RESTAURANTE PLATÃO IN MACAU

We actually passed by Restaurante Platão on our first night. My mom and I were like, "aww we should've eaten here instead of McDonald's" upon seeing the huge maroon umbrellas, warm yellow lights, and the groups laughing and enjoying their food at the restaurant's alfresco area. That night, I decided to Google and Foursquare where to eat in Macau - so we wouldn't end up in McDonald's again - and Restaurante Platão popped up enough times for us to be certain that we had to dine in that eye-catching enclave.

Restaurante Platão offers Portuguese food and to be honest, I knew nothing about Portuguese food other than their super yummy egg tarts. Good thing the servers were Filipinos and they were able to recommend dishes and even advise us if we're ordering too much. Did you know that there are more than 30,000 Filipinos in Macau?! I didn't!

Poppy Seed and Cashew Nut Rye Bread

Squid Ink Pasta. This one was actually quite a treat since normally, squid ink pasta dishes mean normal pasta and squid ink sauce. This one was black pasta, with cream sauce and seafood. Yummm!

Baked stuffed whole cauliflower with minced meat. It's literally what it is. Haha! I ordered it either because there was an icon beside it or it was under the portuguese specialties. I can't remember which exactly, but I knew I ordered it because it was recommended and the concept was so foreign to me. Good for diet except maybe for the layer of yummy cheese on top.:))

Do try this at home ;)
