Main Features:
Golden Churn Butter, Indian almonds, flour and milk can be used only on the third day after completion of their fermentation. Fermentation in day one, relentless stirring in day two and cutting and packaging in day three. This is the magic of making the chewy and aromatic Alua. Usually made only in winters, it is a Christmas delight that can be kept for a whole year in refrigerator. To Portuguese people, Christmas is like Chinese New Year, and Alua is their festive cake. In October to December every year, most of the Golden Churn Butter imported into Macao from New Zealand may probably be destined to Alua e Comidas Portuguesa Kam In. With the hard work of the lady owner, Alua finally goes to the many households in Macao and becomes a Christmas companion for the Macanese and Portuguese people.
The three generations of heritage and century of history make this confection an intangible cultural heritage. People may feel newly opened storefronts lack a bit of soul, while long-established shops of different sizes may sometimes rest on their laurels. Yet the century-old Alua e Comidas Portuguesa Kam In has not forgotten its original aspiration, and it has instead sweetened the whole Macao for a century with healthy, tasty and handmade confections.
