Terrazza Italian Dining, Galaxy Hotel - (Macau)

 My 1st ever visit to Terrazza by Inviitation inside Galaxy Hotel,  despite having been to Macallan Bar next door.   I think most Macau hotels have too many options to choose from but they might not realize this,   but most customers actually don’t catch on with all the available options because we are all distracted by choices.    Many of us foodies visit Macau monthly but that doesn’t mean we can visit all of them!    Some friends on the table have already visited here before and gave it high praise for Modern Italian food.

These Grissini are the ‘Best’ I have tried in Hong Kong and Macau region -
Light and crispy, fragrant. 
Prefer this over HK Grand Hyatt Grissini’s bready version,  which to me are not real grissini.

Bread Basket -
The flat Pane Carasau at the back were good.  The other bread rolls are of the softer type associated with HK/Macau Dining scene.   One of these had a lot of herbs.

Smoked Salmon Carpaccio,  Almond and Dill Pesto,  Pine Nuts, Arugula & Lemon Oil Foam -
The salmon was nice and thick,  I love sourness so wouldn’t mind the lemon foam to be even stronger but as it is,  it’s balanced.     ~  7/10

Spaghetti Chitarra, Burrata cheese, Pine Nuts, Dill, Bottarga roes, Saffron - 
This looked rather pretty and ambitious in recipe.
I quite like this for it’s texture,  although ultimately it can be more filled with Saffron,  Bottarga roes and Burrata cheese flavours.   Getting there in concept!   ~  7/10

Sea Bass with Baked Eggplant, Porcini Mushroom, Clams and Artichokes -
The fish skin was rather crispy and the meat done alright.   I personally loved the clams and porcini strongness.   Light but executed well.   Some others think this was over-cooked but I was happy with my own plate enough.  ~  7.5/10

Risotto with Lemon,  Squid Ink, Pesto & Prawns -
This was my Favourite dish.   Modern Risotto deviating a bit from the general recipes,  they now tend to be more wavy and wet .   This was both refreshing and rich at the same time,  my absolute favorite dish to be a must order.    It was so right.    ~  9/10

Contadina – With Mozzarella,  Porcini,  Parmesan,  Sausage
Strong in flavour and baked until darkened.  This was definitely lovable.  Their other pizza we had wasn’t as good however.  Getting there.   ~  6.5/10

Lotus – Yoghurt and Yuzu Molecular Ball,  Chocolate Cake
A signature here.   I really liked this even if it is cliched as a concept.  At the end of the day I liked this yuzu and white chocolate influenced balance with the underlying darker chocolate base.  Very well done.  ~  10/10

Panettone Tiramisu with Coffee Ice Cream -
Looked pretty enough but it was more of a cake version. 
Much dryer than a real tiramisu experience…  Luckily we received this as the normal version below.  ~  5/10

Normal Tiramisu with Coffee Beans,   made in situ -
This was the version we all looked forward to as it seems to be a signature across their hotels.  This was really good actually and slightly molecular in method.   ~  8/10
