Restaurante Fat Siu Lau — Restaurant in São Lourenço

Service was good, very attentive. Atmosphere was okay. Elegant, but lack of music made talking awkward. The entire floor can hear whatever conversation you are having.

However the food was mediocre, and considering the very expensive price (over $1000 MOP for 2), not worth it.

The $128 MOP pigeon was small, and was no better than any restaurant pigeon. It came out so fast it was obviously premade and served on order.

The $488 MOP curry crab was not big, lots of small shelly pieces. Flavor and taste not especially notable. Not worth $300 MOP. Do not get this.

The $108 MOP Portuguese pork chop rice was bland. Tasted like something you look up a recipe and made yourself at home.

Why isn't this more widely made? So full of taste! A lovely golden brown crispy skin with tender meat underneath. We also had cod fried rice and a succulent pork cutlet, both dishes were really yummy and worthwhile. Now I wish we'd gone there hungry so we could sample more. Another special mention is the service .... unobtrusive and attentive. A super strong recommendation for you to...

Back in the 1950s, Restaurante Fat Siu Lau location was one small block south of the busiest street in Macau. The famous Hong Kong jeweler 周大福，周生生，original Macau store was right around the corner. If one want a piece of the colonial past of Macau, you should try the dishes from 佛笑樓。

The restaurant has been remodeled to a nice quiet, western style. But the dishes tastes almost the same as it was.

My favorite is the baked pork chop 焗骨飯(no bone) on a plate of very slightly sautéed rice with tomato and egg. My family favorite is the barbecue baby pigeon.

The last time I was there, the floor manager (probably the owner) whom I believe was waiter 50 years ago was still watching carefully...
