Let’s make a list first, all the eating and drinking items on this trip! For me, it must be an unprecedented richness, and I don’t even think modestly that there is no one except gluttons.
Various forms of breakfast
In the past, when I went out, the hotel with breakfast, although it was only the usual mode of buffet, I was amazed by just one or two local special snacks, such as Kunming's Guoqiao rice noodles and Putian's Xinghua soup powder. But in most of my trips, breakfast is almost negligible, both in terms of cost and impression. This trip to Hong Kong and Macau, because of the delicious travel companions, made the breakfast very popular.
Let me talk about the simplest one first, which is consistent with my style: buy bread the night before, and in the morning, tea or coffee in the hotel will do, saving time and money. This trip really lasted for three days. In Macau, I saw Miyazaki bread everywhere. There is a small door next to Sintra. I saw it at night and looked for it in the morning. It was gone. I went to a few more shops and looked back. It turned out that Set in another shop of a different trade and neglected. Using WeChat to pay through Sintra's network is a bit slow, but the clerk is very patient and keeps boasting: My mother can't even use it. In Macau, merchants who use WeChat are all merchants with code-scanning machines, unlike in mainland China, where most people use their mobile phones to scan the other party’s code to pay. I bought bread in Hong Kong because I saw a sign written in a shop: After five o’clock, buy two and get one free. We took six, and the clerk took the initiative to put the most expensive three together for a discount. I don’t understand mathematics at all. My sister, who studies science, was quite impressed. She said: We will definitely give you the cheapest two for free. According to my taste, regardless of Hong Kong and Macau, I really like bread. It smells like wheat instead of milk. Maybe the mainland people think that milk taste is high-end, but for me who doesn’t drink milk, this is the most troublesome point. So I was particularly moved by the Hong Kong and Macau bread without this flavor. The third time I bought bread for breakfast, and I also had breakfast at the Kowloon restaurant, and found that the bread met my requirements. However, both breakfast bakeries only accept cash.
(The canopy protruding from the end of the building with Ma Tongling on the wall belongs to Margaret Egg Tart Shop, which will set up a few tables for diners when it is open.)
In Macau, apart from the pineapple buns bought by Miyazaki, the Margaret Egg Tart is also very famous. After I found it, I found out that the community has become several buildings. On the first day, I got up early and left, and the door was not opened yet. The second day was late on purpose, but the door was opened, but the shop assistants were very impatient when we asked what payment methods were available. I originally wanted to have breakfast at his house, but I gave up in a fit of anger, so it was a rare time like in the mainland, I turned into an unnamed small shop on the street to have breakfast. The aunt's service feels down-to-earth, but Margaret is well-known, and the decoration is neat, but it is too cold and repulsive. Both, however, only accept cash.
Compared with the smoke and fire on the Macau Peninsula, in Cotai City, the hotel is next to the hotel, and there is no living area for the locals, so breakfast can only be settled in the hotel. Fortunately, every hotel has a food court, a food court, food street. Compared with other hotels, the Parisian Hotel does not have many food stalls, but there are still a few flavors. You can choose to stay for two or three nights, and you can pay in a variety of stores. Most of them only accept cash here, because I have both Hong Kong and Macau. The currency was put in a bag, and I couldn’t recognize it. The clerk pointed to the Hong Kong dollar and said, this is more valuable, but we charge one-to-one, and RMB is more valuable, but it is also one-to-one. She took the initiative to choose the MOP, but she didn't care to give me the Hong Kong dollar coins one by one as MOP when I gave the change.
The Kowloon restaurant in Hong Kong is what we must pass when we leave the hotel and go to the main road. The main entrance faces the main street, and the side windows line the small street we pass by. It is full of diners and busy people in the early morning The waiter is very attractive, so I chose this place for the first Hong Kong breakfast, because I need to change some change for the car, so I didn't ask if I can use other payment methods, just use cash. Meals are basically a set of various combinations, such as noodles, noodles + coffee, milk tea + meal bag + eggs, etc., you can choose one of each or one less, which is convenient and rich, but I forgot I said that the coffee does not have milk, and I should add milk and sugar by myself. As a result, what was delivered here was a cup of coffee with milk. It happened that the soup set meal chosen by my mother did not have a drink, so I gave it to her. I mentioned it a few days later. It is delicious, and the milk tea chosen by my brother-in-law is also unforgettable.
