Can’t travel,so let’s eat!

by
Normally in the summer months,  Macau people love to get out of the city, travelling to nearby destinations like Thailand, Japan and South Korea, or returning home during the school holidays to places like Mainland China, Portugal, the Phillipines, the UK, US, Canada and Australia.  But as we all know, international holidays are just not possible in 2020, and so the next best thing is to simply eat lots of delicious food from all around the world. And fortunately, that's very easy to do here in Macau.  After months of lockdown and social distancing, we have all been enjoying dining out recently, and local restaurants have been benefitting from having a 'captive audience' too. So this issue, we've found six great local restaurants serving a variety of international cuisine.  Some are new, some are well established.  Some are very popular, some are less well known. But all have delicious, authentic offerings and great value deals!   Read about them now, and go and taste them soon! 
 
 
 
 
As a family-owned Cantonese restaurant, Lei Hong Kei Restaurant has witnessed the transformation of Macau from a quiet village to a global tourist city over a span of nearly seven-decades, creating many fond memories for generations of locals.
 
 
 
 
Situated in Toi San in the north of the city, a cozy restaurant named Tsutori gives off a very authentic Japanese vibe. Its entrance is designed as a traditional Japanese torii which is a gate structure (literally 'bird perch') found in Japanese Shinto shrines. To enhance the mood further, sitting in the centre of the restaurant is an enormous Japanese-style wall painting of a fox, which is said to be the guardian of the ‘torii’.
 
 
 
 
Famously, local Macanese food is a fusion of gastronomic influences from all along the old Portuguese trading routes. And one of the stops along those routes was the city of Goa in India.  
 
 
 
 
When choosing the name and designing the logo for their restaurant, the owners of Paper Moon included a paper plane to represent the fact that locals can enjoy authentic Thai food without actually travelling to Thailand.  And given the situation we find ourselves in in 2020, that’s a very good thing!  
 
 
 
 
Living in Macau, we are spoiled for choice, with so many great Portuguese restaurants offering a wide range of delicious, authentic flavours.  So you might think that we really don’t need even more Portuguese restaurants because all the important dishes are already available, right?  Well, according to the talented young chefs at Three Sardines, you would be wrong.
 
 
 
 
Local restaurants all seem to be quite full these days, but amidst the busyness of Macau’s dining scene, one Taipa restaurant offers its customers the chance to cleanse their bodies and find peace of mind with healthy food and a serene, natural environment – Sum Yuen Buddhist vegetarian restaurant nestled under the roof of Pou Tai Temple.
