Seems I got food-luck! I randomly crashed into Hei Lin only to find out my good-food instinct is more accurate than a radar!In a nutshell, residents are blessed by having this cafe in their neighborhood, serving cheap and decent Portuguese influenced Macanese Cha Can Tan(budget restaurants in HK/Macau/Guangdong) gourmet---- Pork Crispy bun, stir-fried minced pork with potatoes and veggies are so nice. I did not try instant noodles, spaghetti and lou mien(noodles stirred with sauce), but I can se
The chefs here cook with heart; that's why the foods that are deemed not special at all at other cafés can become so delicious in Hei Lin.
GREAT: The pork with zhu-zai bun is hotly crispy because they baked it. Together with the well-seasoned salty pork piece, it's amazing. The pork is a little bit dry, not oily, while the tenderness is just right. GREAT: The minced beef with deep-fried potatoes and veggies are well-stirred together. The sun side up has its egg yolk raw, and it mixes perfectly with the ingredients. However, the potatoes are a bit bitter due to overly deep-fried, and its flavor almost covered that of the tender minced beef.
GOOD: Milk tea(15MOP for cold) The foods go well with what they call 'red tea with milk', but it's actually milk tea with no sugar. It's a little bit tannic, and Not silky smooth at all, but I do love it. NICE: Tomato-carrot diced beef macaroni uses authentic ingredients instead of rrady-made tomato paste. Beware of crushed cow bones.
Drinks are to be ordered a-la-carte. They have special drinks that cannot be seen in typical Cha Can Tans in Hong Kong. HK vs Macau Cha Can Tans: during my stay in Macau, it seems the cha can tans here are more health-conscious and they serve unique beverages that if you are in HK they can only be seen in higher-class cafés. The beverages are decent and cheap(10-25MOP).
I'm so lucky my friend lives at Rua Fernao Mendes Pinto (a street 5-8 minutes of walk from Old Taipa Village) so I can easily visit this restaurant, which is just beside the flat.
