Exploring Macau's iconic old establishment: A journey through time at the Military Club

Kick off the New Year with a visit to Macau's "Red" series limited edition and stumble upon the legendary Military Club! A taxi driver chuckled and said, "In Macau, who doesn't know this place? Back in the colonial days, it was the go-to spot for prominent figures!" Sure enough, stepping inside, you're greeted by a wave of vintage Portuguese charm—ornate archways, colorful tiled walls, and every detail brimming with stories of the past. While dining, I noticed several retired gentlemen of Portuguese descent leisurely enjoying their meals. Their tasteful casual outfits exuded elegance, and I silently wished: "When I grow old, I want to be this stylish too!" 🍷 The menu features authentic Portuguese cuisine. Though the overall execution is fairly standard, the highlight is the chance to savor many "Macau exclusives"! For the first time, I tried the soul of Portuguese cuisine—bacalhau, a salted codfish with a rich, savory flavor that’s delightful whether fried, baked, or grilled. Other dishes include Portuguese-style roast suckling pig and egg tart desserts, all bursting with authentic and robust flavors. Dining here is not just about the food; it's about experiencing fragments of Macau's century-old history!
