Carefully selected 17 of my favorite private food restaurants to fill your stomach

I don't know when it started, but the three words "Let's go have fun" have become a rare wish. Every time we want to organize a group trip, we are always unable to travel due to various concerns, so I thought this food and drink guide would be postponed for a while. Until this year, many people asked me if I had finished writing my Macau food and drink guide? I suddenly realized that our lives are finally back on track.

As the first outbound destination that can be considered, the Greater Bay Area has recently been crowded with tourists from all walks of life. In the Greater Bay Area, many people probably position Macau as a city next to Hong Kong. Most tourists' itineraries are to play in Hong Kong for a few days and then go to Macau to take a photo at the Ruins of St. Paul's. If you turn on the tourist filter, people who have been to Hong Kong, Las Vegas and Lisbon will not think this place is so fun (after all, why do you need a replica when the original is there), but what if you turn on the foodie filter? Ahem, I have something to say

The following are 17 of my favorite private collections for you. It is enough to bring a pair of eyes to Macau, but how many stomachs should you bring?

No.1 Sheng Nan’s Family


Although there are many delicious Taiwanese dishes in the mainland, it is hard to find delicious beef noodles, but there are some in Macau.

Braised Three Treasures Beef Noodles: The soup has a strong herbal flavor with a little sweetness, which is almost the same as what you eat in Taiwan. The taste of all the ingredients is also online.

Braised Pork Rice: White radish is the soul, paired with oily braised pork, who can understand the pleasure of having a mouth full of oil? The best is still the Taiwanese sausage, the taste of sorghum wine with garlic, it's so refreshing.

Price: 50-100 per person

NO2 jollibee


At the beginning of 2021, I saw a confirmed case. Someone came to this fried chicken shop to check in for three consecutive days. I couldn't help but wonder how delicious it must be. Until I came to the Philippine national fried chicken Jollibee in person, a set meal was about the same price as KFC, the portion and quality were very touching, relatively American seasoning, crispy and juicy, especially the mashed potatoes, delicate mashed potatoes with full gravy, dipped in fried chicken, the deliciousness is perfect

Price: 30-50 per person

No.3 Subtropical coffee delicacies


One thing that is similar between eating and fan circles is that there are so many idols, and everyone has their own favorite one. If you talk about the most delicious pork chop buns and Portuguese egg tarts, everyone has a different answer, but when it comes to minced beef rice, everyone will recommend this subtropical coffee food. The soup of the day is seaweed and pork ribs soup. Unlike ordinary fruits, the soup is more refreshing with seaweed. The beef rice is a super large plate, and there are so many potatoes that it is full. The dense and fluffy feeling is amazing. The beef is tender with a little soy sauce, and the plate is gone quickly with refreshing onions. This kind of community canteen is usually made by masters who have been cooking for decades, no doubt

Price: 40-60 per person

No.4 Century Coffee


I remind you again and again that the pork chop bun is only available in the Taipa store. The old store in the Peninsula is on a big slope. It was almost exhausting to climb up. What's more frustrating is that it only sells coffee and sandwiches. The store is so arrogant that it only accepts cash. A coffee and a thick egg pork chop bun cost 65mop, but the portion is great. The bread is a relatively simple cornstarch bread, and the pork chop is a more distinctive Cantonese seasoning. The real skill is in the thick omelette. The golden omelette is very smooth and tender after biting it. There is no extra sauce. It is purely salty, but it is much better than what I ate in Lisbon. The clay pot coffee has a bit more charcoal fragrance. Drink a sip of it cold and you will never leave in summer.

