A century-old dairy institution on Avenida de Almeida Ribeiro famous for one thing: steamed milk pudding, hot or cold, made from their own herd's milk. Locals actually eat here, prices are gentle (puddings around MOP 30-37), and it's steps from Senado Square. Expect a short queue and brisk, no-frills service.

Frequently asked questions

- Roughly MOP 30-37 per bowl depending on the version and toppings. It's one of the cheapest famous foods in Macau.
- How do I get to Leitaria I Son from Senado Square?
- It's about a 2-minute walk along Avenida de Almeida Ribeiro (San Ma Lo), the main street running past the square. Look for the queue and the retro signage at number 381.
- Is Leitaria I Son the same as Yee Shun Milk Company?
- Yes — Leitaria I Son is the Portuguese name, Yee Shun (義順) the Cantonese. Same family business, famous for milk from their own dairy herd.
- What should I order at Leitaria I Son?
- The steamed milk pudding — get one hot and one cold to compare, or try the ginger milk version, which curdles the milk with fresh ginger juice. Red bean topping is the classic add-on.
- Hot or cold milk pudding — which is better?
- Cold is silkier and more refreshing; hot is more comforting and lets the milk flavor bloom. If you're only having one, most first-timers prefer cold — unless it's winter, then go hot ginger.
- Is there a queue at Leitaria I Son?
- Often, yes, especially weekends and after lunch — but it's a fast-turnover place and tables free up quickly. You'll likely share a table at busy times; that's normal here.
- What are Leitaria I Son's opening hours?
- Daily from about 9am to 10pm — some listings show later weekend closing, so treat 10pm as the safe cutoff. No closing day, which makes it an easy anytime stop.
- Does Leitaria I Son serve real food or just desserts?
- There's a small savory menu — scrambled egg sandwiches, noodles, toast — that locals order for breakfast or a light lunch. But honestly, everyone's there for the pudding.
