Mang Pan Koi
This pocket-sized, homely restaurant is a hidden gem near Lou Lim Iok Garden and gets a thumbs-up among the Chinese in Macau. The food specialties here include abalone and shark fin and are all carefully prepared with fresh ingredients by the wonderful, hospitable chef Mr Dai, cooking with heart and soul. If possible, bring a Chinese friend for communication.

Eight
Elegantly designed in black, the main dining hall will impress you at first sight with its water-lily pool. Getting a table is next to impossible if you don’t have a reservation. The dim sum menu is not as elaborate as its competitors’, but its solid food quality and the chef’s creativity will win your heart.

Cheong Kei
Peak-time queues at the door are a clue that this long-standing noodle joint on the ‘street of happiness’ has a loyal following. Try the stewed noodles with jelly fish ( hoi chik lou mein;海蜇“泣I ). There are just a few communal tables; be prepared to trade elbows with the locals.

Ying
Ying is as notable for its terrific view of Macau Peninsula as it is for dim sum, both of which are spectacular. Try the lobster and coconut roll (MOP$48). The interior is beautifully decorated with crystal beaded curtains, making it an excellent choice for classy Chinese dining.

Long Wa
Next to the Red Market, this rare survivor of traditional Cantonese tea houses in Macau has a nostalgic charm, with age-old tiling on the floors and flights. There is no English menu. Just help yourself to the tea and grab what you want from the dim sum carts. No smoking here.

Nga Tim Café
Although the food here is so-so, the great view and a laidback and unique setting make this cafe a winner. Enjoy the scene of the Chapel of St Francis Xavier just in front of it. The amusing Macanese owner Mr Wong loves playing guitar to his guests in the evenings.

Lung Wah Tea House
There's grace in the retro furniture and the casual way it's thrown together in this airy Cantonese teahouse (c 1963) with a Michelin Bib Gourmand. Take a booth by windows overlooking the Almirante Lacerda (Red Market), where the teahouse buys its produce every day. There's no English menu; just point and take.
