Macanese Cafe Embraces Its Casino Heritage

At San Gabriel's HK Macau Bistro, the restaurant creates an ambiance of Macau's casino culture, as well as some reminders of Hong Kong.

When you walk in, your table is like a mah johng table, with mah johng tiles under glass.

 

And your eating dish wishes you good fortune and riches.


The placemat does not have a picture of James Wang Law staring back at you, but rather invites you to visit the casino.


The menu highlights favorites from Macau, like this Macau Beef Stew.  Naturally the serving dish is adorned with mah johng tile images.


Macau style fishballs, made with mashed potatoes and shredded fish meat, on a serving plate encouraging winning times.


On the Hong Kong side, some great Hong Kong style seafood chow mein, again with a mah johng tile plate.


And awesome pineapple bun sandwiches.


As the crowds attest, while the premises are gimmicky, the food is excellent.
