In Taipa

The first signs of Portuguese culture are
the old street signs in white tiles. They
all have their names in Portuguese and
Chinese. A very charming place to visit
is Taipa Village , which is not even 10
minutes away from Grand Hyatt.
Heading directly to Taipa House
Museums at Avenida da Praia, you will
find these five beautiful houses that
combine Chinese and Portuguese
architecture. The interior of these
houses are filled with similar cultural
merge of colonial Portuguese and
Chinese furniture. Enjoy a pleasant
view of the Cotai complex and the
colossal Venetian Casino. Antonio
Restaurant is a Michelin recommended
restaurant where you can indulge in a
delicious and entertaining dinner.
Flavorful sardines, seafood stew and
clams are a must in this cozy
restaurant. There are beautiful walls
decorated with Portuguese blue
ceramics (azulejo-tile) distinguishing it
with charm. The Portuguese “Azul”

Taipa Village
Portuguese blue and white tile street signs in Macau
means blue. The owner is proud to showcase his signature high-flamed (I
mean very high!) dessert Crepe Suzzette. In special occasions, he can also
invite you to help him open a bottle of champagne or sparkling wine with a
Samurai sword. Make sure to look at your hands afterwards and check if five
fingers are still there. The home-style restaurant Espaco Lisboa in Coloane
Island also makes the trip worth it. It offers a variety of Bacalhau, Clams and
Pork dishes that became a tradition for food tasting in Macau . Don’t forget
to try the “pastel de nata” for dessert and great wines.
Cooking and Eating

It is not necessary to wear an apron
for a cooking class at “O Porto
Interior”, but it is imperative to keep
the eyes wide open to follow the chef’s
moves. Watching the preparation of
the popular dessert “serradura,”
topped with crushed Maria biscuits
opens the appetite for main courses.
The restaurant offers authentic
Macanese dishes, which combine
Portuguese, Chinese and African
flavors. This colonial two-floor
restaurant is located nearby A-Ma
Temple (the oldest Buddhist Temple in
Macau) and is decorated with red color
details (red represents fortune and
joy). There you can try the famous
“giant devil prawns,” typical Macanese
seafood rice and the stylish chicken
curry. And of course, “serradura” for
dessert is a must.
