Casa de Pasto Chan Kong Kei
19 Rua Dr Pedro Jose Lobo, Macau peninsula
Tel: (853) 2871 0378
Casa de pasto means 'small eatery' in Portuguese. This place has been famous locally for more than 20 years for its Cantonese lacquered duck and barbecued pork. It also served noodles,  although with less success.  There are often long queues at lunchtime. Easiest is to buy a takeaway and eat it somewhere else, because   the handful of tables are usually occupied by office and construction workers, and tourists.

The business started 50 years ago when owners used to keep cows in their backyard to produce fresh milk. The dairy is famous for its cold or warm milk or egg custard pudding, ginger steamed milk custard pudding and steamed milk and coffee pudding.
