Take Island MTR Line from Causway Bay to Sheung Wan and walk to the nearby HK/Macau Ferry Terminal. There you can easily catch a ferry to Macau.

Do you refer to the representative food in Macau or something else? Anyway, I heard the Bacalhau (codfish) and Galinha Portuguesa cannot be missed there!
