WONG CHI KEI

First meal in Macau at the old style restaurant.  Was told they are famous for their shrimp roe noodles.  Queued for nearly half an hour to secure seats.  Serving was fast and very noisy environment to eat in.  They have a selection of noodles, dumplings and congee to choose from.


The noodles was good but a tad dry.  Dumplings were huge and juicy.  The soup accompanied the noodles was flavorful.


The pork chops bun was fabulous, tender meat stuffed in a crispy bun


Hugh slices of cuttlefish with vegetables in oyster sauce.  The cuttlefish was chewy with good bite.

SENG CHEONG CRAB PORRIDGE

We visited Macau last December and tried their famous crab porridge at Seng Cheong.  The eatery is situated at Taipa - Rua do Cunha or 官也街.   It was still early when we came so getting a place is not a problem  

According to the information pamphlet the porridge was cooked by boiling with 3 different types of crab : meat crab, roe crab and flower crab which resulted in very rich crab flavor

The porridge is very rich in flavor.  Crabs were soaked in the very smooth and fragrant porridge.  We gave our thumbs up.

We also ordered side dishes of soft shell crabs and stir fried lettuces in oyster sauce.  The crispy soft shell crabs go well with vinegar

After dinner a nice stroll back to the hotel.  Enchanting night scene along the way
