FERNANDO'S RESTAURANT Hac Sa Beach, No 9 Coloane, Macau Tel: (853) 882-264 Open: noon-9:30pm It is easy to see why Fernando's is the Sunday retreat for Macau's Portuguese community.

Built entirely of brick, this place feels more like a cosy European farmhouse than a restaurant. A fireplace at one end, and red-and-white checked tablecloths on the wooden tables add to the atmosphere.

Outside the wood-framed windows are grassy knolls and rolling waves.

Inside are jugs of sangria, homemade bread and simple hearty fare.

Prawns sauteed with garlic provide an enticing appetiser, with flavours so luscious the sauce is just begging to be soaked up with the crusty bread.

The salad is pleasantly simple - just tomatoes and lettuce, under a sprinkling of olive oil and vinegar.

Piping hot homemade chips accompany the roast chicken, which has just a hint of smoky flavour throughout.
