I really like going to Macau for the food. Although it is a small place, there is good food that you can't find in Hong Kong around every corner. Portuguese food for example is so rare in HK. I heard A Petisqueira is always busy, but my buddy and I arrived kinda late for lunch, at about 1400, so we had no problem getting in. Environment & Hygiene:The decor was kinda outdated and random; fake fruit hanging everywhere, animal head on the wall, red & white checked table clothes, what a classic! Ha
Environment & Hygiene:
The decor was kinda outdated and random; fake fruit hanging everywhere, animal head on the wall, red & white checked table clothes, what a classic! Ha. It was a homestyle restaurant I should say. Hygiene was okay.
Service:The servers were nice and friendly. They recommended some of their popular dishes to us.
Taste & Value:After ordering, some bread was brought to us. It was warm, and soft to the touch. Also, it was not a small portion for something that was free.
Next up was our Codfish Cakes ($40). This dish was surprisinly good. I find that cod balls are either tasteless or too salty, but these were just right! The fish gave it the saltiness it needed, and the mushy mashed potatoes gave it a nice smooth texture. An order had 3 of these delicious little cakes.
Last but not least, was our Spanish Paella ($14X). The Spanish paella and Portuguese paella were both one of their popular dishes, but we chose the Spanish one because the rice wouldn't be as wet as the Portuguese paella. This delicious paella was served in a steaming hot wok, with a decent amount of seafood in it. The rice was seasoned perfectly and was very flavourful. Did all of the yellow colouring come from saffron? or did they add in some tumeric powder, since whatever spice it was made our tongues slightly numb towards the end. Anyhow, this was a very good tasting paella!
Final Verdict:Both of us really liked the food, and were glad that we visited! It is definitely worth visiting. Also, we left with a full stomach and it only cost us each about $100.
