The bread is Portuguese, not Chinese — a crusty bolo-style bun descended from colonial-era baking traditions.
A bone-in pork chop, marinated in soy, garlic, and spices, is deep-fried until crisp, then wedged whole into a crusty Portuguese-style bun.
Why it's made this way: The sandwich reflects Macau's centuries as a Portuguese trading post, pairing European bread with Cantonese frying and seasoning.
