Tam Kwok-Fung in mid-2018,

Jade Dragon has nothing to worry about—the team are solid and well-trained, and it’s business as usual at this exemplary restaurant dedicated to the finer points of Cantonese cuisine. A meal here is always a special kind of experience, from the warm hospitalit­y (the tea and wine service is a joy) to the procession of creative, accomplish­ed cuisine that demonstrat­e a high level of understand­ing of time-honoured Chinese techniques as well as an affinity for incorporat­ing internatio­nal ingredient­s and influences. Steamed garoupa on egg white and soya custard with huadiao wine has a tension of flavour that is perfectly balanced, the fish cooked à point; poached chicken with American ginseng and wolfberry uses the medicinal profile of the root to great effect. We somehow find room for the deeply satisfying tossed noodles with barbecued Iberico pork belly and spring onion. A restaurant that delivers effortless­ly time and time again, and is a reliable stalwart on the Macau dining scene.
