Rua de Cinco de Outubro @ October Fifth Bakery

Came across this bakery claiming to be a product from Macau, it looked interesting so went in.
The packaging of the biscuits was quite nice, it even had English on it, and more surprisingly they have a website too.

Its name October Fifth is quite interesting too, although I wasn’t sure if it was meant to resemble anything, it made me think of Autumn festival

According to the company “The October Fifth Street (Rua de Cinco de Outubro in Portuguese) was first known as Si Meng Street a hundred years ago as a bustling street in Macau selling a full array of local products. October Fifth Bakery of Macau offers local flavours for your enjoyment.

The product range offers western items such as cookies, and chocolate egg rolls too!

For the traditional range, there are normal egg rolls, pork floss rolls, basically the type of items you would find in Wing Wah bakery.

I brought the abalone cheese puffs, which is a box of individually wrapped biscuits inside.

It wasn’t really puff pastry as name stated, but an extremely buttery biscuit.
The biscuit was rolled with cheese and baked, and looked like a flattened swirl.

It didn’t taste as good as I hoped for, the cheese was bland, and the biscuit was far too buttery.
The cheese could have tasted stronger, there was smell but no taste.
The biscuit contained sesame seeds.

I think next time, I will probably try the seaweed pastry.