The two most solemn breakfasts in this trip are one in Macau and one in Hong Kong. The former is the hotel buffet on the last day. On the first day of staying at Sintra, I saw an advertisement in the store. Buy one get one free for the breakfast buffet. I was about to leave soon. I still had a lot of MOP, so I decided to use it for breakfast. In fact, the hotel should accept credit cards. of. 130 yuan per person should not be cheap, but it is worth it for two people. A buffet breakfast with everything you need is not bad. You can eat one round of vegetables, one round of fruit, bread, snacks, coffee, porridge, anyway. The key is to fly to Hong Kong at 12:00 noon. Think about it, 260 MOP is more expensive than a formal morning tea at Fengcheng Restaurant in Hong Kong. Fengcheng morning tea is one of my sister's friends' itinerary last year. It is not far from Nanyang Hotel. I specially set aside time to taste it in the morning of the last day.
On the G floor of a building (the first floor is really the second floor in Hong Kong, I remember the teacher said when I was learning English when I was a child), the day we went was a weekday, and there was no one in front of a thin old lady at the big table next door. The same snacks, but holding a newspaper and reading slowly. The waiters are all women over the age of 30. After ordering, they greet the guests who come in from time to time. It is not a performance of shouting in unison, but a reunion of acquaintances. An old man staggered in, and the person at the cashier yelled, and a waiter inside went to a corner and brought out a stack of newspapers, and the old man tidied it up on an empty table, and dragged it in by himself. on the grocery shopping cart. A tall young man came in, wearing a tie, and went straight to the table of the old lady next door. The old lady waved her hand, and the young man nodded, saying hello in Cantonese. The young man put down his bag and left. The old man continued to read the newspaper. The waiter brought some food to each of us. If the old man ordered before we sat down, what about the young man? Does the waiter know that he eats this every day? Soon the young man was wiping his hands and sitting back at the table. Maybe he told the waiter on the way to the bathroom? The old and young at the next table chatted while eating, not talking much, you come and I can only exchange a few or eight sentences, the young people eat hurriedly, and the old lady read slowly. Diners come in from time to time outside the door, and there are several groups of young people who come in after pinching their mobile phones, men and women, dressed casually. It is unclear whether it is the boring Taibao girls in the market, or the company's creative conference. To be honest, I really don’t care what I eat. It’s nothing more than spring rolls, radish cakes, river noodles, shrimp dumplings, preserved egg and lean meat porridge, etc., but the people and customs are more attractive. When paying, I asked if I can use a credit card ( After many days in Hong Kong, I know that there is no market for Alipay and WeChat)? The cashier glanced at the list: more than 150 yuan, it's ok.
Beverage Dessert Afternoon Tea
Maybe it's because the south is humid. According to my habit, I can't finish drinking the water I recite every day. In Beijing, my mother drinks many glasses of water a day. Note that the streets are not like the summer in Beijing. Everyone is holding a bottle of water, including mineral water, fruit juice, soda, oolong tea, etc. There are all kinds of things. Is it really because of the climate?
Compared with the stalls selling water everywhere in Beijing, there are really not many water stalls here. However, coffee shops with air conditioning and seats are often encountered, not only near scenic spots or office buildings, but also on the street. There will be one not far away, and this is also felt in Taiwan. Personally, I think drinking coffee is still relatively expensive. Perhaps the reason why Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan are more popular is because it is cheaper; and I can’t taste good or bad, so it’s not worth it, or people here drink a lot of it for a long time. More experience is more dependent.
When we were walking around the St. Paul’s, we suddenly encountered a burst of rain. The rain in the south was said to be falling very quickly. In an instant, all the people on the long slope disappeared. We also rushed into a coffee shop, which was half underground. It was about the same as the According to the terrain, not only can we pay with WeChat, but also scan the QR code of the red envelope, so we paid separately, and each scanned a red envelope of five or six yuan. This coffee shop called Pacific Ocean was later encountered on other streets, but near the Church of Our Lady of Hope, I went to see the St. Vickey Cemetery, and my mother and the others found a coffee shop called TOM&TOM's COFFEE. When I hurriedly searched in from the sun, I found that this side was dark and cool, and I suddenly understood: resting and drinking for another quarter of an hour, of course, I no longer need to hold water when I am on the road.
