RESTAURANT REVIEW
Though Macau, a former Portuguese colony, is located a little more than an hour by ferry from Hong Kong, few Americans have sampled its cuisine, a blend of Chinese and Portuguese cooking that also incorporates Goan, African and Malaysian influences. Now, thanks to Abraham Conlon and Adrienne Lo, Chicago diners can sample this unique cuisine, in which linguica sausage and piri piri chicken co-exist with pork and shrimp potstickers and twice-cooked bacon served with woodear mushrooms, snow peas, pickled lotus and leeks. Get there early as the no-reservation policy makes for some seriously long waits.
