Hotels, inns and restaurants offer a wide variety of food. Some specialise in Portuguese dishes, while others offer cuisine from China, Japan, Korea and Indonesia. Local Macau food is spicy, a unique combination of Chinese and Portuguese cooking methods with influences of Indian and African spices.
Alcohol is easily obtainable.
There are no licensing laws. All restaurants offer a variety of Portuguese red and white wines and sparkling vinho verde , as well as port and brandy, all at low prices.
