First time back at @yimorpheusmacau since its opening 6 years ago! Designed by renowned architect Zaha Hadid, the restaurant has always been breathtaking with its geometric dragon-inspired structures made from golden scales. Serving modern Chinese cuisine, the degustation menu is inspired by the 24 solar terms of the traditional Chinese calendar with highlights such as the Snow Crab with caviar, Hot & Sour Soup with fish maw, and the signature 23 Days Pigeon with lemongrass!

A few other places I checked out in Mexico City 🇲🇽:

@restauranterosetta - helmed by 2023 World’s Best Female Chef Elena Reygadas, the restaurant showcases Mexican ingredients in creative ways. It has also been awarded 1 Michelin Star in the inaugural Michelin Guide for Mexico. The beautiful dining room with a skylight was a sight to behold, and the best dish was the Savoy cabbage tacos with romeritos and pistachio.

@panaderiarosetta - also by Chef Elena Reygadas, the bakery is popular with locals and tourists alike. Aside from pastries, it also serves breakfast and sandwiches. The guava roll came highly recommended but unfortunately mine was a bit stale.

@contramarmx - this seafood institution is highly popular and always packed. Reservations are highly recommended which opens exactly one month in advance. The restaurant is best known for its tuna tostada and whole grilled fish with two sauces. Prices were on the high side but service was very good.
