MCM College: Portuguese Egg-tart Experiential learning Workshop
On September 17th, Camões House, Moon Chun Memorial College, hosted a Portuguese Egg Tart (Pastel de Nata) experiential learning workshop, blending culinary art with a touch of history.
Following the guidance of an expert, students took on a ‘hands-on’ masterclass of creating this iconic pastry. The workshop began with a brief introduction to the eggtart’s fascinating origins in Portugal, notably its creation by Catholic monks before the 18th century and its popularization in Lisbon’s monasteries. This historical context enriched the practical session that followed.
Students learned the intricate phases: from-scratch process: laminating the pastry to achieve the signature flaky crust, carefully shaping it into molds, and preparing the classic, smooth egg custard filling. The session culminated in the successful production of baking, and savoring first hand, oven-fresh golden-brown Portuguese style eggtarts. This activity served as a educational bridge – connecting students to an important feature of Macao’s Lusophone heritage and cultural gastronomic icon.
滿珍紀念書院：葡撻體驗製作工作坊
澳門大學滿珍紀念書院旗下的Camões House於9月17日成功舉辦了一場別開生面的葡式蛋撻製作工作坊，將烹飪藝術與歷史文化巧妙融合。
活動在專業導師的帶領下展開，參與的同學們不僅學習了製作技巧，更深入了解了這款標誌性甜點的深厚歷史。導師首先簡述了葡撻源自葡萄牙的悠久背景，其最早可追溯至18世紀前由天主教修道院所創製，其後在里斯本的糕餅店發揚光大，這段歷史故事為隨後的實踐環節增添了豐富的文化內涵。
同學們其後投入了從頭開始的完整製作過程：學習摺疊開酥以形成千層鬆脆的撻皮、將撻皮仔細捏合入模具，並調製經典滑順的蛋奶餡料。活動最精彩的時刻莫過於烤爐打開瞬間湧出的誘人香氣，大家滿懷成就感的品嚐著自己親手製作、新鮮出爐的金黃葡撻。這場體驗活動如同一座美味的橋樑，讓同學們在實踐中深刻感受到澳門作為中葡文化交匯點的獨特魅力與歷史底蘊。
