福龍葡國餐廳 Restaurant Dragon

Our 2nd and last Portuguese cuisine in Macau. It seems famous as we saw the newspaper or magazine featured it. This is introduced by the receptionist at our hotel and less than 5 mins walking distance. We had tried Portugal chicken at A Lorcha 船屋葡國餐廳, so thinking to choose other dishes. So if you ask me which one taste better, I would like both also quite good and we can't tell the difference as we were not trying the same dishes.

Portuguese cuisines always served some bread before the main course is served. The bread was really good when eat hot.

Another traditional Portuguese appertiser, the thick cheese bread. They use their home made cheese and added on the bread, bake it. It is nice but not a very special one as I tasted it somewhere else. I love cheese but I cannot tell the difference with the homemade one with the others.

Portuguese Style Baked Duck Rice($150) - This is the restaurant signature dish and it took us 20mins to taste it. I am not a duck lover, but I like this dish. It is kind of oily to me as you can see when you scope till the bottom of the dish but still worth to try and I will temporarily forget about the fat. The rice tasted similar like our claypot rice and the ingredient they have duck meat and ham.

Roasted Portugal Sardines($63) - I had tried sardines in the tin, the normal tomato sauce sardines that you easier can find in supermarket. This is the first time trying fresh sardines. Simple dishes and it tasted good if i ate the white meat portion and if I ate the grey meat portion, I felt  it fishy, so the lemon actually helped to bring the fishy taste down.

豪庭缅甸美食

If you know the location, you will feel like the place so ulu (means very hidden in the street), how can we find this place? Well, we just followed the walking sign board. Due to the hidden location, there are people standing at the main street, with a big sign board promoting their food. I was quite full during the time as I ate too much egg tarts and I wanna save my space for another egg tart. Hence, I did not ordered any food but just try out from my friend dish. It stated it is type of Myanmar food.

They ordered below mixed beef noodles for sharing. It was quite a big portion with a lot of ingredient. By looking at the picture, it looks tempted. This tasted quite good but If I am eating, I dun think can finish as quite filling with potatoes come along.

This coffee tasted weird, lemon ice coffee, highly recommended by the shop, but we felt not nice at all. It could be we cannot get used with the combination. Basically it is dark coffee plus lemon, it came with sugar syrup.

滔滔咖啡美食

The 2nd day at Macau, we had no idea where to go for breakfast, so we got the hotel receptionist for some ideas on where is the good place. She recommended this, indeed a good recommendation as I like the food there. We are quite surprise of the yummy food here although when you step into the place, you will find it like old coffee shop. That is why normally people said the older the shop, the better the food.

I dun know how many milk tea I tried but I just ordered almost every day and same I got myself 滔滔 milk tea. This is nice as the tea flavour just nice with the milk. Some milk tea will be too milky but 滔滔 just nice.

My friend ordered the beef noodles soup. I did taste and it is really nice.

I got the french toast as I went to Hong Kong Cafe in Singapore and always tried their french toast so wanted to try how Macau serve it. Not much different from what I tasted else where, yummy too.

My gal friend ordered Wanton Noodles, again this is yummy. You can really eat the whole prawn in the wanton. After finished all our food, we felt like want to try their prawn dumpling, unfortunately they told us, prawn dumpling was not fresh as it was left over the night before and indeed they suggested us to get the fried wanton as they just made the wanton. We were fine with that and here came our fried wanton. Crispy and nice!

Bitter Sweet Dessert Cafe

While walking along the Taipa street, we spotted this cafe because of the Serradura cake(木糠蛋糕) as i saw from the book that this dessert is famous in Macau.  After when I back home and did a search, only then I realized Bitter sweet has long been known as the place to find the best in traditional Portuguese desserts. Their signature is the Serradura Cake and Fresh Cheese Cake.

Serradura is also known as "Macau's sawdust pudding", it is actually a layered chilled dessert made up of a sweetened, vanilla whipped cream and crushed biscuits.

We had our early dinner, hence quite full to go into the cafe, so we took away one piece and share among 3 of us. I would said it has to be served chilled for the best texture. Once taste, I know they use Marie Biscuits that we normally have with the breakfast, we do use Marie biscuit for some dessert but like the way Serradura cake have is quite new for me. It tasted good but it will be too much if I had too finish while piece by myself as the cream taste quite strong.

Some simple recipe that I found on this delicious cake.

猪扒包 Pork Chop Bun

What to eat in Macau? Common answers will be the egg tarts and the pork chop bun. I had tried different Egg Tarts. I tried 2 different pork chop buns in Macau and both I feel too dry, I must eat alone with some drink.

Tai Lei Loi Kei, the most famous pork chop bun in Macau. It is at Taipa island and I was lucky that there wasn't too long queue when I arrived. The cafe is kinds of old and no place to sit, I saw from website there should have some seat before but I guess they removed it. Lot of items are out of stock in their menu, so we only managed to get the pork chop bun.

Here you see the famous bun. It looked tempting!!  How is the taste? Great, I especially like the pork chop, I think they marinated well and it came with bones. The bun is crispy and soft. As what you can see from the picture, it is really pork chop + bun, no other ingredient. I am not too use to this type of combination as it was too dry for me and I must eat with some drink. I still prefer if there are some lettuces or tomatoes that comes along. Oh ya..the bun is not cheap though. It cost me $23 if I did not remember wrongly.

On my last day back home, I need to take ferry and went back to Hong Kong international airport for my flight back. I was thinking to buy some food for my lunch in the ferry and I saw this. It is quite easy to find as it is along the way to St Paul. St paul's pork chop bun,  the picture looks good so I took away one. I wanted to see what is the different this one and the famous Tai Lei Loi Kei. They sell egg tarts too.

The taste for the pork chop bun here is different from the Tai Lei Loi Kei. The pork chop can tell you which one is nicer but it doesn't means it is bad, it tasted average. Generally, I prefer Tai Lei Loi Kei. The bun itself less crispy. The marinated pork chop tasted not as great and the colour somehow made me feel like it was not too fresh. hmmm..I think we cannot judge by the colour. The price is cheaper.

利记咖啡

We had no idea what to have for the breakfast, so just walk around our hotel area and saw this cafe, tucked along the small lane - Rua Da Barca Da Lenha. The cafe give me a very traditional & local feel, may be because there is no much decoration and fancy stuff. I felt it will be good and glad that I am not disappointed.

The porridge tasted average, quite nice. They use lean pork, peanut and add with century eggs, very typical Hong Kong style porridge, or may be macau porridge also the same as they are so near, the culture should be almost the same.

The way they serve the tea and coffee is quite special. They separate the tea and other ingredient and gave you a filter for you to filter the tea leaves. We had milk tea and Yuan Yang(milk tea with coffee). I love it a lot, tasted great.

This is somehow quiet famous in Macau as I saw a lot of blog also mentioned this dessert shop. I thought it will be hard to find, apparently easy to locate as there are 2 along the Avenida de Almeida Ribeiro 新马路. We went there for supper as they open until quite late at night.

You can see all ready made desserts place in the glass fridge. Hence, it should be serving quite fast after you ordered.

Milk pudding is the main character, so we ordered a traditional one without any topping and the one with red beans. We got the cold one as the weather was too hot, we need cold to cool down. I prefer the traditional one as I feel the red bean too sweet. May be I love milk very much, so I fall in love with the dessert, it is soft and just tasted so good. MUST TRY!!

This is the egg pudding, the pudding had strong egg smell. Although I love everything with egg, but this egg pudding will be out of my list. If you like egg, I think you may still give it a try.
