7Days Inn Zhuhai North Railway Station Jinding

Part of the Macao University of Tourism, this restaurant was set up to train the future talents of Macau’s hospitality industry. The menu features European and Macanese dishes using herbs from their own garden; to sample local flavours, check out the Macanese menu's specialitie, such as galinha à portuguesa, and assorted Macanese starters. Macanese semi-buffet is offered at Saturday lunch. Oenophiles should check the wine list, which features a nice selection of Portuguese labels.

This busy shop next to the Chun Lei pier still kneads the noodles with a bamboo pole like in bygone days. The owner’s wife then cooks them perfectly, thus explaining their bouncy texture. The broth simmered with an array of seasonal fish boasts depth and sweetness. Dried prawn roe sprinkled on tossed noodles is toasted by the owner himself, imparting umami and aroma. Also try the crab congee and deep-fried wontons with crispy dace balls.

The chef rolls out a neo-French score with unorthodox ingredients from around the world, such as marble goby confit in a herb butter that is stuffed with mashed potato and topped with caviar. Beads of tangy champagne sauce are piped around the fish to cut through the richness. To experience the chef’s artistry and creativity, order the 6-course tasting menu; even better with the well-curated wine pairing. Certain items need pre-ordering.
