Which 3 Sands Resorts Macao restaurants have won Dianping’s Black Pearl awards?
Of 13 Macau eateries to attain honour from China’s crowdsourced restaurant review platform, all those at Sands Resorts Macao have created tasting menus
If you are hungry and find yourself wandering the streets of any Chinese city, the chances are you’ll be using your smartphone to look on Dianping, the nation’s crowdsourced restaurant review platform, to find the area’s best places to eat.
Dianping wields significant influence in China, with more than 290 million users and five million participating businesses in 2,800 cities across the nation.
In June 2018 – for the first time – Dianping unveiled its Black Pearl list of 330 award-winning restaurants in 22 cities in China and abroad, including Tokyo, Paris and New York.
Out of the 13 eateries in Macao that attained this honour, three are at Sands Resorts Macao – and each one has prepared a tasting menu featuring the best it has to offer.
The Golden Peacock
The Golden Peacock has been awarded a Michelin star five times since 2013, and has frequently been listed in 100 Top Tables, published by South China Morning Post.
The restaurant serves innovative yet authentic Indian fare and its eight-course Black Pearl menu takes diners on a journey through India, which includes tastes from Goa, Delhi and Kashmir.
We started with a trio of chicken tikka, kasundi lamb and tiger prawn; the bite-sized portions were all superb.
Hats off to senior chef Justin Paul – especially for the chicken tikka, which was tender and juicy with a refreshing hint of coriander.
