Macau's St. Paul's 'A Day'｜Caramel Pudding and a Healing Afternoon in the Alley

Hidden gem alert! A dessert shop tucked away near St. Paul's Ruins in Macau is a delightful surprise! We arrived around 5 PM, and it was packed, but luckily snagged a window seat. The wooden decor paired with warm yellow lighting and the aroma of baked pudding instantly melted away weekend fatigue. Must-try dessert and drink combos: 🍮 Vanilla Caramel Baked Pudding: Incredibly creamy! The egg flavor blends perfectly with vanilla seeds, and the caramel layer has a slight bitterness (apparently their signature touch!). When you cut into it, the pudding jiggles like it's nodding—perfect for sharing between two people. 🫧 Candied Lemon Ginger Soda: A refreshing choice! The lemon zest aroma mixed with the mild spiciness of ginger, and the bubbles dance on your tongue. It's the perfect palate cleanser after dessert. 🍓 Homemade Jam Soda: Overflowing with girly charm! The owner-made strawberry jam clings to the glass, with fresh fruit chunks sinking to the bottom. Stirring with a straw feels like a treasure hunt. Ambiance and details: • Semi-open kitchen lets you watch the chef make pudding—the sizzling sound of caramel being poured into molds is incredibly soothing. • Walls adorned with old Macau photos, and the seating is spacious enough to avoid disturbances from neighboring tables. 📍 Address: 23 Muk Kiu Street, Macau (5-minute walk from St. Paul's Ruins) 💡 Closed on Tuesdays! Arrive before 1 PM to avoid long lunch queues. Summary: Perfect for dessert lovers and those looking to escape tourist crowds! From caramel pudding to homemade soda, every bite carries the warmth of the alley. Don’t forget to turn on your camera’s 'food mode'—you wouldn’t want to miss capturing the pudding’s jiggle moment 📸
