This is the restaurant we ate at the first night on
Macau. It was fantastic. I love Portuguese and Chinese food, and
Macanese food is basically Portuguese mixed with Chinese. Many of the restaurants have English menus and I can figure out Portuguese from my Spanish. We had a fantastic dish here- it was called Duck Rice,
Macanese Style. We like duck, we like rice, so we tried it. It was seriously fantastic, cooked in some kind of rich gravy. Gen liked it so much he wanted to see if we could duplicate the recipe. After much online research, I found out that the "gravy" is made of duck's blood.
Ewww. But it was good. But I would never have ordered it if I had known what was in it. Ah, the conundrum. Needless to say, we will not be attempting to make Duck Rice,
Macanese Style any time soon.
These are just some of the pretty buildings near
Leal Senado, the old town square. I like the colors.
The streets are lined with shops and some restaurants. A delicious snack we discovered by accident was the pork bun (sometimes spelled pork bum-
hee hee). It's just a small pork chop cooked with onions on a Portuguese roll. Portuguese bread is the best.
This is a church in the
Leal Senado. It is very Mediterranean style, lots of bright colors, even inside.
Most of the buildings were yellow and white, but there were a few bright blue and red, as well.
I think this picture is funny. Look at the white sign at the top- Medicine No Fakes. Ha! This is the street leading from the ruins of St. Paul's down to the
Leal Senado.