Price: 30-50 per person

No.5 Park


One of the hottest izakayas in Macau, the grilled rim and cuttlefish sushi that are not common in the north are almost the same as those made in Japan. Several grilled skewers are noteworthy and delicious. The pig intestines are very generous and heavy. The simple seven-flavor powder and some white miso salt seasoning are already very fragrant. The fat is just right and the tenderness is beyond words. It is very good. Seven-flavor pork neck, seven-flavor powder and a little bit of spicy constitute the whole seasoning. The pork neck is just a tender taste. If there are many people, you can order one to share. Pork meat and lychee rolls are the signature. The most feared thing about this kind of charcoal grilled fruit and meat is that the taste changes too much after the fruit is heated. Facts have proved that there is still a certain confidence in daring to play like this. The pork is crispy and the lychee inside is slightly firm but still fragrant. There is no sense of disobedience. It is a dish worth trying and recommended. Chicken skin cuttlefish rolls are novel but delicious. Needless to say, the cuttlefish rolls are much more elastic than shrimp rolls. They are firmer. The chicken skin is amazing. It is crispy like rice paper and cracks directly when you bite it. The taste is average and the taste is amazing. I recommend you to try it. Cheese beef ribs are much better than beef ribs, especially the cheese is more and better, and it is very addictive when paired with the tender beef ribs. If you are not full, you can add a half-cooked beef rib rice. The beef is thinly sliced ​​and the portion is average. The meat is good, tender and easy to chew. The sauce is standard, classic Japanese steak sauce. The price of 98mop is also reasonable. Carb lovers can order one to try

Price: 200-300 per person

No.6 Huanji Xiaochao


Almost all restaurants that Fengwei has been in are eaten by locals. The word "Shiye" probably refers to this kind of place. Fried large intestine, the crispy skin actually has the texture of roast suckling pig, crackling like a thin crisp, soft and tender to the point that you can gently sip it, with sour buckwheat, I ate a plate by myself. Pepper and salt corn, the sweet corn is fried refreshingly, pepper and salt + garlic fried method, it tastes salty and sweet, a perfect match. Braised vegetable gall with mushrooms, although this store does not have group purchase discounts, but there is a special dish every day, braised vegetable gall with mushrooms, super large portion 12mop, boiled vegetables + oyster sauce, plump mushrooms and lettuce of average quality, the price-performance ratio is generally ok. Kyoto steak, the moment it was served on the table, I was panicked, it was all meat without even a cucumber cube, I don’t know what brand of ketchup it was fried with, it was sweet and bitter, fortunately the steak itself was moderately coated with flour, so it still felt full of meat. The soy sauce shrimps are all shrimps without any side dishes. They are stir-fried to the right degree without shrinking obviously. They are still springy when eaten. They are salty but not sweet. If you want to eat something fresh and sweet, it seems better to boil them. The scallops and broccoli are spectacular to the naked eye. The scallops are used for thickening, and the broccoli is boiled without even salt. It is a bit raw and hard to bite, but it is rare for vegetables to be so fresh. Each dish is incredibly large. How is the price? So many dishes are converted to less than RMB 300. Do you want to arrange it right away?

Per capita: 60-100

No.7 meat up niku bar


I would like to introduce my favorite restaurant in Macau, Meat Up Niku Bar, which is almost comparable to the Japanese yakiniku. It is a restaurant that An Yixuan often visits in Macau. The price is not cheap, but it is almost always full.

I ordered a chef's platter, which is not the highest grade, but it has my favorite beef short ribs and beef belly, which were served to the table. The color is the winner, and the fat and lean are evenly distributed just right. I saw the waitress took the meat and passed it over the fire twice and put it directly on my plate. I almost burst into tears after taking a bite. Sure enough, the top ingredients only need simple cooking. The fat melts directly in the mouth, and it is so tender that it is fried. This bite directly made me doubt whether the real wagyu I had before was really tender. Every kind of meat is very tender, even the beef ribs that are chewy are so tender and refreshing. It tastes especially good with his Sichuan spicy oil and rice.

