Macau is one of the few places in Guangdong and the Pearl River Delta where you can try Burmese food. Run by Burmese Chinese who moved to the city decades ago, most of these family-owned restaurants are located in the neighborhood surrounding a plaza known as ‘the Three Lamps.’ Behind each restaurant there’s a touching story about a family migrating to a foreign land.

This City Bites edition is supported by the Macao Government Tourism Office.
