Vegan Birthday Celebration in Macau

We celebrated a very special vegan birthday at the St. Regis Macau. I let them know beforehand that we prefer plant based or vegan food. We arrived to find a delicious fruit cake for our celebration in our room! What a nice touch. 

I specifically chose the St. Regis because they have a restaurant called The Manor that caters to vegans. It was one of the few I could find. The restaurant boasts a sophisticated yet warm atmosphere, with decor that provides a sense of luxury without feeling pretentious. The attentive staff further elevate the ambiance, ensuring a welcoming environment.

The first dish was the Amuse-bouche. Bite-size perfection. 

Before the meal arrived, we gorged ourselves on this next level sourdough rye. 

The pumpkin soup was delicious. Silky and smooth, it had a lovely balance of sweetness and savoury notes. Topped with a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of pumpkin seeds, it offered a delightful contrast in texture and flavour. The perfect dish for a chilly evening or as a comforting start to any meal. 

The mushroom risotto was creamy and rich. It was infused with earthy flavours that showcased a variety of mushrooms. The texture was perfectly el dente. It is a hearty dish that would satisfy both vegans and non-vegans alike. 

The stuffed eggplant with basil pesto is a vibrant and flavourful dish that showcases the essence of Mediterranean cuisine. The eggplant is roasted to perfection, its tender flesh hollowed out and filled with a savoury mixture of vegetables and spices. The basil pesto elevated the dish with a fresh and herby punch. The salad was refreshing and the dish felt clean and healthy.
