Just a quick bite to eat for dinner, as I was too full from our earlier buffet lunch and also from eating all the samples at Koi Kei Bakery. It was only 26MOP (about 3AUD). [caption id="attachment_1665" align="aligncenter" width="700"] Eel and Cucumber Hand Roll[/caption]...
Mistral is a restaurant located within the Sofitel at Ponte 16. Normally the lunch buffet is 168MOP, but this January and February it has been reduced to 98MOP, or about 14AUD after including the 10% service charge.

There are other items on the menu, but the majority of customers buy the tarts with maybe a hot drink. Unless the person was...
