- Portuguese egg tart: It has a flaky pastry shell and a creamy, sweet egg custard inside with a creme brulee-like consistency. The caramelized top contributes much to the flavor. It's preferable to eat it when it's still warm.
- Pork chop bun: A seasoned pork chop atop a bun is what the pork chop bun is all about. The bone-in, wonderfully delicate and tasty pork chop is served.
- Portuguese seafood rice: The Portuguese version of seafood rice is soupier than the Spanish and Italian versions. The soupy rice simmered with a host of other ingredients in the tomato seafood broth is the star ingredient, which can be enjoyed with delicious mussels or the massive prawns.
- The prawn tartare: The prawn tartar is a standout, with delicious, sweet prawns marinated in lemon juice and blended with olive oil for a wholesome feeling in the tongue.
