I'm always in Chinatown and last night was the first time I've checked out Little Macau.
I don't know how this place would fit into my social life. I've never seen it a full house, so its not good for people-watching. Its alright for an overpriced cocktail, but its too far away from home to be my corner bar. I paid $14 for two Tanqueray and tonics. Its a nice low key place to have a drink if you're in the neighborhood.
I think they had happy hour from 10p to 1a. We ordered our first round at 950p and later ordered two more rounds and an appetizer. We didn't get any discount.
They have a small menu with dumplings ($7-8) and fried rice and a lot of Portugese-influenced dishes, like Carne de Porco with Green Beans ($13), as Macau was colonized by the Portugese.
I think the bartender was saying something about the joint being built right around the time the whole no smoking in establishments that serve food law was being passed, so they came up with an agreement to outsource food from the "Korean restaurant next door" (I believe he was referring to Dae Jang Keum or DJK). Its convenient for them because they don't have to worry about kitchen health codes and pay for all of the equipment and worry about taking up precious bar stool space with a kitchen. But it took longer then it should've for my friend to get her steamed pork dumplings. And the bartender didn't seem that knowledgeable about the foods. "Everything that I've tried is good." But its friggin' bar food, who cares how good it is?
The decor was nice. My friend loved the gold wall with velvet elaborations. The lounge in the back is really laid back. But there was no bar wench, so you have to order your drinks at the bar every round.