His Instagram They said that if you come to the store after 9:30, you will get a small hamburger for free. Although there is no group purchase, it costs more than 100 yuan. Although hamburgers are made with some scraps to avoid waste, this store is definitely not sloppy even with scraps. Super juicy hamburgers with cheese, tender meat, very delicious, plus homemade Japanese salad dressing

When the hamburger rice is cooked, the fullness of the rice grains is needless to say, just the right sticky and tender satisfaction is off the charts, the hamburger meat is quite sincere with the blue egg yolk, the tender hamburger meat is cut into pieces and eaten with rice. Raw beef roll, I wanted to order one with sea urchin, but the sea urchin was gone. As the old saying goes, the really good meat can be eaten raw, marinated with simple soy sauce, and it is very satisfying to take a bite

In addition to the evening discount, this restaurant also has an early bird set meal, which is a special platter, but you have to finish eating and leave before 7 o'clock. I really tried my best to take advantage of this. I was hungry for a whole day before going to eat, so that I could have a meal for two without any pressure. I was still a little dumbfounded at first. It was much larger than the platter on the first day. At first, I heard that this plate was close to 1,000, and I felt heartache until the waiter told me that the steak a la carte cost more than 600

There are two kinds of beef tongue, thick and thin cuts are very tender, and they are great with green onions. Wagyu is said to be the highest grade and the most expensive ribeye, and the fat distribution is more even, but it doesn't seem to win much compared to the slightly lower grade. The tenderness is online, but it is hard to say that it is delicious across grades. The shrimp is very fresh, the meat is good, but the shrimp head is a bit bitter. Pork belly is normal, far less amazing than beef. If I have to choose between the two, I prefer the late night snack.

Price: 500-800 per person

No.8 Shu Road


Although the original intention of going to this restaurant was just because they have a special set meal on weekdays, it was still a surprise overall

Scallops with roasted pepper sauce, accompanied by wolfberry, the refreshing pepper and the sweet scallops are a good start

Chengcheng mouth-watering chicken, it is quite a small portion, the amount of chicken is not large, but all parts are given, it feels very tender after being frozen, the sauce and sesame sauce are very rich, and the quality is not bad

Traditional winter melon bird's nest, a dish that looks like bird's nest but has nothing to do with bird's nest. The winter melon is cut into thin strips and stewed with a little broth until it is soft and dense. Overall, it is quite interesting, which is a dish that tests the chef's knife skills

Stir-fried Wuhua Nan, it feels quite like twice-cooked pork, but the meat has a kind of oil-sealed crispy feeling, and the chili flavor is all in. The chili is well selected. I am most afraid of bitterness, but this one handles it well

Zhong dumplings, if you say that the top-notch meat filling and the elastic taste are sold for 40 or 50 yuan, it's a bit of a rip-off, but the seasoning has a very refreshing fruity fragrance, sweet Very refreshing, I think it is probably because of the addition of osmanthus honey, the chili oil is refreshing, which is the innovation I like. It is because of this dish that I decided to come for the second time.

Kung Pao Chicken, the seasoning itself is not very innovative, but the cashews are very good, crispy, super crispy, so I say that as long as the ingredients and dishes are selected correctly, half the success is achieved, even if it is done step by step, it is still a good dish.

Chicken shredded cold noodles, the portion is quite large, the noodles are not greasy but relatively refreshing, the cucumber is very fresh, the chicken shreds are not dry and are also right, it is quite delicious.

Mapo tofu, it can be said to be the most delicious Mapo tofu. Compared with the general use of bean paste to enhance the fragrance, the meat and pepper fragrance of this one are more prominent, the tofu is extremely tender, and the saltiness is much lower, it is a great tool for rice.

In comparison, I personally feel that Dandan noodles are average. Although the rice is delicious, it costs 20 yuan a bowl, which is a bit of a rip-off. The waitress directly gave me a bowl and gave me full service points.

Price: 300-500 yuan per person

No.9 Pinyue Xuan


It is located behind the casino. When gamblers lose money, they go to the food stalls upstairs to eat at less than 100 yuan per person. When they win money, they come here to eat. The ecological loop is closed. The average price is not cheap, but the tasting set is really good.

