Peb tau mob siab rau peb lub Cuaj Hli Ntuj rau zaub mov thiab dej haus. Ib qho ntawm peb qhov kev nyiam tshaj plaws ntawm kev mus ncig yog qhov kev xyiv fab ntawm kev sim ua ib qho cocktail tshiab, snagging ib qho kev tshwj xeeb ntawm lub tsev noj mov zoo, lossis txhawb nqa thaj av cawv. Tam sim no, txhawm rau ua kev zoo siab rau cov khoom qab zib uas qhia peb txog lub ntiaj teb, peb muab tso ua ke ntawm cov khoom noj qab, nrog rau cov kws ua zaub mov zoo tshaj plaws rau kev noj zaub mov zoo ntawm txoj kev, yuav ua li cas xaiv qhov kev coj noj coj ua kev coj noj coj ua, kev xav ntawm kev ua noj hauv paus txawm thaum ub, thiab tham nrog Hollywood taco impresario Danny Trejo.

Koj puas paub qhov ntu ntawm "Portlandia" qhov twg Carrie Bradstein thiab Fred Armisen grill lawv tus neeg tos txog lub neej ntawm qaib tau txais kev pab nyob ntawd? Kuv nyob nws ntawm kev mus ncig rau Macao-tshwj tsis yog cov zaub mov hauv nqe lus nug yog shark fin, thiab lub luag haujlwm ntawm tus neeg ua haujlwm tau sau los ntawm kev qhia txog kev tsis txaus siab.

Shark fin kua zaub, cov tais diav uas muaj kev sib cav hais tias muaj keeb kwm nyob rau hauv Tuam Tshoj's Song Dynasty, suav hais tias yog ib qho khoom noj qab haus huv, nrog cov ntsiab lus siab collagen uas yog "zoo rau cov poj niam," raws li peb phau ntawv qhia Ken tau piav qhia. Txawm li cas los xij, cov kua zaub no los ntawm tus nqi siab-hais lus thiab ncaj ncees. Raws li Humane Society International, 72 lab sharks raug tua txhua xyoo rau shark fin kua zaub, thiab ib zaug.lub tais tuaj yeem raug nqi ntau npaum li $100.

"Qhov no tuaj qhov twg?" "Puas yog sustainably ua liaj ua teb?" "Puas yog tus shark tua ua ntej sau tus fin?" pawg sib tham-txhua cov lus nug zoo tab sis tsom rau tus neeg tsis ncaj ncees lawm. "Yog lawm, tau kawg, nws tau khaws tau ruaj khov," Ken hais ib nrab-heartedly.

Txawm hais tias muaj kev txhawj xeeb txog kev coj ncaj ncees nyob ib puag ncig ntawm lub tais, kuv tseem tshuav qhov tsis xis nyob. Tsuas yog vim li cas lub tais ntawm cov kua zaub nyob rau ntawm peb lub rooj yog tias qee cov tswv cuab ntawm pab pawg yuav tsum tsis txhob tham txog shark fins - thiab nws tsis pab tias qhov no yog zaum thib peb hauv ob hnub uas kuv hnov cov lus tsis txaus siab no, ib txwm muaj. ntawm ib lub lag luam muag zaub mov tsis muaj frills Suav, tsis hais txog kev ncaj ncees ntawm cov tais.

Ua ntej kuv mus ncig, tsuas yog qhov kuv paub txog Macao yog nws txoj kev lag luam twv txiaj. Txawm li cas los xij, tsis ntev kuv tau pom tias nws tseem yog UNESCO Lub Nroog Gastronomy nrog 17 Michelin hnub qub lub tsev noj mov nrog keeb kwm, tsis zoo li txhua qhov chaw uas kuv tau mus xyuas ua ntej.

Tam sim no ib cheeb tsam Suav Tshwj Xeeb Tswjhwm, Macao tau nyob rau hauv Portuguese colonial txoj cai rau ntau tshaj plaub centuries, tsuas yog raug "xa mus" rov qab rau Tuam Tshoj nyob rau hauv 1999. Qhov tshwm sim yog 12.7-square-mais ceg av qab teb thiab cov kob saw nrog txoj kev thiab cov tsev uas zoo ib yam li lub nroog Portuguese, cov chaw twv txiaj yuam pov nyuaj, thiab tsim cov tsev so zoo li Vegas thiab cov tsev nyob sib ze hauv ib pawg ntawm lawv tus kheej.

