A fusion of Portuguese spices like cinnamon 🌿 and turmeric with homegrown Macanese ingredients, creating dishes that taste like a passport to history.
The star of the menu? A baked apple dessert recipe passed down from her grandmother—a symbol of resilience and cultural pride. 🌟 'Every bite tells a story,' Palmira says, highlighting her mission to preserve Macao's unique identity through food.
