Nam Peng Cafe

Macau


This blue-tiled retro cafe makes ethereal sugar-sprinkled puff doughnuts (MOP$5) and hearty egg-and-barbecue-pork sandwiches (MOP$20). Regulars sit reading the news at tiny booth tables that run down the cafe – between the open kitchen at the back and mounds of freshly baked pastries near the entrance.
