A Lorcha Comida Portuguesa or Restaurant A Lorcha as you have guessed by its name, is a portuguese restaurant in Macau. Conveniently located by A-Ma Temple and Maritime Museum, it is easy to find and you can even hop onto a bus to reach this restaurant. The restaurant has gone for a tavern-like interior which provides good ambience. This restaurant is one of the more popular portuguese restaurants in Macau and it would be advisable to either reach early or make a booking. This is because the restaurant's capacity is low and has probably close to 20 tables.

The dish recommended by the waiter was the clams in white wine and were quite well done. The seafood rice served here is drenched in seafood sauce and is something different to try. Also famous are the Bacalhau, dried cod fish and Galinha a Africana, grilled African Chicken. Also note that the servings here are quite big and the prices are considerably reasonable. Each dish should set you back between 50-80MOP.

Cafe Tai Lei Loi Kei is a cafe in Macau famous for its Pork Chop Buns. Apart from the Pork Chop bun, they do serve other snacks as well as drinks. However, you can never say that you have eaten here unless you have had their Pork Chop Buns. Extremely popular with both locals and foreigners(especially people from Hong Kong), the Pork Chop Buns usually start selling at around 3pm and tend to sell out before 5pm. Also, expect a queue for purchasing these buns.

The Pork Chop Buns served here have a crispy exterior and a juicy Pork Chop right in between the bun. I personally found the bun a bit on the tough side but it was still good overall. They also have new varieties like the Pork Chop Pinapple Bun and a few others but first timers definitely have to go for the original. The price for each bun should cost just over 10MOP.

Restaurant Yung Kee, located in Central Hong Kong is renowned for its Guangdong(also Cantonese or Hong Kong) cuisine and has won many awards locally and internationally. This 1-star (Michelin Guide) restaurant has a history of over 70 years and is still going strong, attracting huge crowds especially during lunch time. Although it has multiple floors, expect a waiting time of at least 10 minutes should you head there during peak times(Lunch and Dinner).

Yung Kee is most known for its Roast Goose, 燒鵝. The roast goose served here was indeed very tasty, with its honey glazed skin and rich tasting meat making it a real pleasure to have. Note that unlike other less well prepared roast goose dishes, the meat does not feel dry and is instead very juicy. Among other things, I also tried out the vegetables with preserved goose liver and meat. Albeit a little on the oily side, the dish was very fragrant and goes well with rice. The fried beef noodles(乾炒牛河 or dry-fried beef hor fun) was also quite well done but is not as well done as the other dishes that I have tried. Also, they do sell preserved meat and sausages at their restaurant.
