Rossio at MGM Macau

This will be a pretty short post,since we didn’t spend tootoo much time here (much more time was spent in the casino)

The Rossio is one of the buffet dining places inside the MGM Macau and when we got there on a Tuesday afternoon in March,there was no one here. We got seated,ordered birthday smoothies,and went to work on the buffet. The buffet had a variety of Asian and Italian dishes,along with a section for fresh sushi,prawns,raw oysters,and even a salumeria (italian cold cuts) section. And I have to say that we really only enjoyed the seafood bar and salumeria. The asian section featured the westernized chinese food crap like General Tso’s Chicken and Chow Mein. The italian section featured heavily sauced dishes and meats like rolled beef that were dry and unappetizing. The pasta bar where you create your own pasta was gimmicky. If they had just stuck to one type of cuisine,their dishes would’ve been better.

That being said,we still enjoyed ourselves. We probably liked the italian cold cuts so much because we missed our NYC pastrami and corned beef.  The dessert offerings were only ok:most of them were made of sponge cake and a light frosting. The one we did actually like was a mango jello/pudding.
