Another post on late night street food options at Macau following the entry on Keong Kei Lamb Stew is this busy little corner by the intersection between Tv. do Mastro & Av. de Almeida Ribeiro by the name of Ming Kee Beef Offal, or 明記牛雜美食 in Mandarin.
If you find the road names challenging, so do I.. GPS location is at the bottom of the page, however.
This place was “discovered” the same way I do with many food places – by bumping into it on the way from some attractions to the hotel.
Every night, without fail, this place will be packed full of people forming up a queue patiently waiting for their turn to “tapao” what this old couples were offering. So by the third night, it was decided we have to try this.
As it turns out, other than beef offal (including triple, intestine, heart, lung, tendon etc), Ming Kee also offers a variety of different ingredients such as cuttle fish, tofu pok, chicken feet, meatballs, lap cheong, mushroom, imitation abalone, white radish, vegetable, and more.
not just beef offal, but vege, mushroom, and more
We lined up and some half an hour later, made an order of “everything but also radish + vege + chicken feet + tofu skin” that sorta somehow turned out to be offal + tendon + tofu skin + chicken feet that came in two Styrofoam boxes (these stuff should be banned already… )
tendon, beef tripe, ear, and tofu skin
We brought it to the hotel lobby and also ordered two cups of bamboo salt bee tea thingy (which is supposed to have cooling property) to go with the beefy goodness.
This time around, the offal were quite delicious, it was generally rather soft and packed with quite a strong flavor. I’d have wanted the tendon a bit softer, and it’d help if the chicken claws weren’t still have nails in them and being way too tough.
The beef supper was around 190 MOP if I’m not mistaken, and another 35 MOP for each cup of the weird drinks. Worth a try tho.

that RM 100 for the beefy supper sounds a bit steep at first, but that sure is a lot of beefy goodness to share in your photos! 🙂 my favourite offal is chicken offal, but i’ll happily do beef too 😀
Sean: it’s Macao, everything is steep. haha.
KY, been awhile was there food and drinks not bad. My mom said it more like village style food.
Vickie: lovely isn’t it?
I thought we were ‘late’ at changing already, so it’s quite unbelievable that they’re still using styrofoam boxes and cups. >.<
eatwhateatwhere: yeaa, I was quite surprised too.
I sure would not miss this if I were there, the beef and all but yes, I am amazed that they are still using those styrofoam stuff there.
suituapui: yeap, that’s something that needs to change.
wow beefylicious again, and i like styrofoam, what is wrong with them??? They smell funny when I burn them…
kekeke: pls sniff more!
after a few sniffs, objects from haze’s paintings come alive woooooooooooooo #LOL
