Fong Kei: A Century of Handmade Chinese Pastries in Taipa, Macao

A century-old bakery on Rua do Cunha

On Taipa’s bustling Rua do Cunha, Fong Kei has been a fixture since 1902. Founded by Gao Chong as a tea house before evolving into a pastry shop, the bakery has spent over 118 years making traditional Chinese pastries by hand. No preservatives, no shortcuts — just the same careful methods passed down through three generations.

What you’ll find inside

The signature lineup includes gai zai beng (chicken biscuits), lo po beng (wife cakes), almond biscuits, and meat-cut crisps. Over time, golden peach pastries, egg biscuits, and walnut cakes have also become customer favourites. Everything is made on-site, and the quality has made Fong Kei a must-stop for visitors seeking authentic Macao souvenirs.

Recognition that speaks for itself

Fong Kei’s commitment has earned it a place in the Michelin Guide from 2016 to 2020, with inspectors noting the “well-made almond biscuits and egg rolls.” In 2010, third-generation owner Gao Pei Ji received the Medal of Tourist Merit from the Macao government. The bakery was also named a “Macao Characteristic Old Shop” in 2019 — an honour that recognises businesses preserving local heritage. It’s a rare continuity in a fast-changing city, and one that keeps people coming back.
