very much!

[@erinuber2881]

What a wonderful video! It's so nice to see all of you together again - Shinichi, Satoshi, Laurence, and Jean J., too! Macau is clearly a wonderful place to visit. It is so beautiful, and there are so many interesting foods to try. The noodle stall looked like so much fun. If I could have magically tried the noodles, I would love to try the one with the fish. That looked great. What a nice dinner you had! Everything looked spectacular! It was so nice of Jean J. to come over to join you. Thanks for the wonderful video! I hope you'll all get to go there again one day. :-)

[@Scriptor13]

Wow--this was fun! I've always wanted to visit Macau, and now I've been there digitally with four of my favorite people (whom I've never met--lol). It's always so nice to see Laurence and Jean, both of whom are so very charming and knowledgeable . (I know Jean feels ill at ease on camera, but she is both beautiful and interesting to watch!) Thank you all for another wonderful experience.

[@rinshin]

I can tell Lawrence is really into food by him tasting the soup first before eating noodles. And, appreciate Satoshi describing the taste well.

[@MsKestrela]

It's always a treat when you visit with Lawrence. He looked a little out of sorts in this one...maybe he didn't get to do as much shopping as usual? LOL Jean is also a delightful addition to the group. She has very good insights into the flavors of the foods you shared. A very enjoyable video, guys!

[@ligialaginha]

I'm from Portugal and always see your videos. I'm glad you can taste a kind of portuguese food in Macau. Came to Portugal and eat lots of codfish, seafood, presunto (ham), custard tart (pastel de nata), etc... Cheers Guys!

[@PapaOsmubal.OscarBalajadia]

Ligia, thanks. Check out some more videos on Macau. kzbin.infovideos

[@lisab.7339]

That was just lovely! Laurence & Jean are good friends! Always nice to see them🥰

[@annecorey607]

Very good ride on this big boat very beautiful place very clean friendly place thank you for sharing your beautiful story very good thanks

[@3225Angela]

This video brought me so many memories... Fernando's was the best Portuguese restaurant with the best bread and delicious shrimp with garlic sauce.💗

[@joannegray5138]

Macau looks like a beautiful place to visit.

[@florenceleow7493]

Your video is edited so well! Great work and effort!🙌

[@esther848]

An other very good video😊. Thanks. Macau is very interresting. Old buildings, I love them. Aww the food so good😋. Thanks to Jean and Laurence for guide you both ( and the tabifamily).

[@NUESTwithLOVE]

I've only got to taste free biscuits from Macau from my teacher(and they were good). Now you made me feel like Macau is the first place I should go to in my future destination plan.

[@RionIshida]

Even I haven’t been to Macau, but I feel like I have traveled there😆 Hope I can save money for travel, and try Macau foods😂

[@wildgoosesc5292]

Loved the video I live in Macau and never knew about Lei Gei will for sure have to check it out, thank you!

[@rebeccaalabada1064]

Wow! What a great place! And the food looked so good, too! Great video!

[@cassiecorza5906]

Loved this video def want to go!

[@AirFuelandIgnition]

So good seeing you guys try street food in Macau and HK! Love seeing all the street food in Japan but so awesome seeing you guys trying something different ... and love seeing you guys speaking some Cantonese too! ❤

[@quextico]

Another great travel vid - I just love them! It seems unlikely I'll have the opportunity to visit any of these wonderful places, but at least I can enjoy your trips vicariously. Thank you for sharing your trips with us!

[@thisdamnthingy]

Earlier this year, I found a Macanese restaurant in Melbourne, Australia. I had never tried food from Macau before, nor seen any places around. I knew it was the real deal when the only cutlery around was spoons, forks and chopsticks. I got salty noodles and san choy bau. Both delicious and the serves were incredibly generous. Macau itself looks beautiful. I've had the Hokkaido egg tarts, found them randomly one day and decided to go for it, they're amazing. SInce I've seen a few of your videos now, I decided to subscribe today. If I ever go back to that restaurant, I will watch this again and take notes.

[@lindasimoes6583]

Welcome to Macau, glad you had enjoyed it😍😍

[@tinamariefarmer4419]

senado square is sooo stunning! i love the building's architecture

[@simplyme3306]

Oh my god it has been soooo many years since I've been there. This video makes me wanna plan a trip soon!

[@sonsiehollingsworth5342]

Loved this one fellas !!❤❤

[@wbb01]

Wow, Jean J is getting to be a Pro in front of the camera. I would love to go to Macau after watching your video.

[@susansprouse1023]

Satoshi is so cute when he likes something.

