The leisurely life of the rich start

The wagyu beef was wrapped in a roll and stuffed with watercress. The dark brown surface of the wagyu beef was exactly what Michelin restaurants often refer to as the "Maillard reaction", and it looked similar to the burnt edge of the steak Zhang Da ate yesterday.

But when he took a bite of Wagyu, Zhang Da immediately noticed the difference.

The A5 grade Wagyu is undoubtedly more plump, and the strong aroma of charcoal fire also adds a lot to the Wagyu.

And when the greasy feeling of Wagyu beef is about to spread in the mouth, the watercress just rightly restrains the greasy feeling, making it easy to eat.

For the second piece, Zhang Da dipped in the hoisin sauce served with the wagyu beef, which was the same as the sauce in the previous char siew dish, with a fruity aroma, which completely suppressed the greasy feeling of the wagyu beef, perfect.

After eating this 720 MOP wagyu dish, Zhang Da felt a little full.

After taking two sips of Bing Kuo Le, I checked my phone for a while, and the last dish of stir-fried bean sprouts was served.

The green bean sprouts are pretty big on a plate, but the price of 238 Zhang Da feels a bit expensive.

After eating this pot of grass, it is better to have another bowl of steamed eggs with crab claws.

Thinking this way in his heart, Zhang Da didn't see a pause in his hand, and ate all the bean sprouts one bite at a time.

At this time, he was seven or eight percent full.

He rested on his seat for 2 minutes, and was about to pay the bill, but the waiter brought milk tea and Portuguese tart——

This is dessert after dinner, also free of charge.

Snacks and desserts are given away. This Michelin three-star restaurant is far more "kind" than Zhang Da imagined.

'If you are thick-skinned, you can only order a staple food, and then eat some free snacks and desserts. Wouldn't it be possible to get three Michelin stars for only 300 yuan? '

Holding unrealistic thoughts, Zhang Da took a sip of milk tea.

Ugh, so sweet...

The sweet steamed milk tea slightly lowered Zhang Da's favorability towards the restaurant, but the steamed milk tea plus the "explosively sweet" Portuguese tart still filled the last bit of space in Zhang Da's belly.

He couldn't help but hiccupped, and then called the waiter to pay the bill.

Four dishes plus Coke totaled 1564 patacas, plus a 10% service charge, Zhang Da spent a total of 1720.4 patacas on this meal.

Swiping the card to pay the bill, the UnionPay card automatically converted the patacas into soft sister coins and deducted 1411 yuan from him after settlement.

It's not much more expensive than that steak, and it's worth the money.

Satisfied, he left the restaurant, and Zhang Da walked out of the hotel, intending to take a walk to digest food.

The night was dark, and the night of Grand Lisboa was lit up by colorful lights. Countless luxury cars came in and out of the hotel, and Zhang Da was dazzled when he saw it.

However, it is not known whether the owner of the car will become a lamb waiting to be slaughtered in the casino.

Not far from Nanwan Lake, a lot of fireworks went up, adding a bit of festiveness and prosperity.

After opening a review, I found that the famous Ruins of St. Paul's in Macau is only more than 1 kilometer away from the hotel. Zhang Da walked along with the navigation.

There are not too many tourists in the scenic spots at night, and the yellow street lights surround the Ruins of St. Paul's with a quiet and peaceful atmosphere.

Zhang Da took out his mobile phone to take a few photos, and sat down on the edge of the steps in front of the archway like other tourists.

Chapter 9 Encounter

After enjoying the night view of Macau, Zhang Da went back to the hotel to rest.

After going out to experience the customs of Macau during the day the next day, Zhang Da returned to the hotel in the afternoon.

In April, the daytime in Macau was only about 4 degrees, which is not considered hot. Zhang Da, who was sweating a little, took a comfortable bath in the bathtub.

The room has been cleaned. Although I didn’t drink the mineral water in the room yesterday, I still replenished two bottles. The soda and Coke in the minibar have also been replenished. The unused Hermès toiletries have all been replaced with new ones. Yes, there is no intention to fool the residents at all.

Zhang Da casually took off the bathrobe that was placed beside the bed in the morning and "backed" it back into the closet without any wrinkles. It should have been replaced with a clean one, so no one could find anything to criticize.

In the evening, Zhang Da had dinner at Chef, another Michelin restaurant on the 3rd floor of the hotel.

