Macau Express seems to be a bid to create a similar fad that has spawned a wave of Hong Kong Style eateries in Singapore.

The interior was bright and functional. Something like a cross between a fast food restaurant and a chinese eatery.

Rather elaborate murals were on the walls. Probably to create the illusion of being in Macau.

I started with the famous “Ying-Yang” drink. Basically, it is a concoction of tea and coffee. Mine had extra ingredients of jelly bits in it. This was my first time having the drink. I could not fathom what the fuss was with this drink. What was the big deal with someone, somewhere having the bright idea of mixing tea and coffee together and marketing it to the rest of the world. hmm…i guess the trick was in the marketing…

My friends and I started with the appertisers of some Potato Cakes (I think) and the Tofu.

The Potato Cakes were fine. A crispy fried skin covering the moist potato portion.

On the taste scale, the Tofu fared quite badly. I am not a fan of pork floss. The combination of the pork floss and tofu failed for me.

The Portuguese Baked Half Chicken is supposed to be their signature dish. Here it is. I did not taste it so I would not be able to comment on it. However, it looked sizable. And that is a good thing.

The Baked Chicken Rice is as shown. Looks appertising. There was no violent objection from my friend on the taste so I must assume that the appearance did match the actual taste in some departments. 

My dinner for that day was the Macau Pork Cutlet Sandwich. The portion was quite small. I don’t know why I have a habit of ordering rather pitiful portions of meat encased in bread. See my previous encounter here.

Taste wise it was ok.  

I would venture that Macau Express would need a bit of good fortune for them to progress and start a new fad for Macau food. Here’s wishing them good luck.
