Macau


One of the precious few places that serves affordable and authentic Portuguese fare. A decent portion of suckling pig, fried steak or sausage and beef, all with a side of fries, is under MOP$200. The Cozido a Portuguesa, a rustic dinner of boiled cod and veggies, is simple and tasty. Save room for the fabulously gooey Portuguese sponge cake, pão-de-ló de Alfeizerão.
