🍽️ Money Biscuit

Crisp egg biscuit, Macau bakery.

Money Biscuit is a traditional crisp pastry from Macau's old-time bakeries, named for its round shape resembling an old copper coin. It is made from flour, sugar, lard and plenty of fresh eggs, giving a rich eggy aroma, and is kneaded, pressed in molds and baked. The biscuits come out golden and even, with slightly crisp edges and a crumbly, melt-in-the-mouth texture that finishes sweet and eggy without being cloying. Compared with Macau's better-known almond cakes and egg rolls, Money Biscuit has a plainer, purer character and represents old-style tea snacks. Macau locals enjoy it with tea, and visitors often buy it as a souvenir. At old bakeries along streets such as Rua do Cinco de Outubro and Rua do Cunha, freshly baked Money Biscuit still carries the handmade eggy taste—a small window into Macau's bakery heritage and everyday food.
