Cha Gordo feast in the 1930s

Cha Gordo (Portuguese: Chá Gordo; Chinese: 肥茶; lit. 'Fat Tea'[1]) is a culinary tradition amongst the Macanese community in Macau that is likened to high tea.[1]

Historically, families with Portuguese heritage in Macau would host a Cha Gordo for a number of occasions, including Catholic holidays, christening, or birthdays, but it can be held for any reason.[2] Some families, historically, would even host one on a weekly basis.[1]

A Cha Gordo would take place following a Macanese wedding, instead of the elaborate banquet seen in Chinese weddings.[3]
