益記小館 (中環)

This is a great spot for lunch if you work around central area. The wait is not too bad and the food comes out fast! It's fast food speed but the food is definitely up to par. I love the lunch set that comes with a bowl of laksa along with a plate of hainan chicken rice.The laksa is full of flavors and definitely have enough ingredients to keep you away from eating only plain vermicelli. I also like the soup which is not too salty. The hainan chicken is the best! It's tender and not chewy at all! I also like the authentic dipping sauces for the chicken. Will definitely come back for more lunch meals!

Elephant Grounds (上環)

The must try item at elephant grounds for me is probably that amazing salted caramel ice cream sandwich! It's only available on weekends with limited quantity for now. So go early! The cookies outside are super crunchy chocolate chip cookies and then it's paired with salted caramel ice cream. The ice cream is so smooth it will not be hard to finish a whole one by yourself. I also love the small bag of sea salt it comes with for you to sprinkle on top of the ice cream sandwich. The only thing though is the salt is hard to pour out when it's attached to the ice cream sandwich wrap. Other than that, the sandwich is pretty AMAZING! 

單品 (荷蘭園)

Can't live a day without coffee, not even when in Macau! Found good reviews about this place and ended up paying a visit. 

A very tiny coffee shop but it's fill with lots of coffee related decoration that will keep any coffee lovers occupied. 


The baristas there are very helpful and extremely friendly. I asked what he recommends from the shop and he suggested I try their ice dripped coffee. The coffee bean of the day for the ice drip is tchembe from the USA. This bean is very limited. As my drink came out, the barista will give a brief description of the drink and how to enjoy it best. He said the coffee will taste strong at first but as the ice ball melts, it will change in taste. The coffee is not bitter at all but rather flowery and a bit sour. Very refreshing drink for a hot day. Also, love the water cup that comes with it to help you cleanse your palette between sips to get the best taste of the coffee. I also had the earl grey chiffon cake which was delicious as well! The cake was moist and soft. The earl grey tea flavor is also very pleasant! 


Another delicious drink I ordered was the affagato. A creamy shot of espresso poured over a scoop of vanilla ice cream. The shot was so smooth and creamy that it's not bitter to drink by itself at all! But having that scoop of ice cream to go along was a cherry on top! 

Overall, enjoyed this place a lot! Will come back whenever I'm in Macau!

HABITŪ table (中環)

I never knew caffe habitu-the table would have to go coffee as well. On top of that, they are also doing a drink promotion every Monday. This week is buy one get one free on their earl grey latte. So for the price of $45, you get two! I've never had anything else from their drink menu except for the rose latte. Since the deal was so good, I gave it a try. The latte has very strong earl grey tea flavor and the tea was very good quality since it wasnt bitter at all. The only down side to this drink is probably if you are a regular coffee drinker like me, I prefer a stronger coffee taste in my drinks. This earl grey latte doesn't do that for me. It's more like just a plain tea latte rather than having coffee in it. Overall, it's a yummy drink! I would need to take more advantage of the "surprise monday" special to try out their other drinks!

沾仔記 (中環)

If you want a quick simple bowl of noodle, tsim cha kee is not a bad choice. I love how the place is clean compare to similar Chinese noodle shops. The menu is simple, there's only three choices for toppings (shrimp wonton, fishball, beef) and four types of noodles (egg noodle, vermicelli, flat noodles, rice noodle)  to choose from. Then there's veggies with oyster sauce and couple of sodas and tea to choose from as well. 



The bowl is not too big, but the noodle really fills to the top. The broth itself is not too salty but has rich enough flavor to make the whole bowl of noodle not bland too bland. The shrimp wonton has huge whole shrimps in it so it's crunchy and fresh. The wonton wrapping is so thin that I think my bowl was cooked a little too long so it was falling off. Other than that, the flavor of the wonton is delicious! The fish balls were amazing though. They are not your typical round shaped fishballs. It's fried lightly and then cooked in noodle soup before it's served. I think the wontons and fish balls are must get here!
