Basically had some of these, random noodles with some beef brisket and octopus-balls. Taste was okay but expensive as usual. Proceeded with the plan right after that. Headed to the ferry terminal to grab the tickets for the turbo jet to Macau. Priced at HKD 305 each person, for both ways that is.
The ride on the turbo jet was a nightmare. the feeling was way beyond words. Photo was taken before i passed out. Its like having an earthquake with a magnitude of 10 or more, whole world feels like shaking. I wanted to crawl over the seats to the toilet and puke, but i just could not move. Half passed out you can say. Had my will to survive was not strong enough, i might have met Jesus in heaven already. Can't even stand straight when approaching to the custom. Things went smoothly after that, walked out from there and took a cab, straight to our hotel. The hotel at Macau was a heaven, while you can say the one in HK was hell. Took a rest and we moved on with our plans to the famous St. Paul Ruins.
The long walk to St. Paul Ruins was a torture. The temperature was freezing cold that time. The city was practicing a much slower pace as compared to Hong Kong, it makes me feel very comfortable walking down the streets, as if i have walked back to the past, since the buildings are much of older ones.
It was obviously very crowded that time, "squeezing tuna" in Mandarin. Managed to get a pretty girl to take a photo for us. The ruins were cute, as in there was only a wall standing right up there, nothing much to see actually. Took some time to scout around the area and snapped some photos for self-collection, i do went up the stairs and have a look at the scenery but just.....nothing much.
Found a weird stairs up, thought that was a good spot to take photo and decided to post like korean artists :P
Down the street of St. Paul Ruins, the whole street was selling souvenirs/local delicacies. The not-to-miss food were obviously their Almond Biscuits, Portuguese Egg Tarts and the famous Pork Bun. All of them were very good indeed. Prices are slightly lower compared to Hong Kong's. The texture and taste of the egg tart was pretty much similar to those that we can find in Malaysia, but the freshly baked almond biscuits and generously cut pork chop bun were heavenly good. Must try.
Casino is a must-visit place too if you happened to be in Macau. We visited the famous Venetian Casino, due to the Gondola Rides and artificial river created within the building. You can pay to hire some staff to sing for you and drive you around using the Gondola as well. The whole ceiling part was made up of blue colored sky, truly stunning. Casino...casino....tsk tsk tsk, i just contributed HKD 320 to the owner of Venetian Casino. Enough said.
Dinner at the food court of Venetian Casino. Well, everyone knows i am poor.....poor mah eat like a poor lor.....an 'ewwwww' chicken bento costs me around 68 pataca. The vietnamese pho costs around 70 pataca too. Well said by one of the famous economists, "Poor gets poorer, rich gets richer".
Supper was VERY GOOD at Macau. All of these actually cost me 100 pataca only, which was extremely cheap, even though by Malaysian standards. Moreover, the portions were very big, they worked perfectly with some beers :D. From the first picture, Sze Chuan Spicy Chili Beef, Sze Chuan Style Chicken Feet Salad, and Gyoza (Japanese Dumplings). Love the beef and chicken feet. Can't even find back the taste after coming back to Penang. :(
Something fun to share. They actually have this Cream of Pumpkin Soup at their McDonalds'. Price was roughly around 12 pataca (around Rm5). Taste was okay but very creamy, i can't even finish this small bowl by myself. And yea, that pretty much concluded my trip in Macau, Day 2.