I wandered along the route of the World Heritage Site, and finally found no herbal tea shop in the small street, which made me very regretful. Guangdong herbal tea used to be very famous. I saw herbal tea in Shaoguan in northern Guangdong in 2002 and Hong Kong in 2009. Everyone Some have a front door, and the smaller ones set up a stall, but there are more than 70 or 80 kinds of herbal teas. It is really the kind of black Chinese medicine-like soup, but they are all drunk by young people, but they are for business. All are seniors. Now there are no more, maybe the sanitary conditions are not up to standard? I haven’t heard of young people suggesting reservations for this matter. It seems that heritage is still more tangible, and not so many people care about intangible cultural heritage, including Hong Kong youth who are very yelling.
It can be similar to the tribute tea seen in Macau. There is a counter on the street. We stand on the side of the street to choose, and the salesperson processes it inside. It is filled in a plastic cup and then sealed. Drink it with a straw. The variety no longer has the name of the traditional Chinese medicine. Most of them are fruit names, so I think apart from hygiene, it has something to do with the principles of drug management. It is still WeChat payment. According to statistics, there are a total of 20 payments in Macau. In addition to cash and credit cards, WeChat is 9, compared with Alipay’s 2, and the number is better than that of Alipay. The coverage ranges from old famous stores like Foxiaolou to small ones on the street. Tea stalls and bakeries are also winning.
Congsao’s desserts in Hong Kong are pre-designed because my sister’s colleagues recommended them. They went to the Wan Chai store. They came back from the rain in Stanley. I wondered if I wanted to go that far. I searched on Baidu and Yaohua Street was there, just a few steps away. . The front door is not big, the seats are very tight, and the price of each item is around 30, but it is really lively. In addition to the coffee shop, the dessert shop is also a good place for Hong Kong people to stop and rest and replenish energy.
(The shop name given by Andy Lau hangs in the shop)
I am a person who loves sweets, but I always search for snacks, dessert shops? I really don't have this habit, don't you have it in Beijing? My sister mentioned a few names, most of which were imported from Hong Kong and Taiwan in recent years. The things are quite expensive, but the key is that the food forms are not familiar: stewed red dates and lotus seed egg tea, stewed pear with Chuanbei round meat, mango pan halberd, sesame walnut dew (Written as "walnut", I don't know if it has a special meaning), black glutinous rice with mango in coconut milk. I didn’t have the relaxing feeling of sitting in a dessert shop. I finished my food in a few bites. I took a list and asked me to say the whole name. Accepting cash (Hong Kong dollars) is a bit disingenuous. There are so many recommendations from mainland China, Alipay and WeChat are not acceptable, and cash is also bracketed in Hong Kong dollars.
Another notice is more interesting, specifically marked change (1 cent, 2 cents, 5 cents) and large amounts (1,000 cents) will not be accepted. In mainland China, I haven’t seen anyone who dares to write it out. Most of them will say that they can’t find it and let the customer change it by themselves. Many people complain: the service is not in place, the difficulty should not be pushed to the customer, and even the attitude towards RMB question. Some people give examples of foreign countries (actually referring to places other than mainland China). When they first arrived in Hong Kong, they made it clear that customers must pay the appropriate denomination!
The most grand afternoon tea, I enjoyed it just after arriving in Macau. My sister and colleagues originally recommended to go to Lai Heen on the 51st floor of the Ritz-Carlton Hotel, but we had to walk a long way to the hotel, so we decided to have afternoon tea at the Parisian French restaurant Brasserie Tea. About Brasserie, copy a section of Wikipedia: In France and the Francophone world, a brasserie is a type of French restaurant with a relaxed setting, which serves single dishes and other meals. The word brasserie is also French for "brewery" and, by extension , "the brewing business". A brasserie can be expected to have professional service, printed menus, and, traditionally, white linen—unlike a bistro which may have none of these. Typically, a brasserie is open every day of the week and serves the same menu all day. A classic brasserie dish is steak frites.
