Where to Get The Best Local-Style Noodles in Macau

Pacapio Good Fortune Beef Noodles on the Table Distorted Background Macau Lifestyle

Noodles are an essential part of Macau’s food culture. It will appear at some point in our daily meals, whether if it’s breakfast, lunch, or dinner. In Macau, you may find jook-sing noodles which are one of the rarer types. Traditionally, noodle-makers would ride on a bamboo log to press the egg, flour, and other ingredients together to form the noodles. It has a special crispy texture and comes in a variety of thicknesses. Here are some of our recommendations on getting the best local-style noodles in Macau!

Pacapio – Good Fortune Noodles

(See featured image above)

Without a doubt, one of the best places to have local-style noodles in Macau. Set in the city center–in front of Grand Lisboa Hotel–this eatery is known as Pacapio (Chinese pronunciation), serves good congee, but its specialty is clearly noodles: from wonton-based to beef or pig’s intestines, this is the to-go spot for some local flavors. Sure, there are lots of eateries offering this kind of food, but Pacapio is opened till late, which is great if you’re looking for a snack past bedtime. The wonton noodles are their pride and we think they deserve to be proud of it.

Opening hours: Daily, 10:00am–2:30am

This place is known for its shrimp roe noodles, which is a special noodle variety in Macau and its nearby regions. As one of the earliest noodle-makers in Macau, Cheong Kei kept up the standard and offers the most authentic taste of Cantonese noodles. Cheong Kei is not just popular with the locals, but also attracts lots of tourists looking for something to fill their belly.

Opening hours: Daily, 11:30am–00:00am

Lun Kei Beef Noodles on the Table Macau Lifestyle

Set on a quiet little alley close to Rua da Felicidade, Lun Kei is a simple joint serving all things local; from rice-based dishes to fried noodles or soups, there’s an array to choose from. Most people go there for the meat-based noodles and delicacies including pig’s intestines and other soft parts. The sauces are simple and flavorsome, usually with clear broth or thick, soy-sauce based ones. One can’t say Lun Kei is gorgeous, but it certainly serves great food. One of those cases where one should not judge the book by its cover.

Opening hours: Daily, 12:00pm–10:00pm

Beef Flank Noodles Soup from Koi Kei Macau Lifestyle

Sopa de Fitas Koi Kei 巨記麵家

This noodle place was discovered one day after a stroll down the street on an empty stomach. The stove facing the street was what caught our eye. This was because it was an old stove that was running on kerosene! This place has been making delicious noodles for over 60 years and our favorite thing to order here is stirred thick noodles with wonton. Koi Kei has been serving locals with their delicious noodles since 1949.

Opening hours: Daily, 12:00pm–11:00pm

piu kei noodles

Piu Kei

Although especially known for its congee–an immense variety–their noodles are also mouthwatering. Be it some wok-fried beef ones, or a simple, yet comforting and fulfilling wonton bowl, there’s a noodles dish for everyone in here. We’re especially fond of Piu Kei on weekends when cooking isn’t in our plans, but also after a night out of dancing with friends. Opened till late, it’s the perfect stop before heading to bed. It’s also an ideal restaurant to head to when in Taipa and wanting some good old Cantonese dishes for very affordable prices.

Opening hours: Daily, 7:00am–4:00am

Piu Kei 265 Rua de Bragança, Taipa, +853 2885 5184

Leong Heng Kei Wonton Noodles Macau Lifestyle

Loja de Canja Leong Heng Kei 梁慶記

This is one of the oldest noodle places in Macau and one of the best for local-style noodles in Macau. They have been cooking soup noodles for the locals for more than 90 years! Situated on a narrow side street, the open kitchen can be a little hard to find if you walk too quickly. The day we were there, we sat next to the person who makes the wontons daily. It was amazing to see how he carefully folded the shrimps into thin slices of egg pastry to form these delicate pockets of deliciousness. Definitely worth coming here and having a bowl of noodles if you are in the area!

Opening hours: Daily, 7:00am–7:30pm

Nga Tim Fried Beef Noodle Macau Lifestyle

Nga Tim

If you’ve been living in Macau for some time now and are a fan of local eateries, Nga Tim is a place you might be familiar with. Set in Coloane Village, right by St. Francis Church, this place has one of the best noodle dishes in town: a hotplate with sizzling egg-based noodles topped with beef and a unique, peppery, and spicy sauce. If you haven’t tried this yet, you’re missing a great creation by locals. Open since 1972, it also has some other mouthwatering dishes such as fried shrimps with garlic, pepper sauce clams, shrimp omelet, and much more. As for drinks, besides the free pu-er tea, we also recommend a fresh bottle of beer or their orange or sugarcane juice, that’s freshly squeezed!
