Wynn Macau & Ristorante Il Teatro

March 10, 2011 by The Sunset Goddess 1 Comment

Sunset Goddess Manila’s Reminiscing Macau 2008 Series. Click here for the TRAVEL GUIDE.

For our first night in Macau, we went to the main island and explored the hotels and casinos. First, we had to see Wynn Macau, one of the most luxurious and elegant hotels there.

 

Macau Day 1 (54)

At the time, Wynn was the only property with luxury brand shops. (Now you can find them in the Four Seasons and even in the Venetian). We looked around, asked around. Louis Vuitton was cheaper than here in Greenbelt 5 but no, we didn’t buy anything fancy 🙂

While we saved on the luxury brands, we didn’t scrimp on our dining choices. That’s why for our first night in Macau, it had to be none other than the Ristorante Il Teatro in Wynn, one the most well-reviewed fine dining restos in Macau.

The plush interiors of Il Teatro & fellow diners

As evident from its name, Il Teatro is an Italian restaurant. For appetizers, we ordered degustazione di capesante– jumbo scallops 3 styles, gratinated with zucchini, seared with eggplant puree and steamed with tomato tea (MOP/HK$ 148).

 

Macau Day 1 (44)

For our salad, we had Carpaccio di Manzo– peppered US prime beef tenderloin carpaccio, wild mushroom, aioli and aged balsamic (MOP/HK$ 120).

Macau Day 1 (43)

We also ordered Vellutatata di Porcini soup – cream of porcini mushroom with truffle foam (MOP/HK$85).

Macau Day 1 (45)

Then for our entree, we ordered Ravioli di Ricotta e Spinaci e salsiccia -ricotta and spinach ravioli (MOP/HK$95) and Spigola alla pepermata – whole barramundi roasted with pepper, onions and baby potatoes (MOP/HK$260).
Macau Day 1 (48)

 

But there is more to this restaurant than just the super fine Italian food. Part of the reason why it’s a must-visit restaurant is because it is Il Teatro or the theater in Italian or more precisely, the theatrical Wynn fountain show that can be best viewed only from Il Teatro, where one gets front row seats to the show. Alas, we weren’t able to get a table by the huge windows (they were full or reserved!) but this was still the priceless view:

Macau Day 1 (40)

After dinner, we explored Wynn some more, got stuff from the souvenir shop, played (& lost!) in the casino.  We also chanced upon Wynn Macau’s Tree of Prosperity, described as a “choreographic masterpiece of music, video, and light” but the show was not yet on when we there.

The are outside the hotel was also great for taking pictures and just taking in the sights and lights.

Macau Day 1 (52)

Then off we went to explore Casino Lisboa and Grand Lisboa, two of the most recognizable landmarks of Macau as they were one of the first casinos on the territory. I remember that Wynn was the only casino with a non-smoking area and while their facades are both unmistakable and unique, I didn’t care much for the interior architecture/ lay-out of the two Lisboa casinos. Although, we did have some “fond” memories of going there. In Lisboa, we lost each other and while I was standing there waiting in the lobby, a Chinese guy approached me and began speaking in rapid fire Chinese. I could only quicky correct him that I didn’t know any Mandarin Chinese. Loitering in hotel lobby + cleavage baring dress= the wrong impression.

Macau Day 1 (59)
Macau Day 1 (62)

Then I had to walk outside Lisboa by myself as I was already getting lost. A young Chinese guy catcalled to me “Hello Filipina!”. I didn’t think badly of it that time but soon after we went back to Manila, I saw a documentary on how the incidence of prostitution of Filipino women in Macau had risen along with the rise in its economy. Sad but true. It’s not unusual whenever we travel abroad to have first hand experience of the misconceptions/ generalizations/ stereotypes foreigners have about us Filipinos, which are more often than not based on their own experience and biases against our migrant Filipinos living and working in their countries. Well, this is just another reason why we MUST travel and go on holidays and show to the world that yes, you mainlander, we can afford to go on holidays in YOUR country too!

Macau Day 1 (60)

Anyway, if I had known about that and that I was going to walk along the streets at night & by myself, I wouldn’t have worn that dress! But oh well, recounting that incident only made our Macau trip more memorable, with me being teased with “Hello, Filipina” to no end!

    By January 13, 2009 – 11:51 amTrue. I think what it did is that it gave me instant giatifrcation of what I was doing. I was enjoying taking the photos and seeing the immediate results. So, instead of being a documentation of our trip, it turned into a creative activity for me.Macau has indeed changed a lot my photos don’t really cover the modern site of the city that much, even. It was my first visit, but my visit visited more than 10 years ago, and she was really surprised by the positive change.