[@happycook6737]

You were so brave. I despise boat trips because they can be rough. I hate planes too. And once you are onboard you can't change your mind.

[@kamikazitsunami]

I just subbed because the guy with the glasses cracks me up. He reminds me of my Japanese family.

[@slayer-jp2mi]

Need to travel in Macau...as soon as possible...maybe nextmonth.... Thank you Guys for the Amazing Video.... Two Thumbs Up!!!

[@JohnandMalie]

Great video, thank you for showing us Macau from your point of views. Very informative and you captured the architecture beautifully. You definitely need to go to Macau again and stay overnight at one of the hotels! You should now be able to travel to Macau via the new Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge via bus as well. p.s. that Serradura Dessert looked delicious! We have to try that next time.

[@titanehan8591]

Thank you for this nice visit in Hong Kong ! So satisfying !

[@themiccrazy]

Very beautiful city. Food looks amazing!

[@ladymurasaki370]

Thanks for sharing, good food and great friends! ❤ ❤❤

[@UrbanHomesteadMomma]

Wow great place... I’ll add that to my list of places I wish I could see

[@susanleblanc7989]

Excellent video tour! We all know about the Portuguese influence but I didn't expect it to be so evident. Wonderful. Thank you Lawrence and Jean! Satoshi, when you were eating the beef short ribs, it looked like you had died and gone to heaven. Very cute. No beer? Can't wait for the next tour.

[@ms.selfreliant4834]

you made me hungry guys, with all those yummiliciuos delicacies macau offers. what an oral delight! see you soon macau!

Hello!! Thanks for the videos!!

[@chefprosvergaabucayan]

This video is very helpful for foodies like me as I am starting to document my food trip journey in Macau. 😍

[@ivabraga2034]

I love this tabieats video. Macau is quite charming! The street pavement with "azulejo" draws- waves is quite exacly as in Oporto and Lisbon!! Beautiful architecture. Oh, I love a good custard tarte too ; ) Kind regards from Portugal to: Shinichi ♡ Satochi♡ Lawrence♡ .

[@larryhernandez2594]

Very cool video guys!

[@jamescatlover123]

I went there back in 2013. Ah the nostalgia.

[@lchen2522]

I love this HK/Macau trip, I think I have enough Cantonese left in me to navigate everything if I were to go.

[@obarobin2788]

Yummy Egg Pudding!! Love what you 2 are doing! Keep up the good work!

[@feslenraster]

5:00 was the store owner lady sweeping up the motorcycle's dust? hah!!! Aww how nice of Jean to travel to join you guys :) I'd do the same if I could.

[@debracantrell1058]

Thanks for sharing this video 😍😘🥰

[@MogglePictures]

Cool Episode. I war in Macau too but it was long long ago. My uncle and cousin only wanted go to the Casino and it was sooo boring for me. Maybe next time i will go to Macau and explore it too thx for sharing you guys. Keep it up hug.

[@audrey.c1]

if you ever find yourself on a boat again or going on a cruise they have the patches that go behind your ear. it works wonders! totally got rid of my queasy feeling in an hour or so. You would usually apply it before going on the ship or before it starts moving and it should last 2-3 days =]

[@abefrohman1759]

You guys always find tasty goodies. 😋😎

[@TheNightOwl258]

Wow looks like a beautiful place to visit 🦉💜

[@kurlexchoi]

They have terminal bus from Hong Kong to Macau and is more better only took 30 minutes and don't have to worry about sea motion sickness. Don't know if established during the time when they were there since it was in May, but I went there in Nov during the same year.

[@lovelysuharti8010]

Wooo. Yummmy food all make me Hungary dear friend Enjoy with your yummmy food 😋😋😍😍😍

[@nuraimanhakim6191]

I went to macau on 2009. I love the food

[@amandamiller304]

thank you for shareing this video , its very intresting to see macau , by the way aerican stews oftern have peanuts in them which is also an ingredient for satay

[@jingfengzhang378]

Instant noodle can be ate to delicious cuisine by you guys 😂! Awesome!

[@vaniacarvalho4225]

Ahah Serradura is my sister's favorite dessert. I'm going to Japan next monday, just can't wait XD

[@ErinLiu1015]

I love Hong Kong style milk tea too! I am like you, i can drink it all day long!! (very high in caffeine though) 😊 Great video!

[@ashtonpaugh1189]

I'm not good with motion sickness or boats either. You're a champion.

[@ericazeh9760]

The boat ride isn't too long! And I just slept the whole way there and back!

