There’s these two countries I actually never thought of going for a very long time, Hong Kong and Japan.
Hong Kong has always been giving me this ‘overly-crowded’ feeling (same goes to Tokyo) and not to mention overly priced.
For many years, Hong Kong just doesn’t interest me and I cant explain why. As for Japan, I just hate the idea that Japanese used to be cruel people during war time. I know right, but I cant help feeling that way lol.
This, my best friend knows best cause I’ve been that way since high school.
But my mindset changed as I grow and I just want to visit wherever and whenever I have the ability to.
Also since our friend Victor is at China, we planned a visit.
5 days, 4 nights and the first night was spent roaming Macau.
Instead of buying a return ticket to Hong Kong, I suggested that we buy two one way tickets.
So we arrived in Macau from Lcct and departed from Hong Kong to Lcct and that way, we get to save a little on the ferry by just buying a one-way ticket. Get to save about Rm70 per person, better than nothing. :)
Air tickets was about Rm600 per person all together and ferry from Macau to Hong Kong was included in our hotel package and to break it down, it’s HKD 162 for one way.
#1 Departed at 6.30am and reached Macau about 11am. The weather was really moody throughout my entire Macau/Hong Kong trip.
We actually planned to stay a night at Zhuhai, at Victor’s place but ended up booking a room at Macau instead.
#2 We booked Sheraton at Taipa for HKD 1700+ (RM750+) which includes two one way ferry ticket to Hong Kong and two buffet breakfast.
#3 Sheraton Hotel is the most affordable among the higher end hotels and since we wanted to stay around Taipa, there’s really not much hotel to choose from. Normal hotels will be charge at around RM400+ and to pay a little bit more for a far better hotel is totally worth it.
#4 Then there’s the pool.
After dealing with our luggages at hotel, we took a free shuttle bus to ‘Kuan Zap’ or known as the Macau border to cross over to Zhuhai.
One thing great about Macau is that they have free shuttle bus everywhere and if you’re not in a hurry, it is the best way of transportation if saving money is also your priority.
It took us about less than half an hour to cross the border and we met up Victor at Zhuhai Underground shopping mall which is right outside the border.
#5 Had our lunch at a random restaurant before our shopping begins.
I only ended up buying a trolley bag! :(
But oklah my trolley bag cost me about RM90 only, hehe.
#6 After all the borders crossing, checking in our room, we headed to Senado Square and along the way we entered this famous milk restaurant, Yishun milk company.
#7 Not quite use to the way their restaurant/cafe looks.
#8 Ordered Macau pork bun which I cant seem to enjoy due to my braces, the bread was too hard for me.
#9 ‘Ginger sauce bang milk’, direct translate HAHAHA. Fatty loves it but I find it weird.
So my mom finds it weird too and I thought, ‘aiyah she lousy don’t know how to enjoy’ but I guess it runs in the genes. Lol.
#10 Don’t know what they call this in English but this is ‘dan tan’ (MOP12) which is like our steam egg (jing sui dan) but instead of salty this tastes sweet. Damn weird for me also lah cause all my life I’ve been eating salty steam egg then suddenly you give me a bowl of ‘sweet steam egg’. -_-‘
#11 St. Dominic’s church.
Don’t know why my pictures so blur one lah! Don’t know it’s my camera, the editing app or my Iphone lah or 3 all together pfft!
I just realised that my camera don’t really have this anti-shake like my old Sony so it tends to be blur because my hands will shake! MEH!
Aiya also because of the editing app cause my apek Iphone prolly cannot save higher resolution pictures lah so now I cant wait for Apple to come out their newest Iphone already. Wait till my neck also long!
#12 Just look at the sky! T_T
#13 Ruins of St. Paul.
#14 We didn’t walk all the way up because time was running out. Also because I know there’s always a next time so never mind.
#15 The boys.
We were rushing because we needed to get back to Taipa by 7.30pm for House of Dancing Water show.
#16 Just the two of us because Victor watched it.
The cheapest ticket available is HKD580 (RM250)!
I read from Trip Advisor that it’s a must watch so I checked the price and after looking at the ridiculous price, I wasn’t planning to watch it.
But then Fatty’s father told us it’s a must watch, so oklor we watch lor.
RM250 is a-freaking-lot.
#17 House of Dancing Water was pretty impressive, they have a lot of machines and stuff coming out from below the ground but I didn’t quite understand the story line though. Should have read it beforehand.
#18 Then they have giraffe.
#19
#20
#21
#22 This is the part where I like most.
#23 The performers were hanging and swining, they looked like they’re having lots of fun.
#24 This is the part Fatty loves the most, the bike flew so fast I couldn’t get to snap it in time. I enjoyed this a lot too, really exciting to watch.
If you have RM250 to spare, do watch because we really don’t get this type of quality show here in Malaysia.
#25 Macau at night.
After watching the show, Victor joined us and we went over to Ruo da Cunha, Taipa for supper.
#26 We went to Casa de Pasto de Seng Cheong restaurant for crab porridge, we ordered the small portion for MOP130. The porridge was quite addictive but the remaining two dishes were nothing to shout about.
#27 Fried frog.
#28 Lala.
I wish I could go to Ruo da Cunha during day time because there’s a lot of food around and a lot of things to see.
Next time, next time.
#29 Thank God I get to try Gelatina Mok Yi Kei just right before their closing time.
#30 One of their best seller, durian ice-cream. Right balance of sweetness and the durian flavour was really intense.
#31 Fatty’s serradura which is some kind of Portugese pudding which tasted really good too. Something I’ve never tried before.
#32 Them boys enjoying their dessert.
Before I went to Hong Kong, my friend warned me that Hongkies are rude people and that they will scold you or shoo you off base on her experience.
But from what I encountered was that Macanese are a lot scarrier. Not all, just a few but they’re just weird in their own way.
Hongkies treated me just fine.