We saw it on the tea list at the door. There is a set of sets here. There is no choice. There is indeed a large plate of various frozen meats (I didn’t expect it to be a feature at the time), but meat eaters are very happy to see it. But the waiter poured cold water: you can't eat it, it's all cold. So we chose afternoon tea. The food for two people looks like a lot from the name. In fact, the food is very small. Let’s put it this way, it’s called "exquisite". We have small bellies, and we have two diabetics. And the edge of diabetes, besides, some things are not used to eating, a large plate is enough.
I took a picture of the printed menus. The name of the dim sum is so long that I don’t know where to break the sentence. The foreign menu just lists the ingredients one by one. With a cultured name, "Kung Pao Chicken" and "Sister Song Fish Soup" are also good. This "Hazelnut protein cake, tempered milk chocolate, milk chocolate Chantilly cream, chocolate crunch, milk chocolate ganache" What is it, a piece of dim sum or several kinds, and it doesn't match up after eating all of them. According to my mother, the tortoise eats barley, which is similar to the meaning of "Zhu Bajie eats ginseng fruit".
(The hot chocolate soft heart cake that came up at the end is still recognizable.)
Preset dinner
In any case, the "grade" of eating depends on the main meal, and when choosing a restaurant in Hong Kong and Macau, many people choose Michelin based on Michelin, which is the Michelin star that is yearned for in the mainland, because there is no such thing (I heard that Shanghai now has reviews), We finally arrived at some places, and naturally we couldn’t let them go, so we also had a few in our arrangement: Yung Kee, Ho Hung Kee, Yidian Sum, Taihu Seafood City in Hong Kong, and later in Macau, we accidentally encountered a Taohuayuan Kitchen. This is a general term for Michelin. Except for Ho Hung Kee who awarded one star in previous years and Taohuayuan Kitchen who received one star in 2018, all others are recommended (whether Yung Kee has a star is doubtful).
What is a referral? Seen from the Internet: Since 1955, the Michelin Guide has recommended many restaurants with popular prices but high-quality food through the corporate logo "Car Tire Man" Bibendum. These restaurants present a three-course set meal consisting of a starter, main course and dessert within a fixed price range (e.g. EUR 36 in European cities, USD 40 in US cities, HKD 300 in Hong Kong, and JPY 5,000 in Tokyo). Specific to Hong Kong, the restaurant that won the Michelin Food Recommendation fully demonstrates the characteristics of Cantonese cuisine and the diversity of local food culture, so that diners can taste high-quality stir-fry, porridge noodles and dim sum at attractive prices.
In the plan, it is necessary to ensure that there is a regular meal with different characteristics recognized by everyone every day. Of course, more than half are copied from the Hong Kong and Macau food tours of my sister and colleagues: Huang Zhi Ji in Macau, Yung Kee, Ho Hong Kee in Hong Kong, Taihu Seafood City, etc. , referring to the Internet by myself, and arranged for Macau’s Buddha’s Smile Restaurant (it is said to be the first Portuguese cuisine in Macau, with a history of more than 100 years), and Dalilai (pork chop bun, no travel note does not mention it); A dim sum in Hong Kong (one of the reasons to choose Crystal Bus Tour).
(a snack on the crystal bus)
Checking the characteristics, checking the address, and then assigning them to our itinerary, this process once again proved that I really don’t like food—I worked all morning, and I was so disgusted that I didn’t even eat lunch. Food is indeed a burden for me. In particular, the preset restaurants in the daily itinerary are marked in red, which is convenient for foodies to see at a glance. "Why is there only one meal?" I had to explain: it is possible to catch a car, boat, or plane, and it is possible to meet an interesting restaurant. Of course, will people want to make a reservation? Finally passed. In practice, the one-meal-a-day plan obviously couldn’t meet the requirements, so there were restaurants I found on the spur of the moment, in various situations:
On the map of the Sands Group, I saw a restaurant with the name of my sister and husband. It happened to be their wedding anniversary, so I went to "Changman". I entered a restaurant across the door; on the way from Guia Mountain to Our Lady of Hope Church, I came across a fast food restaurant on a very small street, and I didn’t even remember the name; I wanted to find a restaurant in Grand Lisboa, and turned to I was dizzy and was guided by someone to meet Taohuayuan Kitchen; climbed to the top of Hong Kong and overlooked Victoria Bay and tasted Forrest Gump shrimp; the plane back to Beijing was delayed again and again by air traffic control, so I had to settle for lunch on the spot and chose "Zhengdou". It is also a famous Hong Kong-style dim sum shop. The ratio of pre-elevation to current search is 7:6, half and half, travel is always full of uncertainty.