Macao cov zaub mov zoo ib yam li ntu: Portuguese khwmuaj ntau, boasting "cov qhabnias" pluas noj los ntawm chav ua noj los ntawm Portuguese kws ua zaub mov. Yog tias koj nyob rau hauv lub siab rau Cantonese, koj yuav tau yooj yim noj nrog Michelin-starred dim sum chaw los yog low-key eateries. Tom qab ntawd koj muaj cov zaub mov Macanese, kev sib xyaw ua noj ua haus thiab cov khoom xyaw los ntawm Tebchaws Europe, Africa, thiab Asia, uas tsim ib yam tshiab thiab tshwj xeeb rau Macao.

Kuv txoj kev mus ncig, nrog rau ib pab pawg ntawm lwm tus neeg sau xov xwm, tau tsim los qhia txog thaj chaw cov zaub mov tsis txaus ntseeg, nrog rau kev noj mov nruab nrab ntawm kev siv los qhia txog Macao cov architecture, kab lis kev cai, thiab keeb kwm. Nyob rau plaub hnub ntawd, kuv tau noj mov zoo tshaj plaws hauv kuv lub neej thiab sim kuv qhov kev ua noj ua haus nyob rau hauv txoj kev uas kuv tsis tau xav txog.

Tab sis, txawm tias tag nrho cov kev txaus siab ntawm pab pawg, tau muaj kev nruj nruj ntawm qee qhov ntawm peb pluas noj. Thaum twg peb mus rau ib lub tsev noj mov me me uas muag cov nqi pheej yig hauv Suav teb, kuv pom muaj kev sib tham txog qhov txawv ntawm qee cov zaub mov no. Nws tsis yog qhov kev tshwm sim uas kuv xav tau los ntawm ib pab pawg neeg uas taug kev hauv ntiaj teb kom ua neej nyob. Peb qhov kev mus ncig tau qhia meej txog cov zaub mov thiab nthuav tawm Macao qhov kev ua noj zoo kawg nkaus, tab sis peb muaj cov kws sau ntawv rov qab cov lus uas xav tias muaj kev phom sij ze rau xenophobia. "Kuv tsis ntseeg tias koj yuav noj ntawd!" "Tab sis vim li cas leej twg xav noj qhov no?" "Nws tsis yog qhov phem tshaj plaws?"

Thawj qhov yws yws tuaj ib nrab ntawm kev mus ncig. Nws yog ib hnub kub thaum lub Cuaj Hlis lig, thiab nws tau los txog rau noj su. Peb nyob hauv Coloane, ib feem ntawm qhov ntsiag toMacao, kom pom Panda Pavilion cov neeg nyob hauv lub hnub qub thiab ua piv txwv qee cov qe tarts thoob ntiaj teb. Pandas tau zoo kawg li, yog tu siab me ntsis, thiab kuv tau tshaib plab.

Lub tsev noj mov raug nqi raws li "Macao cov zaub mov hauv zos," uas, thaum koj paub tias Macao cov zaub mov hauv zos tuaj yeem yog ib qho kev sib xyaw ntawm Portuguese, Cantonese, thiab Macanese fare, tsis txhais tau ntau. Hu ua Nga Tim Café, lawv muaj ob daim ntawv qhia, ib qho rau cov tais diav Portuguese thiab ib qho rau cov tais diav Cantonese. Ken tau xaj rau pab pawg, thiab thaum peb tos cov zaub mov, nws tsis txaus siab hais tias nws noj cov nas tsuag, tshwj xeeb tshaj yog ko taw. Nws lub ntsej muag luag ntxhi muab qhov tso dag tso tseg, tab sis kuv cov phooj ywg mus ncig tseem txaus ntshai ntawm lub tswv yim.

Zoo txhua pluas mov, peb muaj zaub mov ntau tshaj li qhov ua tau rau peb txhua tus noj. Muaj nqaij npuas nrog daim tawv nqaij kib kom crispy nws tawg, do-fried nqaij nyuj rau ntawm ib lub txaj ntawm crispy noodles, ib phaj ntawm sauteed clams, grilled langoustines, pieces ntawm kib, dawb ntses nrog me me, me me pob txha txhais tau tias yuav nqos, thiab ib tug ceramic. tais ntawm dab tsi yuav zoo tshaj plaws yog piav raws li ib tug cab casserole garnished nrog tshiab cilantro. Lub tais kawg zaum ntawm lub rooj, tsis tau kov, beckoning rau peb zoo li kev sib tw.

