Rendezvous in Macau (Day 1)

Date: Monday, 28 Dec 2009

Our room at Metropark Hotel Macau. Free upgrade to suite! Yippee!


There were even 2 little doggies waiting for us in the bed! One for me and one for him. Haha!


Ok, time to head out! First stop: Senado Square, in search of the famous wanton mee.

So crowded! Long queue at the door! Luckily we didn't have to wait really long.

我们坐在二楼半。哈哈！真高兴不用搭台。

招牌虾子捞面... err... 面是不错啦，只不过那虾子...

超大的 deep fried wanton 其实不会油腻咧！

鲜虾云吞面，不错！

The way to a man's heart is through his stomach. Just look at the grin on his face!

澳门的路名都简单到有点好笑，例如这是大炮台斜巷，是前往大炮台的一条很斜的巷子，哈哈！

真的很斜！呼！呼！怎么他都不等我的？

Finally reached the top! Can you spot the standing wall of the Ruins of St Paul's? Faraway in the background across the sea, that's Zhuhai.

Grand Lisboa and Macau Tower, the two landmarks that we saw everywhere we went around at Macau Peninsula.

大炮！

After this trip, I have figured out every possible route of getting to 大炮台!

On the viewing level of 大三巴. Look at the crowd below!

Super crowded street leading back to Senado Square.

我要合照，但他却说“不要！我不喜欢！”，下了我一跳。原来他不喜欢这布置。

瑪嘉烈餅店

还是人山人海啊！

他说好吃！当然啦，是我排队买的咧，大少爷坐在那儿等吃就可以了！

The man can eat! After the very “奶”egg tarts, he could still eat the very “奶”steamed milk!

After that, we went across the road away from Senado Square. I remember on my previous trip, the lady at the Tourist Information Centre told me that there are some architectural stuff to be seen in that area.

Walking up another 斜巷，I noticed that govt. cars are green! Well, at least those from 民政總署are.

Ok, I guess this is it! The architectural stuff.

I'm quite fond of the building style actually. Feels rather quaint and tranquil.

While the mister was resting his feet, I went to check out the poo station for doggies.

In Macau, they seemed fond of hanging these pretty flower pots on the street lamps.

View of a back alley.

Parking space for motorbikes? Feels like Taiwan.

走着走着，又见Macau Tower!

Portuguese-styled wall and floor along the street.

Lisboa

Wynn (and MGM Grand behind it)

Musical Fountain Show at Wynn

Ceiling with the 12 Zodiacs...

... which would open up for 2 very cheesy dragon and golden tree shows...

Portuguese Style Baked Fish

African Chicken (1/2)

Yummy! As evident in the man's satisfied smile. Hehe!