(What is the English name of Changman Restaurant?)
Yung Kee, in fact, it doesn’t matter whether you have Michelin endorsement or not, it has pictures of well-known Hong Kong bigwigs from all walks of life, so we asked the service staff in the lobby (many middle-aged or even elderly male waiters in Hong Kong, it should be due to tradition , which is very different from the mainland), they just said that they have lived in the past, which year, "Not just one year, but which year?" They had to shake their heads. The building is very big, and it looks even more grand in the narrow streets. There should be private rooms. We went to the lobby on the second floor, and the tables were very full. Fortunately, it was past lunch time, and there were not many people. The signature roast goose , I can't eat anything good, so I order a few more vegetables that I can usually get used to. I ordered a pot of narcissus tea. The white porcelain teapot was quite ordinary, but there was a paper circle on the lid of the pot with the word "narcissus" written on it. It was the first time I encountered such care.
Ho Hung Kee, Hong Kong-style congee, noodle and dim sum started, all street stalls started, and the introduction of the history of the family pays attention to quality. In the past, it was really rare to win a Michelin star. Now it is the second generation of the owner. The store is opened in the food court of the building. The layout is relatively simple and modern, but the dishes are absolutely traditional. Compared with Yung Kee, we can eat more things, such as shrimp dumplings, Rice rolls, fried beef river, wonton noodles... are all things you can get used to.
In fact, in terms of category, there is no difference between He Hongji and Crystal Bus's "Dianxin", but the latter may be too elaborate because it is a tourist project, and because it is eaten while the bus is running, there is no soup. , It feels less moist than Hung Kee. Zhusheng noodles are a bit hard for us. This has been discovered in Huangzhiji in Macau. The waiter took scissors and cut the noodles in the bowl, and learned a word "haolin" which means to cook them softer.
(He Hongji's various foods are not as exquisite as Dim Sum. This is probably the difference between tourism products and restaurants.)
Taihu Seafood City is a recommendation in 2018. I took a boat to Hong Kong at noon and settled down to go out for a walk. The first stop was to go here. I didn’t expect it to open until 4:30, so I had to aimlessly at Lockhart Road and Hennessy Road in Causeway Bay. Walk around. Returning to the second phase of Causeway Bay Plaza, go up the elevator that is so narrow that only one person can stand there. The area for people to turn around on each floor is very narrow, and the entire area is provided for shops. There is almost no decoration in Taihu Seafood City, and it looks very ordinary. The people who deal with the customers are all men in their forties and fifties, and they have no service attitude. Yes, there are a lot of combinations of two or three dishes in the menu. I thought it was convenient for customers who have choice phobias, but later I realized that it was in response to the needs of Michelin's recommendation. So we ordered a combination with two kinds of dishes. Finally, we don’t know what a dessert is. , It's really not refined at all and too close to the atmosphere of third- and fourth-tier cities. However, one of the steamed fish in the combination is a bit old, and it is not as tender as the little-known Changman we went to in Macau (Changman's dishes are very large, and four people can't finish a serving of lo-mei, mom Said like the style of Guangzhou restaurant).
Taohuayuan Kitchen is the only Michelin restaurant in Macau, and it was one-star in 2018. Unfortunately, we have never even heard the name. We planned to choose one of the many high-end restaurants in Grand Lisboa, but we were confused. I stumbled into this house by mistake, and it was really well-decorated: small halls, with two to three tables inside, spacious, with photos hanging on the walls, and a set of opera costumes in the corner of our hall——Damn, above A spotlight shines.
