Sweet pineapple shortcakes made using traditional Macau recipes.
Known otherwise as Si Meng Street (or Rua de Cinco de Outubro in Portuguese), Macau's October Fifth Street has been been home to generations of wonderful baked goods, including these 6 tangy-sweet pineapple shortcakes. Made with just wheat flour, vegetable shortening, eggs, sugar, milk and a traditional pineapple jam-like filling, these authentic shortcakes have a subtle savoury bite that irresistibly crumbles away, allowing you to enjoy their fruity, pineapple centre. Inspired by Portuguese baking techniques and a Chinese knack for flavour many years ago, these classic cakes have always been a must-try treat in Macau.
