🍖 Chan Kwan Kee Roasted Meat Shop | Michelin Recommended Old Shop in Macau
🕘 09:00–00:00
📍 19-39 Rua Dr. Roberto, Macau, Man Seng Building

When in Macau, you really can't miss this old establishment, "Chan Kwan Kee Roasted Meat Shop," which has been in operation for over 60 years. Since 2011, it has been selected multiple times in the Michelin Guide's recommendations for Hong Kong and Macau. The shop is not large and always crowded, but the service is super fast and efficient, fitting the traditional style of a quick and precise restaurant.🔥
This time I ordered a combo of char siu and black pepper roasted goose (MOP 83), wonton noodles (MOP 43), and a plate of blanched vegetables (MOP 50). The black pepper roasted goose is really impressive, with a crispy skin and tender meat, flavorful but not overly salty, making it enjoyable on its own or with rice; the char siu was also quite good, not too greasy and tender. 👍
The wontons were a highlight, with solid and plump shrimp, thin skin, and plenty of filling, served in a refreshing broth; however, the noodles were just average and a bit too soft. The blanched vegetables were perfectly cooked, bright and crisp, not hard or bitter, and paired nicely with oyster sauce. 🥬
Overall, it's a very reliable old roasted meat shop where you can taste the history and skilled craftsmanship. The space inside is compact and the floor a bit slippery, but this atmosphere makes the experience feel authentic and gives you the true taste of Macau street food. 🇲🇴
🔹 Roast Meat Duo (Black Pepper Roast Duck, Char Siu) MOP83
- The duo can be chosen from black pepper roast duck/cut chicken/oil chicken/char siu/roast pork/duck kidney/braised meat. Many people order roast duck, so I decided to try it.
The black pepper tastes very much like the black pepper sauce from a breakfast shop; the duck meat is average, but the skin is crispy and quite good. However, there are parts that have little meat and a lot of bones.
The char siu tastes just ordinary, decent and standard. The meat isn’t remarkable, so it’s not a must-order option.
🔸 Wonton Noodles MOP43
- This was a bit different from the wontons I imagined; they are more solid, and the skin is not as soft as Taiwanese wontons. The noodles are fine and yellow, which I’m not used to. The soup is okay in flavor, but for me, it's a bit too salty.
🔹 Choy Sum MOP59
- After blanching, sauce is poured over it. Personally, I didn’t like it; it has a slightly bitter taste. My friend disagrees, thinking it might just be the vegetable's natural flavor. But the leafy part on top is quite tasty.
🧸 A cup of hot tea is provided; I couldn’t really tell what kind it was. I only took one sip and noticed a soil-like taste, which might not appeal to those sensitive to flavors in water.
🔅 The floor is a bit scary; it feels sticky and dirty everywhere.
🔅 You find your own seats, but there are reminders nearby that the tables may need to be combined when crowded.
🔅 Reservations are not accepted.
🧸 Still studying the menu, and the staff came by twice. On the third time, they stood right next to us, waiting for us to order, which felt really pressuring.
