Here I come to Macau again for business trip. After attending an epic party last night in one of the hotel's opening, I was craving for some hungover food. I walked around downtown and found everywhere jam packed. I have decided to stop by a random local Macau restaurant "On Kei" The two-storey restaurant was really welcoming for tourists. Located just in between some of the most popular curry stalls in town. It was not too crowded inside and it took us no time to get a nice seat with air-con. P
The two-storey restaurant was really welcoming for tourists. Located just in between some of the most popular curry stalls in town. It was not too crowded inside and it took us no time to get a nice seat with air-con. Pork Chop Bun ($14)
We have ordered the infamous pork chop bun. The bun was not the crispy type, it was in fact soft and hot, while the pork shop was deep fried with a light coated of batter.
Some people said the bun should be very crispy as well as the fillet but for me, this semi-soft sandwich is perfect for my liking since I am not a fan of crunchy food. (My mouth got cut easily with crunchy objects)
It was freshly made and the taste was amazing from the thick cut pork. The bread and meat ratio was good to me. Needing no sauce, I would come back again to try more! Pig Feet Red Bean Rice Lunch Set ($35)
Since I am already adapted to the inflated rate of everything in Hong Kong, I found things are quite affordable in Macau nowadays. Having a tasty and meaty lunch set for $35 is almost impossible in Hong Kong especially in Island district.
I would like to highlight the very unique flavour of this dish. The combination of red bean and pig feet is not common from what I usually eat, but interestingly matching with each other. The plate wasn't overpowered with the sauce and the taste was surprisingly like light stew.
The pig feet was super soft it almost melted in my mouth, complemented innovatively with some well-cooked mushy beans. The taste was not too salty at all! It was instead light but gelatin-ie from the collogan of the pig feet. The serving portion was also generous and we two ladies could hardly finish the whole plate. Overall, I would recommend any tourist to come to this restaurant. It is affordable, it is located in the heart of Macau. It is easy to find. The enviornment is spacious and clean. Although the staff wasn't too friendly or helpful, but you can still get to taste some somewhat local food that is totally different from what we have in Hong Kong.
