Macau is quite small so going around may not be expensive especialy if you take advantage of the free shuttle buses. This leaves the tourists some money to spend on delectable food offered in Macau.
From what I have gathered from the internet, Macau is famous for various cuisines such as Chinese, Macanese, Portuguese, Japanese, Thai, Korean, Indian, Western, and many more.
“...a fine selection of coffee shops in Portuguese, Italian, and American style (especially around Travessa de S. Domingos and Rua Pedro Jose Lobo, in the city center, and Rua de Nagasaki). They offer a wide variety of superior blends in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. They also sell delicious pastries—not to be missed are Macau’s version of the traditional Portuguese egg tart, or pastel de nata, and coconut cake. Also available are soft drinks, juices, and cocktails.”
“...find good Portuguese restaurants close to the A-Ma Temple along Rua do Almirante Sergio, in the city centre on Rua Central and Travessa de S. Domingos, and in the NAPE area near the Kun Lam Statue. On the islands, there are many excellent Portuguese restaurants: on Rua do Cunha and Rua Fernando Mendes (in Taipa) and on Hac-Sa beach and Coloane Village.”
Portuguese food: Caldo Verde (green vegetable soup), ameijoas (clams), chourico (Portuguese sausage), Cozido a Portuguesa, Carne de Porco a Alentejana, sardinhas assadas (sardines), Bacalhau a Gomes de Sa (codfish with egg and onions), Bacalhau com Natas (codfish with cream), Bacalhau Assado (grilled codfish), desserts (serradura, barrigas de freira, papos deanjo, toucinho do ceu, doce de ovos).
“Chinese...for seafood we suggest you go to Rua do Almirante Sergio and Rua das Lorchas along the Inner Harbour where the morning’s catch is served in restaurants that often have outdoor and indoor dining sections. If you’re in Macau during the winter time try Ta Pin Nou, a Chinese version of fondu with a huge variety of different seafood, meats, and vegetables that are boiled in a tureen on the clients’ table. For general Cantonese food try the NAPE area, and city centre (Avenida da Praia Grande, Avenida Infante D. Henrique, etc.).”
“Chinese...favorites: sharks’ fin soup, sweet and sour pork, fried chicken, meat with vegetables, steamed fish, bean curd or tofu prepared in several ways, Peking duck and Beggar’s Chicken. Try different kinds of noodles, which are called “fitas” in Macau, and rice. For more exotic dishes take a look and maybe try the restaurants in Rua da Felicidade (parallel to the main street Avenida de Almeida Ribeiro) where snakes, frogs, eels, seafood and fish—many of them alive—are on display in tanks in the windows.”
“Dim Sum...a meal which is served from dawn in many big and small Chinese restaurants and it lasts till about midday. This is an opportunity for friends and family to get together around the table to chat as well as eat, which is why it is often called simply “Yam Tcha” which means literally “drink tea”). Here only small amounts of food are served, in small round bamboo baskets or in porcelain plates, which are circulated around the restaurant in trolleys. If you want to order, all you have to do is to stop the trolley and choose. Part of the fun of this meal lies in the variety of smells, tastes, sizes and ways of cooking. Here are the names of some Dim Sum favourites: Ha Kau (steamed dumplings filled with shrimp), Shiu Mai (steamed dumplings stuffed with pork and shrimp), Tsun Guen (shrimp fried rolls, stuffed with pork, chicken, mushrooms, bamboo sprouts and beans), Char Siu Pau (steamed buns stuffed with pork), Ngau lok (little beef balls seasoned with ginger), Tsau min (fried noodles) and Tsau fan (fried rice). Dim Sum is accompanied by tea, usually jasmine tea (Heong pin t’cha) or red tea (Pou lei).
“Over the centuries Macau developed a unique cuisine that combined elements of Portuguese, Chinese, Indian, and even Malay cooking. Known as Macanese cuisine, it is served in restaurants along Rua Almirante Sergio, on the Praia Grande, in the NAPE and on Taipa. Among the most popular dishes are African Chicken (grilled in piri piri peppers), Tacho (a hearty stew of Chinese vegetables and different meats), Galinha Portuguesa (chicken cooked in the oven together with potatoes, onions, egg, and saffron), Minchi (minced beef with fried potatoes, soy, onions, and a fried egg), Linguado Macau (Macau sole fried and usually served with green salad) and Porco balichao (Balichao pork). For dessert try Jagra de ovos (sweet egg tart).”
