Day 2: Macau Walkabout

Our Macau tour officially begins today. More of a shopping adventure really as the main attractions in Macau I believe is the St. Paul's Ruins and Senado Square. And of course, the casinos. The guide informed that there are 30 Casinos total in Macau of which 19 belongs to Stanley Ho and his family while the foregins, Galaxy Casino have 5 venues, Las Vegas Sands 2, Wynn Resorts 1, Melco Crown 2 and MGM/Pansy Ho 1.


A pic with the pretty admin in front of the hotel casino. Incidentally, the hotel we stayed in belongs to Stanley Ho's 4th wife.


Posing with 'Huan Huan' at Fisherman's Wharf.


Group pic at the 'must visit' St. Paul's Ruin.

Beijing Olympic dolls along the St. Paul's steps. There is a souvenir shop nearby which is by far the cheapest in town. And it sells a lot of those dolls and figurines. Very cheap and made of good quality. This is confirmed by the experience ladies who bought them for their sons and daughters..hehe.




Pastalaria Koo Kei where everyone goes home with a bag. You can find local pastries like, 'Hang Yan Peng', 'Lou Poh Peng', 'Lou Kong Peng' , 'Yuk Kon' and even 'Ikan Masin'!! Anyone can guess why 'Lou Poh Peng' taste sweet while 'Lou Kong Peng' is salty? hehe.. Everyone tried the Portugues Egg Tart here. I think it taste the same back in Malaysia, only maybe the egg taste a little better.


Another local Macau delight known as 'Shiong Pei Nai' cost HKD 16. Smooth and sweet. Lucky not taste too milky..hehe.

Also, the famous 'chu pa pao' below about HKD 12. Too dry and no sauce..hehe.


Fake Sky at Venetian Macau's shopping area. We have only like 30 minutes to spend at The Venetian due to lack of time and tour guide need to bring us for dinner.


Our attempt to enter Zhuhai failed as there were just too many China people at the immigration. It was already 9pm and the immigration closes at 12am. If we managed to go in, we probably have to come back the next day. Also, intermittenly while queuing, there will a batch of like 50 people Chinese rushing towards the queue lines and push other people aside. Talk about being civic minded..still a long way to go for them.

you will need a whole lot more time in Zhu Hai. there is a place near there called Hu/Fu Men, where you can get AAA grade items at rather cheap prices where the imitation quality is almost not detectable even by the original item sellers here.

items which im talking about are say LV bags and branded watches, your TAGs, Rado, Rolex etc
