I have a bad habit of turning my nose up at hotel restaurants. That would be a very big mistake in Macau. There are a ton of fab ones there, many of which are chain, like the MGM Grand and the Four Seasons. We had a dim sum meal at the Four Seasons that I still dream about. Steamed dumplings and hot soup. A flight of tea. Impeccable service and Coke Light over ice. Not traditional I know. But I love the extra sweetness and the cold bubbles playing opposite the traditional foods. And, don’t scream, I even fell in love with a buffet when I was in Macau. In the Venetian. An indoor gondola ride and made to order noodle soup, a wealth of desserts, sushi, pizza (yes, pizza), seafood, dim sum. It was crazy. And yummy. There should be a different name for buffets like these. Hhhhhmmmm…