Here is a young girl waiter from Yishui, she spoke softly, ordered four dishes, and found that there were two tofu after they were all served. Although the cooking was different, I couldn’t order dishes with the same ingredients in one meal, but again I can't remember how to order, and there is no list posted on the table like in ordinary restaurants. When I come to a dish, the waiter scratches one with his fingernail. While eating and thinking, when it was almost the end, a foreman came over to say hello, and I asked: Bao, what else is there besides tofu? She is very familiar with the menu, and reported them one by one. When she mentioned "bamboo fungus", I remembered: Yes, we ordered bamboo fungus! At that time, we also discussed what bamboo fungus is. The head waiter went down to inquire, and it turned out that the waiter in charge of ordering the food made a mistake himself. Afterwards, the head waiter kept coming to say hello, asking if he could bring another dish or wine. Seeing that we couldn't eat anymore, he decided to waive the wrong dish. Later, I thought we were also responsible. I was ordering food, my sister was asking about the Michelin situation, and the waiter ran out to get the red guide, so distraction was unavoidable.
The first non-Michelin restaurant should be regarded as the Buddha's Smile House, a Portuguese-style restaurant. It has the longest history in Macau, and it is only a little over 100 years. Why is the Portuguese-style restaurant in Macau, which became a Portuguese colony since the Ming Dynasty, so short? ? Maybe it's late? We walked from the hotel to the busiest meeting hall square, where there were still many people strolling, but when we went further to Fulong New Street, there were almost no people there. A very small door with the name "Buddha Laughing Building" on the top, it doesn't look like a business at all.
The door was heavy, and it was pushed open hard. It was dark and extremely cold inside.
A bald-headed elder who is not tall (but it seems that he is not old enough to write "I always want to stand up and ask him to sit" on the Internet) came to lead the seat. The hall is small, the seats are crowded, and there is a staircase. I don't know the layout of the second floor, but I guess the style should be similar.
Western food + cold, while we were looking at the menu, my mother shook her head, different from the Chinese food habit, one meal bag was served to each person first, it was really delicious (maybe a little hungry), and I ordered another one, and found that it was not worth the money of. This is the best a la carte menu I kept during this trip. From the name of the shop in cursive script (I don’t know who wrote it) to the names of the employees, from the names of the dishes to the service charges, it is not sloppy at all. Bacalhau ball really tastes like salted fish. African chicken and devil shrimp are very delicious, and there are not so many condiments that are not used to Western food, so some people say that it is an innovative dish mixed by the Portuguese with a lot of colonies. . In short, in the end, I couldn't even bear the soup, so I asked for rice. After the pudding was served, a middle-aged lady came out from the back kitchen and asked how our meal was. She smiled brightly when she saw that all the plates were clean. Show the QR code, WeChat payment.
On the second day after eating the Buddha’s Laughter Tower, the midpoint of the world heritage tour is the front of the meeting hall. I waited in line to eat the same famous Huangzhiji, an official waiting card, including buying souvenirs during the waiting period There are three prompts that need to be rearranged if there are too many people, and there are three prompts that need to be rearranged. For example, if we are 4 people, write "4" on the card and line up on the computer. , You can immediately see how many people are waiting in front of our team and how long it takes.
There is a lady who is in charge of this work sitting in the corridor outside the main gate. There is a checkout table inside, and the computer at the door will show which number is available. The station number was written on the card. We waited for about a dozen tables, held the card for station 23 and went up to the second floor, and saw that there were still stairs to go up. The seats are crowded, but the air conditioner is sufficient, the room temperature is very low, and the table is small. There is not much room for four adults. Fortunately, there is a table under the round table for diners to put their belongings. Fish balls have a special smell, and the bamboo noodles are too hard. Next time, I will tell you to order "good soup". There are many special words for dim sum in Guangdong. When eating porridge at the Haihuang porridge restaurant in the Parisian Hotel, say no Pigskin, the printed list reads "Take the pigskin". After eating, I asked myself to go downstairs with the list. The checkout at the door said that only cash is accepted. Such a big and famous store is in the most prosperous tourist center. Why? The clerk replied: The boss is for the tradition!
The traditional Macau is enough to eat and there are pork chop buns, and the famous shop is Taili Lai on Guanye Street in Taipa.
