I love eggs so much.

Fried eggs, steamed eggs, scrambled eggs, omelettes, morsels, soft centered eggs etc. Tonnes people out there love eggs too, we called them “Egg Freak”. You can eat them in any style, any forms, anywhere. To get the real good egg thing, Cafe Nan Ping is the best spot to go for.

Nan Ping has been in business for fifty years and it was originally a Dim Sum place. It is a must-visit location for every tourist who visit Rua de Cinco de Outubro. This famous old style Tea house restaurant is absolutely famous for its two-inch-thick egg sandwich.

Best egg sandwich in town

Well seated and served in egg sandwich and hot coffee in five minutes. The two-inch-thick, fresh yellow egg yolk like sandwich has entirely melted my heart. The non-toasted, snow-flaked white bread loaf, freshly made from the kitchen every day. The eggs extremely textured and slightly salty. Their stock-in eggs not the standards that purchased from supermarkets or such; and of course, the recipe is kept in highest secret.

It could be sourcing from Red and yellow eggs (that is, an egg type with a reddish colored egg yolk); mixed with other high-quality eggs, originate from a good recipe mix inputs; Perhaps an standard egg versus Duckling egg blend-ins, which out-stand its original color and rich flavors. Encountering the “golden ratio formula” – Egg white versus egg yolk contribution – is also an critical factor to make such yummy egg sandwich!

Definitely on the main menu lists that can’t missed out – Omelette and Savory Oat Porridge for breakfasts; only old Tea House restaurant could provide that. The must order coffee, milk tea, accompanied with the egg sandwich, definitely the bests of the bests, boost up your energy levels in the morning!

The Chinese Donuts

Their Bakery supply is just simply incredible. In particular, their Chinese round donut is quite hard to find in Macau nowadays. It can be seen at the Federal Restaurant, the yum cha place. The making process is quite tacky; it requires a short time finishing up eating; or otherwise, the whole Donut will shrink and flat out easily. If you leave the donut too long, it will also turned greasy; and the sprinkled sugar on the top will melt. It must be fried instantly and eaten immediately.

On the side too, the most well known Nan Ping Cafe Egg tarts, Chicken-Tail buns, White bread loaf cubes, etc, freshly made every day. Strictly speaking, its quite difficult to find some good ones in other bakery stores.

The Old styles

The old-style restaurant layouts, chipped and cracked cutlery, lousy horn-fan noise, air conditioned; The silver-haired waitress in old style white uniform serving in his own preferred style. Each order placed in a blinked eyesight; as if not paying too much attention at all, but all requests were on the go. The kitchen picked the order and cooked immediately, well served in minutes without any mistakes. Such old-style service kind of attitude is really amazing.

Most patron were the neighbourhood regulars; elderly stays the mosts – all stayed casual and enjoyed breakfast with a stack of newspaper in their hand. The boss sit well at the counter, with his cool serious look. He’s the spotlight among all; well seated on a high stool on its highest self, quietly waiting for customers to pay their bills, same time supervising all floors’ procedures. The kind of lazy lifestyle towards life is what makes them the loveliest.
