After nightfall, Fuk Lung New Street lost its daytime hustle and bustle, leaving only the neon lights flickering in the damp air. This is one of the most historically significant and vibrant places in Macau.
I stopped in front of a restaurant with red lanterns hanging on the door. The owner enthusiastically recommended tonight’s signature dish – fried shrimp with salt and pepper. After a while, a plate of steaming hot fried shrimp was brought out. The shrimp shells were fried to a golden and crispy state, and you could even eat them along with the shrimp. The salty and fragrant flavor of the salt and pepper combined with the mild spiciness of the chili peppers stimulated the taste buds. The shrimp meat was firm and chewy, with the freshness and sweetness of the sea. I asked the owner for any recommended beers, and he said: “Of course, to enjoy Macau, you should drink Macau beer!” After listening to the owner’s introduction, it was indeed a good choice when I tasted it!
The restaurant was filled with a lively atmosphere, with voices and laughter ringing out continuously. People were speaking in an unintelligible dialect, and their faces were beaming with contented smiles.
