IFTM runs Macanese food buffet, merchandise sale every Saturday

The Macao Institute for Tourism Studies (IFTM) has announced that it will start operating a Macanese food lunch and dinner buffet at its Educational Restaurant every Saturday. At the same time, gastronomic merchandise, such as Macanese shrimp paste and fig preserve, will also be available for sale. The buffet will feature some of the most iconic Macanese dishes, such as steamed stuffed bitter gourd, Macanese sauteed mixed vegetables and pickled starfruit. According to the IFTM, this initiative aims to prevent Macanese culture, and its intangible cultural heritage, from going extinct.
