Beijing Kitchen (滿堂彩) | Macau, CHINA
We
were only in Macau for one night so that we could watch The House of
Dancing Water at City of Dreams, so suffice to say, a delicious
dinner was totally necessary.
After
hours of research, I made a reservation at Beijing Kitchen and
pre-ordered half a Traditional Beijing style duck from the wood
fired oven with classic condiments ($288).
Located
inside the Grand Hyatt, the spacious restaurant has four kitchens and
each of them is segregated to focus on different Chinese delicacies,
from hand-pulled noodles, freshly made dim sums to one of my
favourite foods, Beijing style duck.
We
sipped on some Yunnan Aged Pu'erh – 20 years ($88)
while enjoying the Appetiser Platter ($198)
which consisted of appetisers such as the liver, plum
chutney, sesame pancakes, pork and crab meat terrine and
green bean noodles, sliced chicken, chilli and sesame
sauce.
Of
course, the highlight of the night had to be the Traditional
Beijing style duck, which was
sliced at our table. The duck was carved three ways, with parts of
the crispy skin sliced paper-thin so that they could be dipped in
white sugar and the skin simply melted in my mouth, a plate of duck
meat without the skin and another plate of meat with a small amount
of skin attached.
We
finished off dinner with some sweeten osmanthus flower cake
($50) and homemade
bean curd pudding ($68). Both
desserts were light with just a hint of sweetness. Usually I would've
preferred something sweeter and more rich, however given the fact
that we had some rather fatty duck, I thought it was wise to have
something light.
While
the other bunnie and I have now promised not to do Macau a third
time, the food at Beijing Kitchen is seriously good enough to travel
back from (and the duck is arguably as good if not better than in
Beijing.)
Total
Bunnie Dollars Spent: $765 MOP (all prices above were subject to 10%
service charge)
