so we woke up early and left the hotel by 9.30am! what a feat for us, hehe.
me and my mr. strong.
1st stop was to the famous lord stow bakery @ coloane area for the egg tarts!
i prefer theirs as the egg tarts are less oily. and trust me, egg tarts ARE v v v oily given all the fresh butter used...
breakfast was at lord stow cafe in the same area too. and what a hearty brekkie we had, baked potato for me and thai chicken rice for the husband. siao anot, you tell me.
navigating using local transport? ha, chicken feet to me.
some asking around by resourceful me and soon, we were waiting for local bus to bring us to the cotai strip where all the branded hotels (venetian, hard rock, galaxy etc) are!
waitng at the bus stop and on board the bus!
venetian is pretty similar to marina bay sands but the shops here are more "friendly".
@ venetian
whatever the lucky boy requested, we gave in. tsk tsk.
so, we had a go on the gondola rides!
to be fair, i did enjoyed the part where our boatman sang "月亮代表我的心". haha.
berry happy us.
foodie time again. 猪扒包!
because this is only so-so, we decided to venture out yet again to find real yummy 猪扒包!
there is a famous stall (大利来记) at taipa which sells 猪扒包 known to be delicious, so here we go!

i like the 猪扒包 here! despite the crazy hot weather (lucky macau is not that humid at all), there were many people here!
they only started selling at 3pm onwards till they sold out. we reached at ard 3.30pm so definitely still plenty for us. :)
next up, to the famous taipa street for almond rolls, 老婆饼, durian ice-cream etc!
i still prefer durian ice-cream in singapore. not to mention cheaper too!
by late afternoon, we were pretty tired out from all the commuting in the name of food...
we were ready to go back to macau island....
this time we tried the 小巴 which will bring us back to the other island via one of the 3 bridges connecting the 2 islands. :)
on board the bus. look how tired yz was but he refused to take his nap in the stroller! tsktsk.
we alighted near fisherman wharf area as hubbi wanted to visit the panerai official shop at one central (near MGM, Wynn hotel etc).
before heading to one central, we made a short stop to Wynn hotel lobby where it has a free performance every 30mins during the day!
the globe-like thingy behind me has 12 western horoscopes on it.
during the show, it will open up to reveal a dragon who will surface and do a rotation up towards the ceiling!
tada! while it rotated up, the ceiling above (showcasing 12 chinese horoscopes animals) will open up too!
and when it does, it shows a LCD sceen with v life-like fire!
it was really an entertaining performance. :)
it was said to bring good luck to those who watch it so it is not surprising for me to see many people rushing out from the casino to catch it before going back again. wahaha.
after boring one central (too many atas brands), we left for senado square to hunt for dinner.
dinner was @ 黄枝记 this time round.
and im just addicted to their shrimp roe noodles. yum yum!
an early night for all of us. it had been a long day!!

hey babe! your post came just in time! we're going HK in July! Can I ask you is the Venetian near Taipa street? Is there public transport?
are you doing a day trip to macau from hk? there are 2 ferry terminals at macau. you can choose either the one at macau island (where senado square/st paul ruins are) or at taipa (where venetian/other hotels are).
from ferry terminal , there are shuttle buses to all major hotels. so you can take to venetian. from there, you can either take public bus/taxi. taxi is abt same price as sg so it will be an easier option. i took cab from venetian to taipa when i was there.
great! thank for the tip! I didn't know there are 2 ferry terminals so I'll take note on the one going to taipa!
