A great hot pot experience in Macau
2019-06-22  297 瀏覽
Went to Macau for the weekend and it was someones birthday so decided to celebrate it here as it was close to the hotel and the place is new and spacious.
This is the beauty of Macau, everything is spaced out with tall ceilings and tables well spread out.

To begin, everyone gets to mix sauces from the sauce tray.
I was impressed with the choices as there were more options than Hong Kong and they had the English for each sauce.
There were a few sauces that were really tasty such as the Thai Chili sauce which went well with the lobster.
For the non hotpot items, there was soy sauce fried rice and salt and pepper lobsters.

Eating the rice and lobster together was so satisfying.
The lobster was impressive as the coating was crispy and light.
As for the fried rice, every grain was fragrant and evenly coated in soy sauce.
Moving on to the hotpot, we had the tomyumkung broth and the pork broth.

Streaky pork with Sake:
The pork was quite unique because it was just like bacon but not cured.
You get a side of sake which you either dip before you put in the hotpot or dip after it is cooked.
I think it tastes better dipping in the sake after it has cooked in the pot because if you dip it before the sake gets diluted in the pot but overall delicious because the pork is tender.

Ferris wheel meatballs:
There was a good assortment of meatballs and my favourite was the one filled with salted egg yolk.

Dumplings:
The dumplings were neatly wrapped like tortelli, after they were cooked the prawns inside were nice and bouncy.

What appears to be fish shaped pudding is actually squid paste which you break up into smaller pieces into the pot.
When it is cooked, it is springy with delicious pieces of squid in it.
For beef, we had two types: Angus and Fresh beef slices with egg.
I liked the fresh slices of beef as they were tender and silky.

To finish, we had this light Chinese soup which had pieces of peach and egg which was soothing.

Our friend also got a free birthday cake because you get a free birthday cake if you book a birthday dinner a day in advance within the birthday month.
Will definitely be going again as Macau is always a good getaway.

I love coming here for Brazilian grill and it was my second time here.
There is so much choice from the salad and appetizer bar but I didn't eat much from there as they will continuously bring you freshly grilled meats.
The chicken wings and ribs were the best.
Don't eat too much as there is also juicy grilled pineapple dusted with cinnamon.
FW is a great place to go for Christmas and New Year.
There is a countdown here for New Year 2019 with local Macaunese singers!!

I really liked this cafe which is owned by a photographer from Hong Kong.We learnt a lot of good photography tips when we were there.
It is nice to that they served lots of European bites but as we were having dinner, I only had the hot chocolate because they didn't have Earl grey Tea but the hot chocolate was really smooth and silky and not too sweet.

Shame on HK dimsum
2018-01-28  4106 瀏覽
As I was in Macau with friends, they decided to go yumcha the next morning.
I didn't have any expectations because 99% of the dimsum in Hong Kong is crap, yet dimsum represents Hong Kong.
The 1% of delish dimsum goes to Dragon i, YumCha and Social Palace because there is quality control to some extent.
It really makes me wonder what tourists think of HK dimsum because the quality and taste is definitely better in UK and other countries according to ABCs and CBCs.
I think we had about 8 dimsums here and nearly every dish was good.
Just judging by appearance, they were neat and not oily and by taste, they tasted really good because it wasn't too oily and sweet.
My favourite was the beancurd sheet and gingko congee.
A simple but difficult congee to taste good because it was creamy all the way through and you could taste the gingko which was soft and creamy, while the beancurd sheets were soft but intact.
Definitely coming here to gorge out again and we were lucky we sat in a quiet area as yumcha can get quite noisy or perhaps HKer are just plain right noisy.
Shame on Hong Kong food which is just full of oil, msg and sugar that it really inspires me to become and chef in HK and cook shiit especially on the dark side of Kowloon where you don't get any service at all.

[Review 6324] Tasty Portuguese fare @ 廣場葡國餐廳 The Square Cafe And Portuguese Restaurant

We dined at THE SQUARE PORTUGUESE RESTAURANT located in the hotel offering delicious Portuguese fare with American decor.
I love Bacalhau, a must order in Macau.
They were small delicious bites of mashed fish and potato in a crisp croquette that were not too salty.

Next was the Kale and potato soup which was loaded with kale and the soup had a smooth consistency.

The Chicken curry with spices imported from India was quite spicy.

The mouth watering African chicken was also spicy but I liked the fiery chili and peanut sauce drenched on top.

For desserts we shared four different ones so we could try them all.
My favourite was the Serradura pudding because I love whipped cream!

Every time I end up here because this shop is everywhere and everyone thinks it is good.
This tried the new croissant pork chop bun recommended by the person at the counter.
The croissant was soggy and oily so it was not palatable.

Before going in, there were lots of press cutting on the windows about this place yet the prices of the noodles were fairly inexpensive.
It was really difficult choosing what to eat because there were so many combinations that seemed delicious.
The portions turned out to be quite small but they all tasted delicious so it was forgivable.
The beef in the beef curry was quite tough.
The fish skin is highly recommended because of the sauce and the texture is not as springy as the ones in Hong Kong but then it depends if you like it springy or soft.

Went here because the food was reasonably priced.
Had the crispy pork chop which was coated in bread crumbs.
I liked the way it was laced with fragrant black pepper.
Next were the noodles, it was tossed in delicious gravy.
My coconut milkshake was surprisingly good because it was mixed with coconut water which gave it a soothing sweetness.

Came across this bakery while I was randomly exploring MACAU.There were so many sweet and savoury items to choose from and it was affordable as well.
There was this interesting cheese and mochi bread!

The custard and salted egg yolk roll looked good as well.

But as it was tea time, I prefer having cakes so I had the green tea snow cake and the black forest cake.
Both were light and delicious filled with cream that was not too sweet.
The chocolate cake in the black forest was really good with a strong chocolate taste.
As for the matcha, the white fluffy cream on top was heavenly.
