Western District Portuguese Restaurant

The Antonio restaurant in Sai Ying Pun has a European vibe from the outside, and once you step inside, you'll see the leather sofas, traditional red and white checkered tablecloths, and a whole wall of black and white photos featuring several celebrities that I even recognize. It feels like walking into a European home. The restaurant also has a grocery area with Portuguese specialties like canned sardines and potato chips. When we went, there was even live music, creating a comfortable atmosphere. 📣The restaurant is having a Fado Night Concert tomorrow, 24/4, where you can enjoy Portugal's most traditional performance while dining. It's $720/pax for a 3-course meal with house red/white. 📍Flamed Chorizo is a Portuguese snack that almost every table orders. The chef will ignite the chorizo with brandy, creating a scent of alcohol and the charred aroma of the sausage. The fat in the sausage also releases an oily fragrance, making your mouth water even before you taste it. It's served with bread and olive oil to balance the flavor and texture. 📍Half Piri-piri chicken is baked to order, so you'll have to wait a bit, but the aroma is already enticing when it arrives. It comes with two large pieces of chicken, rice, fries, and salad. The chicken is marinated and seasoned with Piri Piri Sauce, a Portuguese-style hot sauce made with red peppers, white wine, garlic, and other ingredients. It's not too spicy but has a rich flavor. The chicken remains tender and juicy after being baked, and the sauce pairs well with the rice, fries, and salad. 📍Carne de Porco à Alentejana is a traditional Portuguese dish that even the owner says is hard to find in Macau. It's a stew made with pork, clams, and potatoes. The pork is rich in flavor, and the clams are fresh and sweet without any sand. The potatoes are lightly fried, giving them a crispy texture. The pork, clams, and potatoes are all well-seasoned, and the sauce is fragrant with white wine, garlic, and bay leaves. It's perfect for mixing with rice or dipping bread, and the portion is huge, enough for 2-3 people to share. 📍Portuguese Creme Brulee is different from the French version. It has a crispy caramelized surface and a strong cinnamon aroma. The eggs inside are creamy and rich, with a distinct egg flavor and perfect sweetness. #Foodie in Sai Ying Pun #Top City Bites HK #Hong Kong Foodie #Hong Konger #HK Restaurant #HK Food #HKIG #Like4Like #FollowMe #Photo of the Day #Food of the Day #UFoodPhoto
