RECOMMENDATION
Grilled beef tenderloin w/black pepper
When talking about Meng Ke, a lot of residents would think of its “Grilled beef tenderloin w/black pepper”. The two hot-humongous- steak, outstanding black pepper sauce, and a grill plate keeping the beef tenderloin warm – all I can say is that every bite is so juicy.
Spicy African chicken
This is a signature Macanese dish and it's a Macau-exclusive Portuguese dish. The Spicy African Chicken uses a lot of seasonings, therefore each restaurant has a slightly different taste. At Meng Ke, this African Chicken dish is mildly spicy and has a hint of sweetness, which is not as savory as it seems, and with white rice, there goes the perfect match.
Braised ox tongue in Portuguese style
Comparing to beef, ox tongue’s price is a lot more down to earth hence it becomes a Macanese often-used ingredient. This is how this braised ox tongue in Portuguese style becomes a regular Macanese dish. Meng Ke added tomato sauce to enhance flavor, and it makes the dish more appetizing. The meat is very tender, so I would recommend this dish to all the ox-tongue lovers.
Grilled perch in Portuguese style
I have been introducing a few meat dish, it’s time to showcase the seafood selections. This Grilled perch comes with a sweet and sour sauce, which makes it immensely Portuguese. The perch has fewer bones, even little children would like to eat. The big portion is perfect for an entire family to share.
Baked man made shark’s fin cream soup
This mystery-looking puff pastry soup is a lot of residents’ favourite childhood memory. The crunchy puff soaked into the cream soup – the rich texture makes each bite satisfactory. Perfect order for the grownups and the little ones.
Green vegetable soup in Portuguese style
Speaking of Macanese soup, we must not miss out on green vegetable soup in Portuguese style. This is a well-liked Portuguese soup, soft mashed potato with veggies and Portuguese sausage, the taste is rich but perfect.