[@lisamarie2987]

Loved seeing all the Portuguese influence. Reminds me of when I visit my family in Portugal.

[@lunarebeccaada4191]

Macau,what a sight to see😍! I enjoyed the ancient houses a lot. I liked all the food you ate, the suckling pig was making me really hungry 😂,love this meat. As you mentioned,african and asian cuisine are often alike,whereby I can't say,which one has the more peppery food. I was married to a Ghanian and their food is really hot and spicy. I like it less spicy though. Just can't wait for the next video,have a good time and greetings to the group 😊.

[@georgiaman1926]

Egg tart with a cup of coffee would be nice right now!

[@Janine.Najarian]

It's such a fascinating place D:

[@sandyschaffer3344]

Ps.... I made curry chicken tonight for dinner. LMAO. IT'S curry from a jar but at least I tried. My husband loved it..and Nan bread. Turned at really good.

[@lisakrollfeifer6143]

AH MY FIT AND FABULOUS THREE. SO GREAT TO SEE YOU AGAIN. SINICHI WE ARE SO MUCH ALIKE IN THAT WE GO INTO FULL PANIC MODE. WE DO 20 MILLION THINGS TO TRY AND READY OURSELVES AND THEN THE EVENT TAKES PLACE AND NOTHING HAPPENS. UNTIL NEXT TIME. MISSING YOU GUY'S TREMENDOUSLY. 🤗🤗🤗🤗😅😅

[@hollyhasegawa6095]

OMG! so amazing, it was so good to see Laurence and Jean, the food looked amazing and very tasty. I love your videos that involve food tasting these are the best. I can live vicariously through all of these videos, maybe one day I will get to experience it first hand, but if not Shinichi and Satoshi you make me feel like I'm there, and I thank you for this experience it is awesome. Thanks so much, bye for now.

If you go again guys you have to go to fernandos on hac sa beach on the island of coloane nearby. Amazing bread and portuguese food and right on the beach!

8:18 we also have this egg tarts here in Portugal. Here they are called "Pasteis de nata " 😊

[@timotot123]

Macau looks beautiful!! It's a shame that here in Australia Macau is promoted pretty much only for it's Casino, when obviously it has so much more to offer 👍👍👍

[@AmelieZh]

Tim O'donnell they are known for casino though

[@timotot123]

@@AmelieZh Yes that's right, but it's unfortunate that it's only promotion seems to be the casino

Hey Shinichi & Satochi......I just love you guys. I'm so glad you didn't get sick. Hey Laurence...nice to see you. Thanks for all you do. Love from Bethlehem Pa. As always give Justin a kiss for me.

[@GFINHK]

The serradura dessert is known as 'saw-dust pudding' in Chinese. lol. And it's goooood! :)

[@PREPFORIT]

A truly Fantastic meal ,

[@ErnestoTani]

Macau ou Formosa when we call here. Was a portuguese colony. They don't speak portuguese like old times. But they're use portuguese in street names and dishes. One correction. Do you typed "RUA DE FELICIDADE" But the Right way's "BECO DA FELICIDADE" Because it's a alley. Not a Street. Street in portuguese is RUA. BECO is alley. Don't worry. Portuguese is complicated even for us in Brasil. aahahahahaha Cheers Guys!

[@phengov943]

Macau looks so different to Hong Kong, more Portuguese influence there. Still has Cantonese food there as well :)

[@terrytay1774]

Macau people are Cantonese. Difference is colonization - British in HK, Portuguese in Macao.

[@yoshinaka03]

the luncheon meat looks good along with the noodle dish... : D

[@suebowman7258]

This video is making me hungry again (just ate 10 minutes ago). I wonder whetger egg tarts at Macao is the same as Portuguese egg tart in Lisbon.

[@willsonize2278]

Great video thanks guys Macau looks really nice but things seem a bit expensive starting with the ferry and all the food looks delicious but a bit on the expensive side 🤷‍♂️ oh and I love Portuguese tarts I could eat about 10 of them 😋🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇬🇧

Egg tart yummy i like 😀

[@btaleonard02]

I was there in 2014. I miss the food and the place.

[@kingneo195]

Thanks for the video, question: the places you visited, do they take credit cards(master/visa) ? or cash only ? BTW, where do you get Macau currency ? I will be visiting from HK, shall I exchange Macau currency first or use HK dollars instead ?

[@florenceford8201]

I really really enjoyed your video especially when you folks went to eat Portuguese food it brought back so much memories of when I was a little girl and my grandfather used to cook for us it was nice to see g en and always nice to see Lawrence what a sweet person okay take care till our next adventure 🤗 bye
