As soon as picking up the call from Milene, god knows she spot on new food choice again. We all meet up in the neighboring Pantane market store (Mercado Municipal do Patane); Whilst meantime, introducing the restaurant’s mosts respectful owner, Mr. Wong. Apart from looking up just for the sake of enjoying a quick seafood meal; the boss also brought in his self made salted fish for us to explore the real authentic tastes.

When I reached at the doorway saw a gigantic tiger groupa breeding in the blue water tank, special selections from the boss, self picked from the Pantane Market. He reserved a lot like deep-sea bamboo prawns, spotted sea crabs and Razor clams tonight; as well as plates of washed shellfish ready, waiting for us to enjoy.

Due to the epidemic, the flagship store introduced some nice seafood items this year, attracting more new customers. Apart from fish, prawns, crabs and shellfish are also their main recommendations; all guaranteed picked fresh daily. The owner carefully select each items from the patane market for great quality assurance. If you want to eat “supreme fish types”, you need to notify them one day in advance; the owner will assist picking the freshest, seasonal seafood varieties, from the neighboring fish stalls; On-day freshly pick up at the pier before noon time; waiting till customers all well seated, before all seafood ready to “made fresh”.

Heavyweighted Seafood Choice

First arrive the gigantic scary seafood trunk; I can’t believe such a small dessert store can enjoy such heavyweighted “seafood basket chowder”. The seafood taste not purely came from special seasonings mixtures, but it all just purely came from simple steaming way, with few splashes of chopped garlic. The secret recipe was that the boss will placed some mini clams beside each dish, in order to bring out the true sea water, original seafood tastes.

Its “Swordsmanship” is also indispensable. The spotted sea crab is also an attractive dish; versus the grouper has a “double sliced” skills accompanied with it. Such detailed fish cutting technique allow a normal gigantic fish roughly ten minutes to serve; now only takes five minutes to well done. The fish steamed are entirely detached from the fish bones just right; the fish is sweet and refreshing when eaten. It doesn’t feel overcooked at all. Although the whole making sounds simple; the actual “seafood flavors” cannot be experienced without those prep details.

Comprehensive seafood combinations

Braised clams in white sauce are always the first choice; Four plates of seafood and one gigantic fish, seafood crabs; accompanied with crispy fried snacks, steamed chinese cabbage in oyster sauce, together with three different mango desserts types, just wrapped up the dinner into a perfect ending; Definetely “the cannot missed out” six glasses of signature smoothies, were just indispensable. Each ordered item fits well with each other at the end, even though felt a bit messy, or mismatched when ordered. When all the dishes presented on the table, I felt extremely good and satisfying. And it only took a few hundred dollars only to pay off the bill.

Normally these items only available in big sized restaurants; but right here now can experience them all in such a small sized shop, its just unbelievable. Before we go, Boss Wong gave each of us his home made salted fish; He also share his business heroic stories how to “explore his seafood world.”

The importance of Patane Market

Golden Mix Dessert is located at Avenida De demetrio Cinatti, close to the Patane Market (formerly the original site of Nanjing Street). It is the site of the demolished workers’ recreation center. Historically claimed this market has existed since the Ming Dynasty and mainly sell fresh seafood. After the 1970s, renamed as Patane Market (also known as Mercado Municipal do Patane). Ten years ago, the Macau SAR government rebuilt it again, where the complex existed in its presence till now In addition to dynamic public sports facilities provides (rooftop courts, billiard rooms, etc.), there are also libraries and local community activity centers location points nearby. The market also built a three-level car park, recovering the lack of other close by leisure car park facilities in the Patane Districts.
