Macau trip Part2

Before I start with the Macau Trip, just wanted to share a comic strip from www.akiraceo.com with Peter. Yesterday night he came back very early from yum char session (which is absolutely rare), with the look of utter defeated on his face. 

Checkout the full post click here. I think many had felt the same since the Diablo III craze virus went epidemic. 

Anyway, come back to Macau trip. Other than the St Paul ruin, we have visited many other tourist spots.

Macao Fisherman Wharf. The night scene was extremely beautiful, you can basically see the entire Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge run across the ocean from one side to the opposite. The serene view and the relaxing ambience reminds me alot of Penang. However, Taiwan Fisherman Wharf is 10X better.















There are many 'interesting' architecture and buildings located at Macau Fisherman Wharf. Aqua Romanis, a Roman-themed shopping centre (Good spot for slow walk and camwhoring); Roman Amphitheatre, an outdoor Colosseum equipped with 2,000 seats, designed for concerts and other performances; funny looking Vulcania, a 40m tall replica volcano which house some rollercoaster rides; and Aladdin's Fort, a middle-eastern fort which is home to some funfair rides.






This Venetian Macau at Taipa, one of the biggest and most famous casino. Am not repeating what I've written about Casino in my previous post. Basically its all the same except Venetian has this shopping street with fake sky (see upper right picture) inside the building itself. Well, probably you would have notice by now that Macau is full of funny looking counterfeit ancient Roman/ Egypt Empire architectures and buildings. They are interesting to see but I ain't gonna come back for second time. 







A non casino tourist site which worthy to be mentioned is the Macau light house. Its supposed to be local hiking/ jogging site, and there is a church and light house on top of the hill. You can get the 360 view of the Macau city from the top which makes it the perfect place to shoot wedding photos.














Well, lets talk about the interesting part, food at Macau!

















This is our first meal at Macau. which is quite a let down, it was a China-cuisine restaurant which serve very Chinese Zha jiang mian (noodle with mince meat in soy sauce) and chinese dumpling. each cost around 40 Hong Kong Dollar. Not recommended at all.



This is our breakfast inside Venetian Macau. We have it at Fatburger, a not so common fast food chain (at least in Malaysia), despite the fact that it was advertised that they only use good quality of beef patty, the food itself was nothing to shout about. The funniest thing is there is a Malaysian delight stalls in the food court which sells nasi lemak at whooping $70! Can you believe it?

We also had the famous Lord Stow's Portuguese egg tart. He supposed to be the first person who came up with the famous local delicacies. $8 per piece, expensive but the taste live up to its name! The best we had in Macau.



Then we visited the old Taipa village near to the Venetian Macau, where the real "Nandos" supposed to be (see the red rooster sign in the picture). We have a good cup of local Naicha (milk tea) and a unique egg tart made of coconut milk! And when we are back to Senado Square, we tried another egg tart at local famous  restaurant called Margaret cafe. I know that alot of egg tarts from 3 different shops in a single day, but gosh its addictive!

Stay tuned for more food at Macau in my next post.
