PaperMoon • Bistro — Restaurant in Sé

Possibly the best value for money meal we had on our trip in Macau. 330 MOP for everything in the photos. And the best sauce I had in forever.

Lucky 1-hour walk-in table on a fully booked Monday night.

Coconut fried rice was fragrantly infused with the aroma of fresh coconut; the fried glass noodles were cooked at sufficiently high heat that the heat permeated every strand. That’s very hard to do because the noodles will stick to the wok very easily, unless you use a lot of oil - which isn’t evident.

The fried lotus roots were decent but cooked in a velveting manner similar to old school Chinese meats, which suggests the training of the chef in the kitchen.

Pork belly was nice, crunchy, and came in a very generous portion.

However.

It came with two sauces. A mild miso-like salty sauce, and a sticky sweet and spicy sauce that was ABSOLUTE HEAVEN. It had deep funk, salty notes, sweet notes, and just the tiniest spice floating on top. I put it over everything else and it just elevated everything, the noodles, the rice, to the next level.

I asked the manager if they could sell me the sauce. She said the chef made it themselves, and even if they could bottle it, the sauce had no preservatives and would spoil easily. I was utterly disappointed.

Make sure to order the sauce on the side...

Waited 54 minutes for one bowl of noodle soup before I gave up and left. Staff didn't come to me or anything I had to call one of the waitresses and ask her abouty situation to where she just blantly replied with "I will follow up ur order downstairs" no apology no explanation.. no nothing. Was waiting without any explanation. I left the restaurant and they did not even hesitate to simply ignore me. For me it was a terrible experience. Happened on the 30th during the afternoon. The food is absolutely excellent. But I'm sorry to say that the service in this day was absolutely NOT...

Wonderful Thai restaurant in Macau!! This gets a solid 5 stars from me -- truly a hidden gem! The food is excellent, we had the pineapple fried rice and the minced pork basil, coupled with Thai milk tea.

Staff is super friendly and welcoming, also love the ambience in the restaurant! Very reasonably priced too, given the quality of the food as well as the environment. Can truly recommend this place if you're looking for quality Thai food in Macau! ✨
