Macau, as the world’s gastronomic capital, no restaurant can adequately represent the taste of Macau, because it must be diversified and rich. From the time-honored restaurant on the street corner to the Michelin-starred restaurant in the luxury hotel, from an 80-year-old ice cream to a Neapolitan pizza, they all together form the wonderful food and taste of Macau.
Macau is not big, covering 32.9 square kilometers. It consists of three islands: Macau Peninsula, Taipa, and Coloane. You can almost walk through the entire territory in 3 days, but this small place has countless hidden things. Qing's Michelin restaurants, Black Pearl restaurants, Italian cuisine, Cantonese cuisine, Portuguese cuisine, and Southeast Asian cuisine make this city's dining scene shine and allow tourists to satisfy their appetites.
Last week, I traveled to Macau. In 4 days, I ate from street stalls to Michelin-starred meals. It was so great. The last time I had such a hearty meal was at Another World Food Capital: Yangzhou. Different from the Chinese classical culture of Yangzhou cuisine, Macao's cuisine is partly influenced by Europe and partly inherits tradition.
Wynn Restaurant
The Wynn Restaurant is not only famous in Macau, but also well known by gourmets around the world. Because it has been crowned with Michelin stars for twelve consecutive years, it is now a two-star Michelin restaurant, has won five-star honors from Forbes Travel Guide many times, and won one diamond from the Black Pearl Restaurant Guide 2018.
The dragon on the wall of the restaurant hall is actually made of pure crystal. It sparkles and is particularly eye-catching. The theme color of the restaurant is gold and red, which is magnificent but not conventional at all.
Whether it is Portuguese or Cantonese cuisine, they are all made by famous chefs. I especially like the snow shadow roasted dinner buns. The outside is crispy and the inside is rich meat sauce. This bun is called "forgettable" by diners. Can’t make steamed buns”.
Fried rice with mandarin ducks and crispy rice with scallops and mandarin ducks is a Portuguese dish. The Portuguese especially like to use ham, which is a kind of pickled salted fish, but it does not feel salty when added to the fried rice. There are three kinds of rice, namely black rice, crispy rice, and white rice. Every bite you take is a mixture of soft, crispy, and crispy.
When you arrive in Macau, you must eat Michelin once, because the Michelin restaurants here are very cost-effective. It usually costs about 1,500-2,000 yuan to eat Michelin once in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou in the mainland, but in Macau you can eat at Michelin at noon , go to a Michelin restaurant to eat some delicious pastries, the price is only more than 300 yuan, even a dinner is relatively cheap.

We praised the food so much that the chef enthusiastically gave us his favorite dish: Neapolitan pizza. This is a very authentic Neapolitan pizza.
