WORLD OF NADA

It's always sad knowing the fact it is your last day of holiday. I had a whole day to spent so here it is.
First we visited MJ Gallery at Sofitel. There is also MJ Cafe and there were some people. But when we went upstairs, we were the only guests. Good, then! So I could have more freedom in taking pictures. Besides gallery, they also sell MJ stuff from CDs, hats, gloves, jackets, even keychains and mugs. Let me take you to a tour inside the gallery with these pictures.


Among the zombies








We had brunch at Wong Chi Kei restaurant in Senado Square which is famous for its braised noodles. Popular restaurants are always crowded but we were willing to wait. We had to approach the waiter at the front to be given number and the number will appear at the machine (red light number like you would find in banks). While waiting, I looked at the menu first. I was ready if I had to wait long, but no one came up when the numbers before me were called and suddenly it was my turn!

Braised Noodle with Shrimp Dumpling

And yes, the taste didn't disappoint me at all. They were really good! The only thing that made me disappointed was their deep fried wonton was out of stock! It was one of their best-selling menu and people really love it :(.

Then we moved to Taipa at the south to visit The Venetian. I've been to the real Venice in Italy but still, we just should go here. I feel like I was being in Venice and the difference is it was cold here! Haha, of course because it's indoor. Back in Venice, it was really hot at that time.

Mango Glutinous Roll. Served cold and very refreshing.

Tai Lei Loi Kei's famous pork bun. They actually have their own shop somewhere
in Taipa but I didn't have time to find it so I had it here instead. For me, it
already taste good. But people said the one in the centre taste much better.
Manchester United Store



Went to Hard Rock to buy T-shirts and had to pass City of Dreams, where they have full entertainment from hotels, restaurants, shopping places, and shows.





From there, we were going to Rua do Cunha. I thought it was close so we went there by walking. Turns out it was very far so we became very tired. We found Taipa Museum and sat there for a while. I felt more isolated because there weren't many people. We walked again and so relieved to find the street. So, it's better to go here by taxi and tell the driver to take you to Taipa Museum.

The alley is a bit similar with the one near Ruins of St. Paul. What I love is it's much less crowded so I could walk around and look more freely. My brother decided to sit at Starbucks while me and dad were looking for snacks.


At the alley, I accidentally found Seng Cheong restaurant which is famous for their fried seafood. I knew it from a blog and didn't know it was there. Really helped us in deciding what to eat for dinner. I love what I ordered that night.

Deep Fried Squid Balls

Deep Fried Salted Frog Legs



Ice Cream Waffle from Waffle Waffle! The waffle taste amazing.
It's not too sweet and has perfect texture.

It wasn't too late already but we needed to go back to the hotel to pack. At first I was afraid of not getting a taxi because the area isn't too crowded. But at the end of the alley at other side, there were many people queueing up for taxi. I was so relieved.

And that's how I spent my last day in Macau, as well as to end my trip. Despite the money loss, I was having fun and a great time here. I definitely have to go back to Macau again for Wong Chi Kei's deep fried wonton, Tai Lei Loi Kei's original pork chop bun, and watch shows. See you again, Macau!

Welcome to Macau! We were directly looking for taxi to go to the hotel. We stayed at 5footway.inn. The driver dropped us at Sofitel hotel. I was confused at first why he dropped us there, and turns out it is the drop off point if we want to go to 5footway.inn. After telling the bellboy who helped us with the luggage, he seemed to already get used to this, so he kindly directed us the way to our hotel.

After checking in, we were taken to our room. It's on the 4th floor and we had to take the stairs to go up because there's no elevator. But I love the room so much. It is clean, spacious, and very bright since it's white dominated (lights, bed covers, and walls). Plus, the wi-fi connection is very good and available in the whole building. It is much better than I expected for a budget hotel. I would definitely have a great stay here, I thought.

Feeling too comfortable in the room, we relaxed for a while as well as deciding where to go. I already listed some places and my dad took brochures from downstairs. Since it's near Ruins of St. Paul and Senado Square, we decided to go there.

The map was quite helping even though I was a bit confused at first because we passed an alley where there weren't many people and the stores were closed. I just kept moving because I found signs that led us to Ruins of St. Paul and Senado Square. Suddenly, there was a sign of life. At least I finally found crowds of people. I walked further and was really happy when I saw this crowded alley. There's food everywhere and I was so excited! You'll find lots of Koi Kei bakery. Once you find one, you'll find again a few meters away, and again and again after that. And I don't know why there were many people at each store.

At the end of the alley, I finally found Ruins of St. Paul's. I really enjoyed my time here. Since there are many food to choose, I decided to try something. They are too tempting to resist. I sat on the stairs. The weather wasn't too hot but when I sat, my booty was like being cooked. Freaking hot! It was a nice afternoon indeed.

A nice, hot pork bun


Refreshing grass jelly milk tea


Pork fillets at Koi Kei Bakery. One is more than enough to be eaten
by three of us. You could try it first before deciding which to buy!


Walked further to Senado Square




Green Tea Red Bean Sundae


Lychee Punch



Here comes the night view. I couldn't wait to see the lights coming from the casino hotels. While waiting for it, I didn't expect that I would see a protest/demonstration near Grand Lisboa hotel. I didn't know what was going on but I wasn't panicked because it wasn't that chaotic. Somehow I enjoyed it because I rarely encounter this event, only see it on TV.


And this is how I ended my first night in Macau
