MTB mezzanine food court stall slinging generic pan-Asian plates
On the MTB terminal mezzanine food court level, Taste of Asia runs as a basic counter where one menu covers Chinese stir-fries, Southeast-Asian-style curries, and rice or noodle bowls. It sits among several small stalls, so look for the mixed photos of fried rice, pad-thai-ish noodles, and curry over rice on the overhead boards.
The stall sits airside after security in MTB, making it a workable option if you have a short layover and don’t want to leave the gate area for town. Reviewers mention simple rice + meat plates in the MOP60–80 range, roughly what you’d expect for airport food court pricing at MFM. It’s self-service: order at the counter, wait for your tray, then grab any free table in the shared seating zone.
Menu boards show a mix of Chinese stir-fry, generic “Thai” curry, and noodle soups, often with chicken, beef, or seafood as add-ons. Travellers on TripAdvisor and Trip.com describe it as “edible but very generic,” basically fuel before a low-cost carrier flight from Macau. If you want straightforward carbs before boarding AirAsia or similar, the basic fried rice or fried noodles usually land around the middle of the price board.
Common complaints: food often tastes bland, and at off-peak times dishes look clearly pre-prepared, with sauces ladled over reheated items rather than cooked to order. Several passengers note that the bright menu photos oversell the final plate, especially for anything labelled “seafood” or mixed-meat combos. Expect cafeteria presentation and lukewarm temperatures if you hit it between main meal waves.
Regulars on forums say they only end up here when other MTB food-court spots are closed or packed, treating Taste of Asia as a backup rather than a target. Some advise sticking to the simplest stir-fries or plain rice plus one meat and skipping noodles in soup, which can arrive soggy. One practical tip: walk the full mezzanine loop first; if another stall has shorter lines and similar prices, pick that instead and keep Taste of Asia as last resort.
