🍽️ Pork Chop Bun

Fried pork chop in a bun, a Macau snack.

Pork chop bun is a Macau-style Western snack. An oval piglet bun is toasted until slightly crisp, then split and stuffed with a thick marinated pork chop, pan-fried or fried until juicy. The bun is crisp outside and soft within; the chop is savory and juicy, meat aroma bursting in the bite. Macau versions prize tender pre-marination and pan-frying that locks in the juices, best in a fresh-baked bun. Eaten for lunch or afternoon tea with an iced milk tea or soda, one bite bun, one bite chop, filling and satisfying. At street bun shops across the peninsula, a steaming pork chop bun is an honest favorite of visitors and locals alike.
