Snacks from Macau and Hong Kong

Here are some snacks I bought from Macau and Hong Kong. I had tasted it my own and some i had share with my family and team members.

First, are the cookies from Kee Wah Bakery (available in both Macau and Hong Kong).
I had purchase 2 types of cookies from this bakery shop that is available at Venetian Hotel.
The first cookies that i picked was the Chocolate Almond Cookies.
After some 'sight seeing' in the bakery shop, Jaime suggest that i buy the Panda Butter Cookies as well.



Panda + Chocolate Almond Cookies

The Chocolate Almond Cookies is very fresh!! Although the chocolate taste is not very strong but the cookies ' aroma lasted even after you swallow it. There is a lot of almond in each cookies which added more flavours to it.

The Panda Butter Cookies is fresh too. The butter smell is quite strong and is not very sweet. The cookie is very cute as it really looks like a PANDA! Suitable for kids!

Next, some famous candies from Macau, Peanut candies. There are a lot of shops or bakeries selling peanut candies along the Macau Street. However, I saw most of the tourists purchase their goods from a shop call Kok Kei Bakery.

So, we walked along the street and found it!.. It was actually situated towards the end of the street, nearby the tourist attractions, 'Memorial of Jesus'..The spokesperson or advertisement main actor of this bakery shop is a famous food critic in Hong Kong nickname 'Choi San'.

The Chewy Black Sesame Peanut Candies is certainly one of my favourite choice. This candy has lots of black sesame covering the whole peanut candy bar and it is not very sweet. Suitable for those who doesn't like too much 'sugar' in their candies. Unlike the other peanut candies, this Black sesame peanut candies is chewy and not hard.. So u don't have to worry that u will break your tooth by biting it like those that sell in Malaysia. Jin han like it a lot......

The next candy is called Peanut Candy. It just looks like the normal, authentic peanut candies that is sell in the pasar malam or supermarket.

To my surprised , the candies are very fresh. It doesn't have the type of smell ; where oil had been over heated and been used several times.(sorry don't know how to describe)

It is also very crispy, not too hard that will break your tooth hehe...But it is certainly sweeter than the black sesame peanut candies mentioned above. However, i enjoyed both the candies a lot...
The Kok Kei bakery is also famous for its Almond Biscuits. It really taste very good and fresh!. I didn't manage to took a picture of it, but i can said that it is worth to buy and try the almond biscuits. I am not a fan of almond biscuits, but this Kok Kei Bakery almond biscuits certainly is the best almond biscuits i had tasted so far!!
Will certainly shop at that place again if i am going Macau.


Overall rating:

  • Food : 7/10
  • Price : RM3-5 per packet (Kee Wah bakery ; each packet about 10-12 pieces of cookies),RM10 per packet (Kok Kei Bakery),
