CASUAL BUFFET DINNER AT BELCANCAO FOUR SEASONS HOTEL MACAU
The
next twenty four hours was jam-packed and hectic. We are scheduled to attend the theatrical
show House of Dancing Water at the City
of Dreams Macau at around eight in the evening.
Before that, fine dining was set for the group at one of Macau’s most
luxurious hotels, Four Seasons Hotel Macau at the Cotai Strip.
I
arrived early for the time set since Carla and Christian have to wait for Marx,
who just arrived from Hongkong on that day on a series of unfortunate events. I
was warmly welcomed by the gracious Director of Marketing, Mr. Julius Santos
and Ms. Reginia Tam, Director of Public Relations as we wait for the group to
be completed.
Smart
casual will do as dress code for this fine dining ambiance at the Belcancao
Restaurant. There are four restaurants
of the hotel which are equally world-class but we were reserved in a sumptuous
buffet spread offering a fusion of western and Southeast Asian cuisine, with
main focus on the Asian.
Food
The
selection is of a wide range and the most prominent (personal favorites as
well) are the fresh seafood produce such as shrimp, mussels, king crab legs,
whelks and clams. Cooking stations are
likewise live and I can’t remember how many times I went back to order the
lobsters. Live lobsters serve as an
enticing treat for a main course. It’s not every day we get the opportunity to
feast on lobsters and so countless orders were done. It was prepared just at the right tenderness
complemented by the creamy butter sauce.
Indian,
Japanese and of course Chinese cuisine were a standout as well. Roasted duck is a given for the Chinese
cuisine and I like how it tastes without the distinct taste of being raw unlike
other roasted ducks I’ve tasted in mainland China.
If there is one section that completed our dining session, these are the desserts. It ranges from the traditional Macanese favorites such as the tarts to the rich chocolate creations. I was particularly amazed of the chocolate cake coated with Ferrero-tasting chocolates named Feuilletine. If only there was no time constraint, I could have consumed more.
Dinner
buffet for this season highlights the different types of premium beef for its
daily offerings. The themed dinner
buffet runs from October 6, 2015 until January 5, 2016. Featuring succulent natural flavors, as well
as palate-pleasing textures and tender meat, beef offerings are as follows: wagyu (October 6-November 2); home-aged beef (November 3-30) and foie
gras and beef (December 1-January 5).
The buffet is priced at MOP538+ per person (Monday to Thursday) and
MOP588+ per person (Friday to Sunday).
Interiors and Ambiance
The
restaurant provides the perfect setting for intimate family and friends’
gathering. Though the hotel is within
the Sands Cotai area, known for casinos, this is the only non-casino hotel
within the vicinity, which makes privacy of dining within reach.
Interior design is minimalist. Different sections offering different types of cuisine calls for an interior design apt for the offerings. Chinese, Indian, Malay, and Japanese cuisine are easily discernable with distinct adornments on each corner.
Service
Apart
from the friendly management that I have met, all guests are well-entertained
and taken-cared of by the attentive waiting staff. We have experienced personalized service
while dining which makes the experience special and enticing.
For
time constraints, it is unfortunate that we have to leave early but one thing
is certain though, we did enjoy the food and festive mood without compromising
privacy.
Casual
dining at Belcancao is definitely highly recommended for visitors of Macau.
