Sample Portuguese cuisine at Black Ghost Hill and experience Macau’s “slow food culture”

Mong Há Hill in Macau was originally a military stronghold. Since many of the Portuguese soldiers stationed there were of African descent, the hill became colloquially known as “Black Ghost Hill.” After the Portuguese troops withdrew, the Macau government established the “Institute for Tourism Studies” on the site to train outstanding talent in the hospitality and tourism industries. The institute combines the wisdom and efforts of both students and faculty, providing hotel management students with training of the highest international standards and serving all guests with premium cuisine, ensuring a dining experience free of any pressure.

The institute’s restaurant regularly offers an exquisite “signature buffet,” featuring a wide selection of dishes such as lobster, cucumber soup, pan-fried pork loin with rosemary, Yunnan ham and melon soup, Shanghai-style perch with pine nuts, coconut curry crab meat, salted shrimp and tamarind pork, and charcoal-grilled beef steak with garlic vinaigrette. The bread served at the institute’s restaurant is also a must-try specialty, infused with the aroma of olive granules, making it especially popular among food connoisseurs. The “Macau Slow Food Culture: 2010 Portuguese Flavors Culinary Journey” is a recommendation from the Institute for Tourism Studies, leveraging its strengths and using fresh, natural ingredients to appeal to food-loving visitors.

The slow food culture journey also includes wine tasting and Portuguese food culture performances. Although Macau does not produce wine, the annual low-tax import of Portuguese wines allows locals to enjoy high-quality wines at affordable prices. The diverse activities allow diners to not only savor delicious food but also experience the unique culture passed down through generations of the Portuguese.

On May 14th, the itinerary for the “Slow Food Culture Food Exhibition + Wine Tasting Workshop + Portuguese Food Culture Performance” runs from 12:00 to 17:00, with a fee of MOP 25; the “Slow Food Culture Themed Dinner” takes place from 19:30 to 22:00, with a fee of MOP 188.
