Memoirs of a Travelling Foodie: Food in Macau

Let me put this out there - Macau has an EXTREME variety of fine dining... like EVERYWHERE. How did we choose for our 2 nights there? Like all my foodie adventures, I started with a nice little google search, blog search and general scavenger search for the top places. What did I find? First stop, we wined&dined at Il Teatro in the Wynn Macau which boasts to be the best italian found in Macau. My brother and I enjoyed the Chef's Signature Menu (chef Anthony Alaimo to be exact) which was a 7 course meal with various wine pairings. While some dishes were very tasty & literally left my mouth watering/wanting for more, some of the dishes didn't mesh well together with the wine pairings or had too many strong tastes thrown all in one dish. Am I being nit picky? Well yes. I may have an infatuation with hole in the walls and grimmy steet hawkers, but if I'm going to dish out the big bucks I expect some incredible food. I found some of the portion sizes too big (remember its a 7 course meal AKA a lot of food) & some of the wines were a bit too sweet to be paired with some heavy dishes. What was incredible though, was the musical fountain show (make sure to get window seats to view this lights/music/water extravaganza). Overall I liked this place (service was top notch of course) but wished the dishes could have been more "delicate" if that makes any kind of sense (no other words come to mind).
The second night we indulged in a little Japanese at Inagiku in the Star World Hotel. Let's just say, this was all about FRESHNESS. Some of the best sushi I've had, a fresh bean curd dish of some sort (suggested by our fabulous waiter) & some strong sake. We didn't have a big meal (just simple sharing plates for both of us) but the service was incredulous and the food was delish.
