Macanese cuisine in Greater Boston? Also, Corner Mall, DTX
I ask because I just had a pork chop sandwich from the Casserole Cafe in the Corner Mall food court in DTX, and discovered the owners are from Macau. Pretty good sandwich for $3.99, though I suspect the original would be a different kind of pork chop (this seemed like a factory-made battered cutlet) on a different kind of bun (this was toasted white bread). With mayo, butter, and iceberg lettuce. Decent iced milk (black) tea.
I don't think I've ever wandered into that food court; I wonder if Hounds know of any other potential novelties in there.

Probably your best bet for an "original" style pork chop bun would be the one on the menu at Cafe de Lulu, though I haven't had it there. They have the necessary ingredients (HK style sandwich menu, deep-fried five spice pork chop). Shouldn't have mayo or lettuce. Then go to Great Taste for a Portuguese tart that's nothing like Lord Stow's, but in a good way.

I've tried to go to Cafe de Lulu twice, and both times was so completely ignored by staff that I left before ordering anything. I've been eating in Chinatown Boston for 30 years and have never ever goitten the deep freeze I experienced there. Needless to say, I won't be going back to try again.

Have not been in a while, but the sushi joint seems to do bang-up business at lunchtime with good turnover on the rolls, and turnover is always a good thing, if you know what I mean.