Zhang Da noticed this restaurant yesterday after he checked into the hotel, and made a reservation on the phone through his barely passable English.

As a Michelin one-star restaurant, the chef cannot be compared with the two Misan restaurants in the same hotel, but it has been awarded Michelin stars for four consecutive years, which is enough to show its stability.

The decoration of the restaurant also follows the route of "wealth and honor". As soon as you enter the restaurant, you can see a bar in the shape of a golden bull. The entire restaurant has a golden ceiling and yellow lights, which makes it look more and more wealthy.

But what attracts Zhang Da's attention the most is the wine cabinets that can be seen everywhere in the restaurant.

But when the waiter led Zhang Da to a seat and presented a menu and a thick wine list, Zhang Da was completely shocked.

This wine list is as thick as a hill.

The waiter seems to have gotten used to this, and skillfully introduced to Zhang Da:

"Hello, sir, let me introduce to you, the two signatures of our Chef's Restaurant, one is high-quality Wagyu beef from all over the world, and the other is our wine pairing.

It is no exaggeration to say that here you can find red wine produced in all countries in the world. As for the wine list in front of you, it not only records all our red wine types, but also a red wine introduction book written by our boss based on years of experience , almost a thousand pages.

Even if you don't drink alcohol, I still recommend you to appreciate our wine list, I believe it will definitely bring you a different experience. "

"Ah, then I'll take a look at it later, thank you, thank you..."

Zhang Da, who was still in the "downtime" state, subconsciously thanked him, and only after a while did he turn his attention to the menu.

He sighed in his heart: "Sure enough, people need to travel more to increase their knowledge." '

Compared with the wine list, the menu looks much simpler.

The title page of the menu is the set menu recommended by the chef. The five-course menu is priced at 980 patacas, and tea or coffee is also provided. If you want to add four wine pairings, it will cost 1580 patacas.

Zhang Da, who just got rid of the bad habit of drinking at the workplace, naturally doesn't want to drink, and the steak in the set meal is only 100g, which obviously can't satisfy his appetite, so he simply chose a la carte.

It is worthy of being a restaurant that deals in global red wine, and the menu also has the feeling of a "big fusion" of cuisines from various countries. Regular customers of Western food such as steak and lobster soup can't say much, and various Japanese sashimi and sushi are also on the menu grandly. , There is also a special sushi bar in the restaurant.

The price of the dishes is much more expensive than the steakhouse Zhang Da ate in Jinling. Any appetizer costs two or three hundred patacas, and the price of the soup is also around one hundred yuan.

Zhang Da thought about it for a while, and ordered a starter salad, a lobster soup, and a 340g M11 Wagyu beef sirloin, with mashed potatoes and spinach as side dishes.

However, Zhang Da knew in his heart that there is no such grade as M11 in the official Australian steak classification.

In fact, the highest grade of Australian Wagyu beef is M9. For steaks whose quality exceeds M9, it is directly called M9+ grade.

As for the so-called M10, M11, and M12, they are the grades assigned by some wagyu merchants themselves, in order to flaunt the quality of their own beef.

Of course, the possibility of selling at a higher price is not ruled out.

Therefore, if today's M1580 Sirloin, which sells for 11, fails to meet his psychological expectations, a negative review is absolutely indispensable.

Finally, adding a classic opera house cake as dessert, Zhang Da returned the menu to the waiter, and began to study the red wine brochure in front of him.

But until the waiter brought the meal package, Zhang Da didn't find out why.

So, after tasting the meal package, he simply ran to the self-service salad bar.

Before taking his seat, Zhang Da had inspected the restaurant’s salad bar and found that besides all kinds of “grass”, there were also a lot of meat and seafood sashimi, which is why he ordered this salad buffet at a price of 260 patacas.

It is said to be self-service, but there are also dedicated waiters at the salad bar.

Zhang Da first ordered some raw ham, salami, and a lot of fresh fish fillets that looked a bit like sea bream, and then added two slices of unnamed but large slices of sausage.

Finally, he added some arugula, tomato and buffalo cheese as a courtesy, and Zhang Da returned to his seat satisfied.

Don't tell me, it's pretty healthy.

The sashimi shaped like sea bream is very fresh, and the salami sausage is full of meat. The large piece of sausage that can’t be named can be wrapped with vegetables and tomatoes like the Beijing roast duck’s bread. Don’t worry about whether it tastes good or not, it’s quite interesting. feet.

