Macau's Spring Healing Spot at Ruins of St. Paul!
Indulge in the pistachio parfait at Sango Coffee and savor the taste of spring.
Hidden on Xinsheng Street, this Japanese-style café welcomes you with bamboo lanterns and succulent plants at the entrance. Step inside and be amazed by the 'spring mountain' of parfait cups stacked high. Inside the glass counter at the bar, the green-and-white pistachio parfait sits alongside the pink strawberry parfait, resembling two picturesque scenes of spring.
Must-try: Pistachio Parfait! The base layer features matcha warabi mochi and red velvet cookie crumbs. The middle layer is a delightful mix of pistachio ice cream, yogurt cream, and chewy shiratama balls. The top layer is sprinkled with crushed pistachios and a cute macaron. Use a long spoon to scoop from the bottom—experience the chewy mochi, crispy cookies, and rich ice cream all in one bite. The nutty aroma of pistachio perfectly balances the slight bitterness of matcha. The 'Strawberry Parfait,' on the other hand, is a burst of girly charm! Fresh strawberry sauce coats the cup walls, paired with tangy yogurt, fluffy sponge cake, and crunchy popping candy. The strawberry macaron on top bursts with sweet and tangy filling, making it irresistibly refreshing.
The café's wooden tables and chairs, along with its green plant wall, make it a perfect spot for photos. Upstairs, the window-side seats offer a view of the Ruins of St. Paul. Nearby, friends are snapping cute 'parfait cup raised high' photos, while the friendly staff hands out 'anti-stain aprons.' For drinks, try the 'Uji Kintoki Latte,' a classic combination of red bean and matcha, with ice cubes frozen with cherry blossom petals for an extra touch of elegance.
After your treat, plan a 'Spring Stroll Route':
1. Walk 2 minutes to the Ruins of St. Paul and take a cute photo with your parfait cup and the statue of the Virgin Mary.
2. Turn into 'Feng Tang Alley' and enjoy the last bite of shiratama in front of the mural walls.
3. Head to 'Dongwangyang New Street' at sunset to watch the pink hues of the setting sun paint Macau Tower, continuing the spring romance.
Summary: Perfect for those who love photo ops and seasonal exclusives! For just 60 MOP per person, you can enjoy both 'visual and culinary' satisfaction. Be sure to arrive early to snag a window seat, as the parfait cups here are 'too beautiful not to be paired with sunlight.' 📸
