A pork chop bun is a super popular and famous snack from Macau. Many people think of it as a special food that Macau is known for! This tasty sandwich got its start from a Portuguese pork sandwich called Bifana.

The bun used for this snack is called a piggy bun. It's super crispy on the outside and wonderfully soft on the inside. A delicious fried pork chop is placed right into the bun. Some people even say it's like Macau's own version of a hamburger!

The pork chop bun is quite simple. It usually has just two main ingredients: a piece of bone-in pork chop and a bun that's been lightly toasted and buttered.
