Instead, we ordered a tea set for two, a fresh berries waffle, and a buffalo mozzarella and tomato pizza. Click here for the full menu. They are the only cafe in Macau I am aware of that serves tea from Mariage Frères. Marco Polo is Mariage Frères most famous blend so if you have never try their tea before, give it a try. My friend prefers the Sur Le Nil more, which is equally tasty, especially if you are a green tea lover.
Nevertheless, the service was disappointing. The server brought us our waffle before the pizza and the waffle came with a scoop of ice-cream. Needless to say, when we were ready for the waffle, the ice cream has already melted. I truly wish that the service standards will improve the next time I visit, which I doubted, as I had another incident at Rossio the other night.
With less and less young people entering the F&B industry, I am really not sure how all these casinos can keep up with the increasing demand. Until we have a healthy supply for "fresh blood" in the F&B and hospitality industry, call me pessimistic but I just don't see how Macau can become Asia's hub for world class resort and entertainment when we rely so heavily on foreign workers.

Hello! Thanks for subscribing to my site! :)
ReplyDeleteGuess what, I tried Marco Polo for the first time in MGM Macau! It has been a few years but it still is my favourite tea!
Btw, Mariage Freres teas are apparently served also in Kafka Sweets & Gourmandises, a cafe in Taipa, Macau :) I have never been there but I read about that in a magazine I think ;)
Thanks for subscribing back :)
DeleteNow that you mentioned it I remember! Yes indeed Mariage Freres is served in Kafka too! It's been a while since I was there. Their cakes are really tasty, similar to those sold at Petite Amanda. However, service is slow at Kafka since they are short staffed and there is always a line but it's worth a visit!
Cakez Cafe is another nice place for afternoon tea in Macau too. Maybe I should write a blog post on those two places!
Oh I thought I typed a comment here some days ago?? Apparently I did not publish it?
DeletePlease do write about Kafka and Cakez! I want to try them too, but there are always so much to eat whenever I go to Macau haha... would really love to read about your reviews!