The dark meal buns are sweet and salty, and they have a special flavor when paired with the restaurant's butter and the sauce in the salad plate.

After eating a DIY salad for a while, the soup was also served.

After asking the waiter to take away the red wine brochure, Zhang Da took a sip of the lobster soup.

salty...

This lobster soup is much saltier than he expected, and it feels similar to the one he drank in Jinling before, so he doesn't like it very much.

After barely finishing the soup and the salad, Zhang Da waited for about 20 minutes for the steak to arrive.

The three mature steaks have beautiful brown burnt edges on the outside, and the inner core is red and full of hemoglobin.

Zhang Da cut the already divided steak into smaller pieces and carefully put it into his mouth.

Well, it smells so good.

The unhappiness brought by the lobster soup was fleeting under the intense offensive of the steak. After eating all the side dishes, Zhang Da began to wait for the final dessert.

He heard from a girl who can make desserts in a friend's coffee shop that the traditional Opera House cake, cream and bread should have a total of 7 layers. Zhang Da wanted to see if this shop made authentic ones.

Gently cut open the cake, Zhang Da counted it carefully, there are indeed seven layers, not a lot of layers, standard.

However, the taste of the cake is a little bit worse, which may be the reason why Zhang Da doesn't like chocolate. In short, if you come to this restaurant next time, you probably won't order it.

After eating and paying the bill, plus 10% service charge, it cost a total of 2304.5 patacas, which is 1866.65 patacas when converted into soft sister coins.

The cost performance and post-meal satisfaction are not as good as yesterday's 8 restaurant. It seems that the judging criteria of Michelin restaurants are fair, at least in Macau.

Zhang Da, who had dinner, went out to digest food as usual. The night in Macau was still beautiful, and luxury cars were still coming in and out of the Grand Lisboa. I hope their owners can keep their cars tomorrow.

Mercy~

After taking a taxi, Zhang Da arrived at the Eiffel Tower in Macau.

This tower is built according to the ratio of 37 to [-] of the Eiffel Tower in Paris, France. Take the sightseeing elevator to the viewing platform on the [-]th floor to enjoy the night view of Macau.

After staying here for about half an hour, Zhang Da, who felt that there was nothing to see, walked towards the elevator.

Standing in the sightseeing elevator, Zhang Da couldn't help swallowing.

I didn't feel it when I came up. I would stand on a transparent sightseeing elevator and look down from the top. My legs and feet were really weak.

So, he turned around resolutely, facing the transparent glass with his back.

Just then, a girl in a long skirt trotted into the elevator.

Zhang Da took a closer look and was amused. He didn't expect to be an acquaintance.

Chapter 10 Shencheng (add more recommendation tickets for collection)

The person who came was the upgraded girl that Zhang Da had seen on the plane.

Zhang Da didn't notice her when he was admiring the night view on the viewing platform.

The girl obviously recognized the man in the elevator, smiled and said hello:

"coincidence."

"Yeah, quite a coincidence."

There was no one else in the elevator, so the girl stood beside the transparent car wall, took out her mobile phone and planned to record a section of the elevator going down.

Zhang Da, who had an awkward chat with the other party, continued to "face the wall and think about mistakes".

The elevator began to descend at an accelerated rate, and the slight sense of weightlessness made Zhang Da a little nervous.

The girl was recording a video on her mobile phone, and when she turned her head inadvertently, she happened to see Zhang Da with her back turned to her, and she couldn't help showing a curious expression.

Isn't this person afraid of heights?

The elevator slowed down slowly, and Zhang Da, who landed safely, stepped out of the elevator first.

After hesitating for a moment, he asked the girl:

"Uh, I'm here to take a taxi, how about you?"

"I'll take the subway..." The girl hesitated, "Then...bye?"

"Goodbye."

Looking at the back of the girl leaving by the side of the road, Zhang Da felt a little regretful.

He still wanted to ask the other party to add a WeChat in his heart, but when the words came to his lips, he was a little embarrassed to speak.

Shaking his head, Zhang Da reached out to stop a passing taxi.

“Grand Lisboa Hotel.”

"Ok."

The young driver spoke quite standard Mandarin, and with the Mandarin song "Crossing the Ocean to See You" played in the car, Zhang Da guessed that the driver also came from the mainland.