(There is someone holding a sign at the street corner)
(no seats inside)
My brother-in-law went to taste it, but my mother and I would definitely not eat it, so we looked at the food in the store across the street. A middle-aged woman who was working in the open stall greeted us while busy. All kinds of delicious food had meat, and finally figured it out Our taste: clear soup powder, only a little green vegetables, very light. This business is done, we each have a bowl of pure clear soup + green vegetables + rice noodles, which is just right for our taste, and my sister wants milk tea and a hamburger with fish, which is said to be Portuguese style. There is no seat in Dalilai opposite. My brother-in-law was embarrassed to eat other food here, so he ordered some from this restaurant. When he checked out, he noticed that the name of the restaurant was "Fisherman Portuguese Cuisine". You can use WeChat.
(Fisherman’s Portuguese food is really just an ordinary Chinese restaurant.)
In addition to the preset restaurants, in addition to restaurants with Hong Kong and Macau characteristics, we do not refuse foreign fast food. For example, on the top of a mountain in Hong Kong, overlooking the mountains, buildings, and sea in the misty rain, we tasted Forrest Gump Shrimp and Bubba Gump Shrimp.
Later, I found out that it is also very famous. Someone wrote on the Internet: Bubba Forrest Gump Shrimp Restaurant is a global chain of American restaurants. You can tell from the name that the restaurant was inspired by the classic movie "Forrest Gump" in 1994. ". In 1996, Viacom, the owner of Paramout Pictures, the producer of "Forrest Gump", opened the first Bubba Forrest Gump Shrimp Restaurant in Monterey, California, USA. This should be regarded as the surroundings of the movie accidentally growing up, but I don’t remember at all that Forrest Gump opened a shrimp company in the movie, but more and more people followed him. When he stopped, many people didn’t I have the impression that I have given the direction.
Another example is the fast food restaurant in Macau that I don’t remember the name. I walked down from Guia Mountain and went to the Church of Our Lady of Hope. According to the Baidu map, I wanted to eat a Japanese restaurant, but it was closed (I seriously don’t trust Baidu’s map of Hong Kong and Macau. , the Parisian Hotel we stayed in in the street view is still a construction site, it opened in September 2016), so I had to find this place while walking. It is basically a place where nearby students solve their lunches. Most of them are set menus and various burgers. , spaghetti, salad, coffee, milk tea. Because of the emphasis on this trip, I wrote down the names of all the restaurants, except for the roadside restaurant in the morning and the fast food restaurant at noon on this day, which seemed a bit sloppy.
(All are paid by Alipay. On the left is the Parisian’s afternoon tea receipt, with the name of the shop; on the right is the fast food restaurant, where only “macau” should be written. I remember looking back at that time, it is a very long English shop name , probably cannot be written down.)
Zhengdou is also a famous dim sum shop in Hong Kong, but there are too many well-known dim sum shops in Hong Kong. However, when we arrived at the airport on the last day, the air traffic was controlled by Beijing because of an important event (everyone said it was a military exercise in the Taiwan Strait), and the area was very large. A black woman sitting next to us hugged a girl less than one year old and rocked her to sleep, while her son, two or three years old, was crying and insisted on leaning against his mother. He stepped on the chair and leaned against his mother, and then explained in Chinese: We are going to Shenyang, and we will be here before 8 o'clock. I wanted to have lunch on the plane, but I pushed it until 3:00 p.m., so I had to choose one of the limited restaurants at the airport. Before I left Hong Kong, I went to "Zhengdou", but it was more at the airport. flavor. Like every store in Hong Kong, they all accept credit cards, and they all ask: UnionPay? Although I didn’t understand what MasterCard, Visa, and UnionPay are all related to, after all, the latter heard more, so I swiped it naturally, and returned 100 yuan after I came back. Is Sarah gone?
Speaking of payment, there are two digressions, which are the most expensive items of this trip, such as air tickets and accommodation, which were paid directly by Ctrip, but they chose "double/double bed" for cheap, and the Parisian Macao obviously had The double bed was not given, so I had to ask for extra money. I called Ctrip, they went to coordinate, and finally Ctrip said that I would pay the local cash, and Ctrip added the same value of RMB to my account. As a result, I was refunded 277 yuan, and I spent 50.83 for the three calls. I was negligent before departure, and I didn’t check the phone carefully to see if there were any discounted items.
