On the open end of the road leading to the Temple, there were two rivaling Portguese restaurants. One with raving reviews over their food for a long time and the other has more raving reviews over their food. Little did I realized that on the other side of the road lies another joint, smaller coffee joint that sells more than coffee. I've heard from guidebooks about its Porkchop Buns, and this day I arrived here for a tryout.I started the day with porkchops, so me and my party of 3 shared the Po
I started the day with porkchops, so me and my party of 3 shared the Portugese sausage bun ($13), and the Sardines Bun ($13). The Portugese sausage one was simply pan-fried Portugese sausages (4 slices) stuffed into a perfect Portugese roll. Fresh throughout, bread has never failed me in Macau, despite disappointments in the filling everywhere else. The Portugese sausage turned out to be less seasoned than the Spanish Chorizo. The bun with sardines, however consisted of a sardines filling made out-of-a-can, mashed up sardines smeared and spread onto a toasted bun. It's something I would consider making at home past midnight or late-afternoon for quick snack, not something I would order from a restaurant...But anyways, like I said earlier, the buns never failed me. This one, despite the filling, tasted fine as it is.
Next we ordered two rice dish, just to fill up before our journey commenced. The oxtail with rice ($30) tasted fine with slow-cooked oxtail and plenty of tomato-based sauce. The flavours were safe with no surprises. It tasted like non-complicated one-pot meal, and it's good that way. The Brisket with curry ($30) was on the other hand, fiery with spicy notes, and plenty of red chilies fished out from the sauce. The potato chunks were cooked down to a mash that thickened the sauce and the brisket pieces were soft and yielded to the bite. I wouldn't consider it a very good curry but the heat certainly got me on the surprise note!.
We didn't have coffee, at the end, thinking that this joint must be well rounded enough for all the tables not ordering coffee. There is one entire page of coffees to choose from but somehow nobody was ordering any...By the time we left the restaurant was more than half full, and no coffees. Everyone with their orders of rice and sandwiches...Perhaps I'll have the coffee next time.
