牛記咖哩美食 Ngao Keo Ka Lei [Macau] - Crab Roe Noodles, Drunken Black Chicken, Curry & Noodles

 牛記咖哩美食 Ngao Keo Curry has many famous dishes for local Macanese customers,  but for foodies visiting from Hong Kong side,  over the recent years we have somehow made their two restaurant outlets to be inundated with orders for their local Crab Roe noodles,  something that we do not have access to on Hong Kong side since we are used to eating Shanghainese Crab Roe noodles.  For people like me its almost a must-visit when I am in Macau and I must have visited here over 15-20 times,  but prices have crept up and it has almost doubled in price.

Crab Roe Noodles with Double Crab Roe  蟹黃撈麵 - MOP $43 + $30

It's a bit oily and only ever good in Winter is my experience.  During summer the crab roe and tomalley can be leaner and more fishy.  On a very good day though it can be very addictive!  ~ 5.5 to 9/10

Fresh Chicken Intestines and Braised Beef Brisket - Around MOP $100

In Macau foodies usually order fresh chicken intestines,  whereas in Hong Kong side we eat Goose intestines.  Here they are crunchy and the fat has been cleaned out properly.  The red braised Beef brisket is also flavorful from its own slightly spiced stock.  Despite the Curry namesake,  most of us regular customers think their Curried pales in comparison to this combination or their Mutton dishes during Winter.  ~ 8.5/10

花雕醉雞水餃撈麵 - MOP $36 + $10

Hua Diao Wine with Black Silkie Chicken, Fung Shing Shui Jiao Dumplings on Noodles

The flavor of the chicken is well penetrated with the Chinese rice wine, albeit this time around the noodles were missing the same sauce and they tasted like separate items.  The Fung Shing Shui Jiao dumplings here are always decent and done in a more flatter triangular form like in China,  whereas in comparison Hong Kong side is used to eating plump and rounder versions of the same named dumplings.  ~ 7/10
