Sheraton Macao -Dining-, シェラトン・マカオホテル -レストラン-

I have tried a couple of restaurants in Sheraton Macao, Cotai Central.

One is "Bene" Italian kitchen and the other one is "Xin" Asian hotpot restaurant.

One of my best friends from the time I was in Taipei, happened to be the Executive Sous Chef of Sheraton Macao. Chef Gaetano Palumbo from Sicily, Italy. He has worked for world's leading hotels in Rome, moved to Asia and also worked for 5 star hotels, such as Sherwood Hotel Taipei, Sheraton Grande Sukhumvit and  Royal Orchid Sheraton Hotel & Towers in Bangkok, Thailand.

Chef Gaetano recommended me to try Bene -Italian restaurant-. They have a special Brunch on every Sundays. They are serving wide range of cold cuts, cheese, seafood, pastas, desserts on the buffet stations and Italian style BBQ in their outside garden area. Also, many choices of individual portioned a la minute dishes from the special menu!

Brunch at Bene was wonderful indeed. I wanted to try everything but they just had so much variety and I couldn't eat everything. I would love to go back and try the things I couldn't eat this time...

In the other day, I have tried the Asian hotpot & seafood restaurant "Xin"
I thought it was unique and rare to find a hotpot restaurant in a 5 star hotel. So, I had to try it!
They have also had many choices. Not only the ingredients for the hotpot, also choice of hotpot broth, many varieties of Chinese delicacies, from stir-fried rice, stewed pork, wok-fried vegetables etc... This was another wonderful dining experience!!
