Where to eat?
When it comes to Macao, perhaps more people think of casinos, but in fact, the food here is also famous. Although Macau is a small place, it is full of delicious food, such as egg tarts, pork buns, Portuguese chicken, rice rolls and crab porridge. It makes my mouth water.
In addition to native Portuguese and Cantonese cuisine, there are also local specialties from Japan, South Korea, Southeast Asia, Europe, America, Africa and other parts of the world, so that people can enjoy the food and feel the food culture of various countries.
1. Lunji Soft Slip rice rolls
Ruanliu rice rolls is a small shop hidden in the street. The entrance is not particularly conspicuous, and there is no luxurious decoration. The appearance is about seven or eight square meters. There are two or three tables and chairs in it, next to the console, making rice rolls on the spot.
Although the environment is very general, it does not affect its business prosperity. You will see a bunch of people waiting in line at any time. Many food videos have recommended this store and there are many repeat customers.
Onion omelet is his signature. Rice rolls is tender and slippery. Eggs are evenly covered on the rice rolls, just like eating crystal jelly. There are four materials to choose from. In addition, there are fish eggs, porridge and so on. These are all worth a try.
2. Western Union Coffee
Western Union Coffee, located in Nanlong Garden, Feineng Wudao Street, the old town of Hands, can be said to be one of the must-see restaurants in Australia. In order to have a bite, many Macao locals will line up, not just tourists. I suggest you go there at non-dinner time.
Although it is called a cafe, it is actually an out-and-out old-fashioned tea restaurant with a wide variety. Just order anything and you won't step on the thunder.
Among them, crispy Ahuatian, beef jerky rice and oxtail powder are the most popular. Although it looks ordinary, its taste is worthy of recognition.
3. Rafamilia
If you want to eat authentic and accurate local Portuguese food, you must go to La Famiglia. The decoration is the same as the name of the store, with a strong Portuguese style and a good dining atmosphere.
Chef Florita Alves is one of the most famous Portuguese chefs in Macau. She is currently responsible for the kitchen operation and cooking of the restaurant. Every dish she cooks is not only attractive but also delicious.
Provide authentic Portuguese local cuisine, which can satisfy different tastes of different people. Popular dishes include Australian-Portuguese pork, Australian-Portuguese roast suckling pig, Portuguese stuffed crab with bread, Australian-Portuguese barbecue ball, shrimp with garlic paste, fried horse with shredded potatoes, Angus bone and seafood casserole. The restaurant also offers a variety of drinks, cocktails and wine.
4. Bella Tepa
Bella Taipa is an Italian restaurant, located in the small urban area of Rua do Cunha, and its pure white single-family buildings are eye-catching.
The restaurant has four floors and two dining areas, indoor and outdoor. The rooftop is very popular, with unique scenery and a little exotic.
The boss is a foreigner, but he can speak fluent Cantonese. The restaurant focuses on creative Italian cuisine, and there are also some simple meals suitable for fitness people to meet different tastes.
Where to drink?
Some people say that if you want to know a city, you must go deep into its streets, walk into ordinary shops on the street and chat with the boss. This is the true portrayal of the city.
Then, there is no more suitable object than a coffee shop. Have a cup of coffee, and you will feel the human touch of Macao.
1. Hidden coffee
As the name implies, this is a hidden cafe, located in a corner under the residential building. I hope the host can become a space to escape from troubles and city schools in a short time, and have a leisurely cup of coffee and a simple brunch snack.
Although the cafe is small, it has a warm atmosphere and specializes in coffee technology. All the coffee beans in the store are selected from all over the world, and shopkeepers often go abroad to collect fresh and high-quality coffee beans.
Homemade coffee beans are not only made into single cups of coffee and espresso in stores, but also sold as finished coffee beans. Coffee lovers can buy it home, grind and brew it.
This is one of the most popular boutique coffee shops in Macao, especially popular with local young people. The shop is located at the intersection of two streets, with a Nordic minimalist white facade and two large French windows.
In fact, the space is very small, divided into two floors, only two small tables. On the first floor is a coffee bar filled with coffee utensils and bagged roasted coffee beans for sale. The second floor is the dining area, and the decoration style is simple and exquisite.
The coffee beans here are very fresh and all come from the same source. The beans in Panama are baked independently by the owner, and a cup of hand-brewed coffee has a high brewing technology.
3. Bloom Cafe
Blooom occupies a very important position in Macao's independent boutique coffee shops. Many coffee shops have their own coffee beans.
The coffee shop is next to the sparrow garden market. The advantage of not being in the tourist area is that you can see many images of local people's life here. There are pharmacies, grocery stores and fruit stalls next to the shops.
There are not many seats in the store, and the bar is occupied by full coffee tools. There are all kinds of coffee beans and utensils on the table at the door and on the shelf by the wall, all of which are baked and developed by the brand itself. Compared with other literary cafes, blooom is more professional.