The three-piece dim sum, the shrimp dumpling skin has a bit of the feel of the Typhoon Shelter, and it tastes crispy and chewy. The quail egg pork siu mai is really runny and super tender. Added a little spicy to wake up the flavor, delicious, Teochew rice cake is also very unique, super soft and sticky, the vegetables inside are also sweet, generally to my taste

Phoenix tail crab meat tofu soup, is lettuce tofu soup, super delicious, no vegetable residue, tofu is soft and tender, crab meat is fresh, it is really eating in Guangdong

Red cloud lotus steamed shrimp balls, although I can't remember the seasoning, but the shrimp meat is super elastic and smooth, two bites of the whole swallow

Olive vegetable black pork barbecue fried rice, Yulongxuan started, many restaurants have also introduced this barbecue fried rice, not amazing but definitely qualified fried rice, dry and oily, eat it up

Although I love the whole meal, but my favorite part must be the dessert, simple almond tea with phoenix balls (also known as sand wow), Manila vanilla seeds with milky fried dough, fluffy and soft, inner OS, is there anything more enjoyable than this? Finally, I drank the almond tea in one gulp, and my mouth was full of almond flavor. The residue was removed very cleanly, not bad, not bad

The bill gave me three very solid small desserts. The mango flavored one was quite delicious. The sesame cake was quite good. The whole meal was very satisfying. I decided to come again the next day

The scallion noodles with scallops. First of all, the scallops were quite good. They were indeed runny and very sweet and tender, but the noodles, I personally felt a little dry, just... Why is the tasting menu so amazing but the single order is mediocre? I don't understand

Peach gum ginger milk, the desserts of Lao Canton are still okay. The sweetness of the ginger milk is well controlled, and it doesn't feel sticky at all. It's more than 60 yuan a bowl, which is not cost-effective, but it is also the most worthwhile of the whole meal

The signature black pork treasure box and sand ginger chicken are one too salty and the taste is average. Just order a weekday set meal (if it is still available now)

Price: 300-500 per person

No.10 sushi in


A very popular sushi in Macau. I don't know if it's due to the epidemic, but it has recently opened for lunch. The price is cheaper. I made an appointment as soon as I arrived in Macau, but I can only make an appointment for three days later. It seems to be very popular. The only difference between the 480 and 680 set meals is one wine dish and one hand roll. Do I need to choose? I'll choose the cheaper one.

The two wine dishes are quite good. There are six sushi in total. In addition to the common red fish and sweet sea bream, there are also white roe and sea urchin to choose from. The sea urchin and kelp are mixed with a sense of technology and liveliness. It's the first time I've eaten white roe. Why does XX taste milky when it's roasted? The soft and smooth feeling of bursting is the joy of eating it. Don't ask how many things come from, just show it off..............

The hand roll is a raw beef tartare with crispy shiso leaves, which is crispy and tender. Although the sushi rice is too loose, the flaws do not outweigh the merits. I don't know if this restaurant still has a relatively cheap lunch set meal now that it is fully open. Will the days of getting the wool from Macau last October come again?

Price: 400-700 per person

No.11 WANG HANDS OHTE


The reason I came here in the first place was that I couldn't forget the wagyu sandwich after eating it at sakamai. I wanted to order it wherever I saw it, and the only place that provided decent wagyu sandwiches. Kagoshima wagyu sandwich, the crispy bread was OK, the meat was better than the one at salee, but it was still walled like the one at sakamai, and you could taste obvious tendons. The tenderness was OK, but it was still far behind sakamai. The price of more than 400 yuan was slightly low in terms of cost performance. If you can't eat at sakamai, there seems to be no better choice than it.

