A pork chop bun is one of the most popular and famous snacks in Macau,and has been described as a Macau specialty. [1] Pork chop bun is derived from a Portuguese pork sandwich named bifana.
The bun (piggy bun) is extremely crisp outside and very soft inside. [2] A fried pork chop is filled into the bun [2] horizontally. It has been described as "the Macanese version of a hamburger." [3]
The ingredients of a pork chop bun are only a piece of bone-in pork chop and a lightly toasted and buttered bun.[ citation needed ]
