    • To my knowledge, this is the only Macanese-style restaurant readily accessible in urban Shanghai. Macau Style (Chinese name Aomen Zhizao, or literally "Made in Macau") is a hidden gem of a restaurant, appropriated located on Aomen Rd. in Putuo District. While the restaurant carries a wide variety of Classic Cantonese dishes, as well as Hong Kong-style dim sum and roasted meats, I chose to focus on ordering specifically Macanese style dishes on my recent visit. I've ordered the dim sum and other Hong Kong-style dishes before, and they are good, but this review is exclusively focused on their Macau specialities. 

      We ordered steamed tripe, roasted meatball skewers, razor clams in garlic, a stir-fried green onion with squid and dried shrimp, curry fried rice, and braised chicken feet. Of these dishes, the only one that wasn't specifically listed as "Macau style" on the menu was the braised chicken feet (a.k.a. the classic dim sum dish "phoenix claw"). 

      Steamed tripe was overcooked and had lost its siganture chewy texture, but the sauce was nice. The razor clams were also underwhelming - large portion but lacked subtlety of flavor (they basically only tasted of garlic mince). They were also slightly over, causing the texture to go chewy.

      On the other hand, the roasted meatball skewers were meaty, chewy and delicious. The stir-fried green onion with shrimp and squid was the standout dish of the meal - a complex mixture of salty and savory that didn't overwhelm the fresh green vegetable flavor at the base of the dish. The curry fried rice was very tasty and satisfying - no surprising flavors but none needed. Finally, the braised chicken's feet were perfectly cooked, with savory soy-based juices running all over and perfect gooey/chewy texture like only chicken feet can. 

      We also had a pepper and pork bone broth soup, which was pretty good, but more for the vegetables than the actual pork pieces. 

      Altogether, damage was was 244 for two people to stuff themselves. Honestly I could have skipped the curry rice without missing it whatsoever, which would have brought the bill down closer to 200. Service was quick, the decor is pleasant, and the flavors were sufficiently different from Hong Kong or other Cantonese food to convince me that I was indeed sampling Macau flavors. Of course, I haven't been to Macau, so I can't comment on the authenticity at the end of the day, but if you're curious to try a new cuisine, Macau Style is a good choice. Just don't get the razor clams. 4/5.
