Tai Lei Loi Kei Pork Chop Bun flagship 大利來記豬扒包 總店 (Macau, CHINA) ★★★☆☆

At this point, we were almost done at Taipa Village (氹仔舊城區) but there was one final spot Jelloman would like to hit before turning our attention to Galaxy – Tai Lei Loi Kei Pork Chop Bun flagship (大利來記豬扒包 總店). 



This is not the first experience we found ourselves at a Tai Lei Loi Kei establishment (as they have many outposts around Macau) but it will be our first dining experience at their (so-called) flagship location. Would it make a difference? Let's find out...

Some history on the wall here. This is where it all got started from a humble coffee stall back in 1968.

First up was their pork chop pineapple bun, a modern twist to their original pork chop bun. The oversized bone-in pork chop fried to golden brown color, was pretty succulent but the savory-sweet combination didn't work out as well as I thought it would.

Better was the original pork chop bun served on a warm, buttery Portuguese bun.

This was much much better. 

The original pork chop bun was probably worth a stopover (once) but they needed a much better cup of milk tea to make the whole experience worthwhile.