Tonkotsu dandan noodles, the char siu was thick and big, the skin was soft and the meat was OK, because of the pepper, the thickness of the tonkotsu was not too disgusting, generally speaking, it was OK, and the difference was not obvious from some good ramen restaurants in the mainland. My favorite part of the whole meal was the dessert, grapefruit custard, with a thin layer of crispy crust on the outside (it should be chocolate, but the taste is not obvious), and a refreshing and tender cheese sauce inside, which is just the right density. You can taste the strong cheese flavor but not nauseating. With the biscuit crumbs, you can swallow it all no matter how full you are. Then have a glass of refreshing passion fruit soda, the three-course set is relatively good

Price: 200-300 per person

No.12 Gengji Dim Sum


The morning tea near Shiliupu is strictly speaking a tourist shop, but it is better than many domestic tea shops. Bottled milk tea, of course you have to drink it when you come to Macau, the tea tastes very strong with a little bitterness but not astringent at all, delicious. Vegetable seedling and scallop dumplings, it is so sweet when you bite it, the sweetness of vegetables plus the sweetness of scallops, it is so comfortable

This store seems to give a snack if you buy 100 in the afternoon, but it seems that the store chooses what to give. I drew a blind box, and I received a mugwort cake, which is not bad. The soft sweet cake is mixed with the fragrance of herbs. All the flavors are light but just right. Although it is a blind box, it is not sloppy. Typhoon Shelter Shrimp Dumplings. I have eaten a lot of shrimp dumplings, but I have never heard of Typhoon Shelter Shrimp Dumplings. The dough is amazing, very elastic and has a wok smell. A little bit of cornstarch and garlic flavor makes it super addictive.

Hawthorn crispy BBQ pork buns, hot steam comes out with every bite, and the crispness is OK. The hawthorn BBQ pork must first taste the sourness of the hawthorn. This one is absolutely good, and the delicate BBQ pork filling is perfect. Please learn from Cai Lan's tea restaurant, thank you. The bird's nest tart is not sweet at all as an egg tart, but other than that, it is delicious. The advantage of this restaurant is just the good location, which beats many restaurants in the mainland. I hope many restaurants can reflect on this.

Price: 50-100 per person

No.13 Golden Food


The not-so-popular online celebrity restaurant, Jin Meishi, added it to my favorites after taking a look at the menu. Can lard + large intestine + lo mein be wrong? Just looking at the appearance, it feels right, and it feels even right when you eat it. The clams are really fresh, the large intestine is full of flavor and the cooking time is great, and the alkaline noodles are crispy with the lard residue. It is extremely rich. It must be paired with their green peppers. The appetizer is so good that a bowl is finished in three minutes. Even the blanched lettuce is added with lard, and it is served with iced coffee. Although the combination is strange, the taste is fragrant and crispy.

Price: 30-50 per person

No.14 Honbo



The burger ranked first in Hong Kong by bloomburg has also opened its first branch outside Hong Kong in Macau. The layout is very similar to a stadium. I chose this honbo and the strongest local burger dino. This one is probably because the address is remote and there is no queue. The price is really close to Hong Kong. You can't order a set meal if you are not in the time period. I ordered a cup of apple juice, which is soaked with homemade dried apples and has a strong cinnamon flavor. It is optional. A bowl of full fries and rice, ordinary fries, and salty pasta sauce on top, which is also optional. The burger is not bad, the juice is the richest I have eaten so far, the oiliness is average, the meat is also average, but the satisfaction of eating with oily hands is absolutely qualified, the bread is also soft, and it is less creative than slowboat, but it is still okay.
Price: 100-200 per person
Address: Macau Lisboa H853 Shop F05 on the 1st floor of FUn Factory Entertainment Factory

No.15 Lanxiang Pavilion



It is also a very famous dim sum restaurant in the peninsula. I went there twice and met the local old man at the same table twice. If it is not fate, then it must be that he is a regular customer who comes every day. This restaurant is a representative of the cheap and good. Whether it is dim sum or a full meal, it is not expensive. The above 11 dishes plus a package of barbecued pork crisps cost more than 230 yuan. Isn’t it a bargain?

Yuntiao barbecued pork crisps, crispy and moderately hard, I won’t say much. What’s more amazing is that the tender and sweet barbecued pork inside has a rich soup when you bite it open. It is definitely a unique big signature

Shrimp dumplings, even the most ordinary shrimp dumplings are better than those in the north. It turns out that shrimp dumplings are so juicy. Although the skin is a little broken, the flaws do not cover the merits

Chicken feet, fresher than those in the north, the amount of soy sauce is also enough, or are all the ones I ate overnight?

