Hou Kong Chi Kei

Top choice in Macau


Local families have been flocking to this unassuming restaurant for reasonably priced barbecued fish and pig-ear salad even before it received a Michelin mention. Now reservation is a must on weekends. The fried taro fish balls and chunky oyster omelette are served piping hot and go swimmingly with Tsingtao beer.
