Macau has been getting a lot of press lately, as its recent glut of casinos helped it bankroll more than Vegas this year for the first time. There’s more to Macau, though, than the splashy new Wynn and Sands that have ended Stanley Ho’s decades-long lock on the casino business. Only a ferry or jetfoil ride from Hong Kong, Macau has a distinctly different culture–because it was a Portuguese, not a British colony–with unique architecture and cuisine. So, I was really pleased to see a new clip from Indietrekker, all about Macanese street food that can be found in the back alleys of the old city.