Fen Guo, a Chaozhou dish? Even the most common dish on the table is still delicious, with a chewy texture. I can't remember the ingredients, but they are all chewy ingredients, not bad

Chicken feet, I was curious about what it was so I ordered one. It's a combination of chicken feet, beef tripe, mackerel cakes and potatoes. It's amazing that each dish keeps its original flavor. They are separated, but the potatoes at the bottom absorb all the freshness of the ingredients. It's not as edible as the others, but it's also delicious

Mala cake, something I usually don't order in the north. It's soft and tasteless, and it's better to eat steamed buns directly. But this one is very popular as soon as it's on the table. Everyone comes to see its beautiful pores. It feels chewy when you tear it lightly. The soft milk fragrance and simple flour fragrance are mixed together. I really want the chefs in the north to apologize to the Mala cake. Do they not want to make it well just because it's cheap? The advantages of tripe and siu mai are fresh ingredients, but the northern region is not much different, Mama dei

Pineapple sweet and sour pork rice, what I don’t like is the heavy coating, but the thickness of the coating is completely proportional to its crispness, and the meat is also very tender. Although there are some parts that I don’t like, I still have to give it a high score. Stuffed peppers with various flowers are usually stuffed with mackerel, sandwiched with some crispy and seasoning vegetables, with a prominent lemongrass flavor and steamed green peppers to a moderate degree, soft, glutinous, and delicious. The difference between vegetables and the northern region is the smallest, and the taste of seafood soy sauce is almost the same. A small portion of barbecued pork rice, with a more prominent fermented bean curd flavor, the barbecued pork with moderate fat and lean must be paired with white rice, the pleasure of meat with rice, needless to say

Price: 30-60 per person

No.16 The Story of De Zai
If you ask a Macau person to recommend a siu mei restaurant, there will probably be many. If you ask a Hong Kong person to recommend a siu mei restaurant in Macau, they will basically say this Tak Tsai Kee siu mei restaurant. There is one in Taipa and one in the Peninsula. There are not many tourists but it is packed after get off work. It is said that it was the apprentice of Fen Kee. So why is Fen Kee so bad but this one is so delicious?
  


Roasted Pork Belly and Soy Sauce Chicken Wings The roasted pork belly is leaner with crispy bones, and the fat is squeezed out very cleanly. It is just the right crunch when you put it in your mouth. Soy sauce chicken is most likely to be liked by northerners. It is not sweet, but completely salty. Hot milk tea does not have sugar. To be honest, it is better to order ice with sugar. This is more soulless. You can choose how to cook vegetables, but the price is the same. I ordered a baby cabbage. When I said that the baby cabbage must be served with soup, the waiter immediately showed a satisfied expression. I confirmed with his eyes that he is a person who knows how to eat.

People who like yellow peaches and sweet and sour pork will be ecstatic when they see this dish. It is just the right sweet and sour. The only thing they don’t like is that the flour is too thick. If you eat too much, you will feel sick. The only thing left on the table is this and rice. Roast suckling pig, more than 100 yuan per serving is not cheap, but you can’t buy it in the north. This fine bubble hole is right at first glance. Add some sauce with the tender suckling pig, and then a mouthful of rice, it is refreshing.

Price: 60-200 per person

No. 17 Lingji Hotel


Lingji in the camp market has almost no tourist shops. Why? Because the dining environment is not only bad, it is like eating in a garbage dump, but the roast suckling pig is innocent, it is tender and crispy when you bite it! The roasted spareribs give you the satisfaction of eating maltose, the meaty aroma mixed with the taste of syrup makes you feel guilty, but it is delicious.

What is a delicious barbecued pork? This is it. First of all, it must be tender. If it is not tender, how can you enjoy eating meat? The soy sauce chicken is very heavy, and it is delicious, but perhaps it is the worse dining environment that can keep the price down.

Price: 60-100 per person
