This café isn’t so new on the scene anymore. I think they opened last year and has a wonderfully simple menu of Italian classics. They do an excellent job with the simple classics, pizzas, pastas, risotto with set lunches from 98MOP. The space is sparse but intimate with hanging lamps and wooden tables. Here’s the […]

I have been meaning to dine at the IFT Educational Restaurant for a while and finally got down to it. IFT  is the vocational training school to prepare Macau students for the world of hospitality and a career in the culinary arts. I’m an adjunct lecturer there, but haven’t been involved in their cooking training and […]

I love all the dining outlets in Grand Lisboa, from three Michelin starred Robuchon au Dome to the all-day dining Congee and Noodle. We’ve recently started going to the Crystal Lounge more often too – bountiful salads, great sandwiches (over 30 types of cheese and cold cuts to choose your fillings!) and here we have […]

I am so grateful that the husband got last minute resale tickets to Madonna’s Rebel Heart Tour a couple of hours before Sunday’s performance in Studio City Macau  (intimate arena with great acoustics) at a quarter of the price. There were many people trying to sell off their tickets at the last minute and we suspect […]

It’s one of the busiest days of the year for a chef – along with Christmas and New Year’s eve and people never stop asking what everyone’s plans are. We never really celebrated Valentine’s Day so it isn’t a big deal for me and I used to chastised chef for buying flowers on the most […]

A belated post and here is a combination from a press invitation to Morton’s and our own trip back to Morton’s a week apart. Can’t get enough of this generous heap of raw spinach salad. So good! I know, who would have thought – great salads in a steakhouse! So we got the full presentation […]

The year and today has ran away from me with so much to do and so little time. But I am going to live a little and finish up today’s blog post which has been on my agenda! Well Top 15 wasn’t easy because there were so many great moments, here are 15 that come […]

I am happy to work through festive as every day I take off is an unpaid day as a consultant. I am so grateful for down time so I can focus on the mountain load of work that was dumped on me before everyone went on holidays, no back to back long conference calls, calls over […]

Hope everyone is being fully present and spending time with their loved ones. My friend is over and I cooked, he baked, we read, chatted and laughed until chef came home. I haven’t read Dickens since A levels and forgot all about Scrooge at Christmas,  a familiar cartoon that came on TV every year, a […]

If you missed the shopping suggestions in Macau – here are more ideas. If you’re running out of time […]
