Macao is very small, with an area of 32.9 square kilometers. It consists of three islands: Macau Peninsula, Taipa Island and Green Island. You can almost walk the whole journey in three days, but in this small place, there are countless Michelin restaurants, Black Pearl restaurants, Italian cuisine, Cantonese cuisine, Portuguese cuisine and Southeast Asian cuisine, which make the city's catering shine and satisfy the appetite of tourists.
Last week, I went to Macau. In four days, I had a Michelin dinner at a street stall. That's so cool. The last time I ate so happily was in another food capital of the world: Yangzhou. Unlike Yangzhou cuisine in China's classical culture, Macau cuisine is partly influenced by Europe and partly inherited from tradition.
Yonglixuan
Yonglixuan Restaurant is not only famous in Macau, but also known by gourmets all over the world. Being crowned with Michelin Star for 12 years in a row, it is now a Michelin two-star restaurant, and has won the five-star honor of Forbes Travel Guide for many times and the honor of "Black Pearl Restaurant Guide 20 18".
The dragon on the dining hall wall is actually made of pure crystal, sparkling and particularly eye-catching. The theme of the restaurant is gold and red, resplendent, but not unconventional at all.
Portuguese cuisine and Cantonese cuisine are both made by famous artists. I especially like Xue Ying BBQ buns, which have crispy skin and fragrant meat sauce inside. This kind of steamed stuffed bun is called "unforgettable steamed stuffed bun" by diners.
Ma Jiexiu crispy fried rice with mandarin duck is a Portuguese dish. Portuguese people especially like to use Ma Jiexiu as a kind of salted fish, but it doesn't feel salty when added to fried rice. There are three kinds of fried rice, namely black rice, crispy rice and white rice. Every bite is soft and crunchy.
When you arrive in Macao, you must eat Michelin once, because the Michelin restaurant here is very cost-effective. Eating Michelin in the mainland usually costs about 1500-2000 yuan. But in Macau, you can eat some delicious cakes in Michelin restaurant at noon, and the price is only 300 yuan, even dinner is relatively cheap.
Dangao Fengsu 1890 Italian Restaurant
Mr. Stanley Ho is the most familiar person in the New Lisboa Hotel. His bust sculpture and his precious and priceless antiques and collections are displayed in the lobby of the hotel.
There are also several restaurants in New Portugal, all of which are top-notch. This time I went to Macau and experienced its Italian restaurant: Dangaofeng Su 1890.
For this restaurant, the impression is great! In addition to the European style of decoration and the taste of details, a bottle of vinegar and olive oil on the table also comes from Italy. Add a little when eating bread, which can improve the taste!
Their dessert is so rich that the process of eating is like exploring a magical taste world!
While eating, we praised the food so much that the chef gave us his specialty: Napoli pizza, which is very authentic, without any mushrooms, vegetables and cheese, but the production process was strictly controlled by the chef, and every bite of bread was memorable! So this is the unique charm of Italian Naples pizza!
Yaqi restaurant
Besides Michelin and Black Pearl Restaurant, there are many old brands in Macau, which are also delicious. This Yaqi restaurant is very famous. The prince, showgirls and palaces have all been photographed here, and many stars will come here to patronize.
The location of the restaurant is very pleasant. It's on the seaside of the fishing village around the highway, in San Francesco Church Square. The dining room was covered by several towering old trees, which were driven out of their seats and became natural pillars.
Mr. Huang, the owner of the restaurant, is over 80 years old, but he looks only 60 years old. Although the restaurant is small, it has been open for more than 50 years, witnessing the development of Macao for 50 years.
Ordering a fish, a plate of seafood, a bottle of Portuguese beer or Macao beer and enjoying the slow sea breeze while eating is a great pleasure in life!
Rua do Cunha is only 50 meters long, but crouching tiger hides dragon, hiding more than 10 old snack bars and pastry shops, which makes people want to stop!
Lao Dai giblet
This old grocery store has a good business. During the tourist season, there are always long queues. A beef offal contains beef tendon, beef lung, tripe and brisket. The stew and rake are soft and glutinous, and every bite is very satisfying!
Bidashi bakery
Bitter bran cakes are widely circulated. In order to eat it, we wandered the streets for nearly 1 hour, just waiting for it to open. The cake looks ordinary, sprinkled with some biscuit crumbs, but after eating it, it is found that the raw materials such as milk are authentic and pure!
Tip: MOP 59 yuan/serving.
Mo Yi Ji Gao Xue branch
Don't miss Moiki ice cream. Too many people have eaten. It is also recognized on the Internet as the best ice cream in Macau. It has been opened for 50 years, and it is a real time-honored brand!
Especially durian-flavored ice cream, there are many durian ingredients in it. If you hold it in your hand for a while, it will melt and you will see durian fiber.
Tips: 68 yuan MOP 68/box.
Andrew bakery
You must eat egg tarts when you go to Macau, and you must eat Portuguese egg tarts from Andrew's family. The founder of this shop is Andrew, who is also the inventor of Portuguese egg tart. 1989 opened the first shop in Luquan Fishing Village, Macau, and Guanye Road was the second!
Egg tart 10 MOP, all other families get a 28% discount, but all his families don't get a discount.
Tips: egg tart 10 yuan 1 piece.
Hong Xin yezi Gao Xue branch
In order to eat this kind of coconut ice cream, we walked for more than 30 minutes on the narrow Guo Lan Street of the new road. It's incredible that this seemingly insignificant ice cream shop has been open for 150 years.
Coconut ice cream is made of fresh coconuts and traditional hand-made. It is sweet but not greasy, with a sandy flavor and a refreshing coconut flavor.
Tips: MOP 25 yuan/box.
Macao deserves to be the capital of food. Even if it's not for the scenery, it's worth eating those Michelin restaurants, time-honored snacks and snacks again! In this city where there is a century-old shop in three steps and Michelin Black Pearl Restaurant in five steps, the journey of the tip of the tongue never stops!
