Hong Kong 2010: Day 4 @ Macau

Breakfast @ TST before set off to Macau. Overall, just so so only even the roasted pigeon/乳鸽
台灣牛肉麵 / 中國廚房
Address: 尖沙咀廣東道78號/78 Canton Rd,, Tsim Sha Tsui





We were lucky to catch the 1030am ferry instead of waiting for another half an hour. It's HKD133 from HK - Macau. It took us almost 1 hour to go thru the custom which is quite bad. There are many free shuttle bus service provided by casinos. After checked with the counter on direction, we walked to the Venetian shuttle bus for our first destination.











Lunch @ McDonald, to compare to S'pore, nothing different hahaha....




We took a cab to Senado Square (Largo do Senada).
Tips: If from ferry terminal, there is bus route #3, 3A, 10, 10A to San Ma Lo. Flat bus rate is MOP3.20.
A must try food in Macau is 猪扒包(pork chop bun), you can find it everywhere but of coz the famous one is 大利來記咖啡室 Cafe Tai Lei @ 18 Rua Governador Tamagnini Banbosa R/C (Taipa). But the one we tried is not this :p

When we walked along the way, there were some people offer us the cookies to try ( a tactic to attract customers). Told dd it will be very nice as it just out from oven, but bringing back to s'pore will be different taste!!! hahaha...
Tour around St.Paul's Ruins(大三巴), reading the history. We intended to visit the museum but it closed on every Monday :(









The next must try is Portugese Eggtarts from Margaret's Cafe e Nata/玛嘉烈蛋挞店. It is somewhere at the backlane, off Avenida de D.Joao IV. From main crossroad with traffic lights before reach Grand Lisboa Casino, coming from Largo Do Senado's directions.





Back to HK had dinner @ 好好新派上海料理. Tried the 水煮鱼,回锅肉炒年糕,酸甜排骨, the taste is awesome! Must try their Ice Lemon Tea, very freshing!!! The waitress insist to let us try the 桂花糕 for FREE!!!!

Went down to H&M @ TST (Opposite Harbour City), bought only 1 top & 1 shorts. DD got himself a T-shirt only. But daddy & mommy bought many hello kitty t-shirts, pants, shorts, hats, hairband, blanket... for our princess!!! There are whole stretch of branded shops at opposite Harbour City.

Passed by a dim sum restaurant and decided to give it a try and it's awesome!!! We ordered 排骨凤爪,楊枝金露, 水果甜腸粉,香芒糯米卷, etc.
