Cafe de Macau - Eastwood




Went to Eastwood yesterday. Saw a new cafe had opened and there were people queuing up to get a table. So we thought we'd try it out. The name of the cafe is: Cafe de Macau - New Generation Eatery.

The meals were v.good value. The servings were large, and the food was fresh. It was kind of a fusion of Chinese, Japanese, Italian and Portugese, and Australian. An example is the beef stew with tomato and spaghetti. It tasted a bit like Napolitana sauce but it also had a some Asian sauce taste in it as well. So it tasted a bit Italian and a bit Chinese which was interesting and a bit different.

They had just baked some Portugese custard tarts so they brought them around the tables so we tried two of those too. It was really nice. Mains were around the $8.90 to about $13.90 mark approximately.

Tried a pineapple float drink and that was pretty nice too. It had pineapple pieces with pineapple juice at the bottom, ice in the middle then a scoop of ice-cream at the top. The interior was contemporary with plasma screens on the walls showing Hong Kong TV (I think).

Address: 1 Trelawney St, Eastwood, NSW 2122. Ph: 02 9858 1366.

The nearest train station is Eastwood station. There are a lot of Chinese restaurants and great value noodle and congee type restaurants there, Chinese bakeries, Chinese groceries, Chinese BBQ shops selling Peking ducks, soy sauce chicken, and more in Eastwood.