Thaum Ken thaum kawg nug cov pab pawg yog leej twg xav sim cov cab, kuv tuaj yeem pab dawb. ("Koj tsis tuaj yeem hais tias koj tsis nyiam ib yam dab tsi yog tias koj tsis sim," kuv niam kuv txiv ib txwm hais.) Qhov saj tsis zoo, thiab yog tias kuv kaw kuv lub qhov muag thaum zom, qhov tseem ceeb tshaj plaws yog qe, uas Kuv tsis nyiam tshwj tsis yog cov qe kib, muag muag, lossis poached. Kuv rov qab mus rau yam tsawg kawg lwm qhov tom, tab sis txhua zaus kuv saib ntawmceramic tais thiab pom cov duab ntawm cov cab, kuv lub plab ua me ntsis tig. Kuv xav tias kuv yog tus neeg sau xov xwm nkaus xwb uas tau sim cov zaub mov tsis meej.

"Koj tsis tuaj yeem hais tias koj tsis nyiam ib yam yog tias koj tsis sim"

Ntawm peb hnub kawg hauv Macao, peb tau mus xyuas peb-zaj dab neeg Red Market. Hais tias kuv zoo siab yog qhov tsis txaus ntseeg. Kuv love lub khw muag khoom noj, thiab kuv ua ib qho taw qhia mus xyuas ib qho ntawm txhua qhov chaw uas kuv mus. Kuv xav paub ntxiv txog yuav ua li cas cov neeg Macanese yuav khoom thiab noj hauv lawv lub neej txhua hnub. Peb siv sijhawm ib teev los tshawb txog kev lag luam nrog nws cov khoom zoo nkauj. Tab sis nws yog nyob rau theem qis lub khw muag khoom noj uas kuv nyiam tshaj plaws. Ntawm no, koj tuaj yeem yuav cov khoom nruab nrog cev lossis tag nrho npua lub taub hau yog tias koj txaus siab. Muaj kab thiab kab ntawm cov ntses tshiab tos kom siav thiab txawm tias ib lub tais loj ntawm cov kab liab liab uas kuv tau noj hnub ua ntej. Thaum kuv nkag mus rau hauv tag nrho cov khoom noj khoom haus zoo no, ob peb tus tswv cuab ntawm pab pawg tau rub rov qab. Ib tug poj niam tseem tsis tau nkag mus rau hauv kev ua lag luam (lub tswv yim ntawm cov khoom noj nyoos los yog cov zaub mov tsis qab ua rau nws xav tsis thoob), thiab muaj qhov tsis txaus ntseeg thaum peb yuav tsum tawm mus rau peb pluas noj tom ntej.

Peb noj su zaum kawg hauv Macao yog ib qho kev noj mov zoo ntawm Suav zaub mov. Muaj sesame paj npleg plated kom zoo li yin thiab yang, nqaij npuas chop qhaub cij, braised npua ko taw, tais ntawm noodle soup, do-fried noodles, ntau hom kib nqaij qaib, thiab cov hnub qub ntawm peb kev sib tham: shark fin kua zaub thiab noog lub zes paj npleg.

Tom qab hnub uas taw qhia cov fins qhuav los yog lub thawv ntawm zes, nws yog lub sij hawm rau peb muab cov delicacies sim. Covpaj npleg tau dhau mus zoo txaus-nws yog cua, thiab tus noog lub zes tau ntxiv yuav luag ua ib qho khoom noj. Lub zes yog tag nrho cov kev ntxhib los mos tsis muaj saj, zoo li crumbling gelatin. Cov kua zaub, txawm li cas los xij, zaum untouched txawm tias Ken tau lees paub tias tsis muaj sharks raug tsim txom rau lub tais. Thaum kawg, nws nug tias leej twg xav sim, thiab dua, kuv tuaj yeem pab dawb. Kuv tsis tau xaj nws ntawm kuv tus kheej, tab sis nws twb nyob rau ntawm lub rooj, thiab thaum twg kuv yuav muaj sijhawm ntxiv?

Thiab ua ncaj ncees, tom qab txhua qhov kev sib tw, Kuv yuav tsis hais tias kuv nyiam cov kua zaub txhua-tab sis yog tias kuv tsis tau sim, Kuv yeej tsis paub.
