Fat Rice Cookbook by Abraham Conlon and Adrienne Lo

I don't know how we missed it, but this cookbook came out in 2016 and it wasn't until we were on a recent return visit that we saw that it existed.  I put a hold on it on my library card before our food hit the tacle.
Fat Rice is more than just a restaurant. It's essentially a cultural and food experience reflecting the various influences at work on the island of Macau.  The Portuguese were world class ship builders in the 15th century and so the cuisine is a cross between Chinese, Portuguese, Southeast Asian with a hint of India.  "Macau was the last established territory in the Portuguese empire; therefore, its cuisine had influences from all of the places Portuguese traveled along the way," the authors write.  And I do recommend taking some time to read the story contained within this cookbook, because it is both fascinating and it captures the vibe of the restaurant itself.
Then there are the recipes.  Wow, just wow.  Everything that i have had there is contained with in.  not only that, there are drawings, cartoons, and gorgeous photographs throughout.  The first recipe we made was the Hong King French Toast, which is a peanut butter and banana sandwich dipped in an egg batter, deep-fried, and served with a coconut and sweetened condensed milk sauce.  Our youngest had it on his first trip to the restaurant and has been dreaming of it ever since.
