Macao cuisine hits the streets

MACAO’S 2018 Year of Gastronomy has hit the streets of Sydney in the form of a brightly coloured food truck which will be serving up Macanese cuisine over the next few days.

The Taste of Macao Eat Art Truck made its debut yesterday in First Fleet Park at Circular Quay where locals had a chance to sample some of Macao’s favourite staples including its famous Portuguese egg tarts.

Led by Sydney chef Julian Cincotta, the truck will be at Circular Quay again today from 12-3pm before heading to Central Station tomorrow, Chatswood on Sat and Manly Wharf on Sun.

Macao Government Tourism Office (MGTO) gm for Australia and NZ Helen Wong said the truck would show Australians what to expect when dining in Macao.

“Not only does Macao have an impressive list of Michelin-star restaurants, the Asian centre is renowned for its street food, and this will be a perfect way for Sydneysiders to sample such cuisine,” she said.
