Macau & Hk!

i deleted my blog..=(
everything went upside down..and was missing..
so yea..

anyways..jus came back from my nice get-away trip to macau and hk..
left to macau on the 8th(tue)and the night before i didnt sleep at all..
flight was in the morning..left the hse at 4am..and i only packed that night itself..lol..
was there for 3 days and took a ferry across to hk..
went there with mum and i met up with mr panda chopstick tong..hahahha..xD
he took us around hk for the couple of days..and i've to admit i had lotsa fun..
we both were soo random..and ended up doing and realising lots of funny lil things..

DAY 1(MACAU)

the cab came at 4am sharp..i only went to bed at 3.15 and mum woke me up 5 mins later..
hahah..nudge billy at that morning since he's a midnight owl..
it took us 3 hours plus to reach macau..
reached at around 10++am headed straight to our hotel..

mum being random..lol..
Holiday Inn Macau

after checking in..we took a bus and our lovely map around...to Senado Square..

Senado Square..
a tourist area..to shop..eat..walk around..lots of things to see..

the McD there was huge..

had our lunch in this quite famous chinese restaurant (Wong Chi Kei) that serves nice noodles but we too much of msg..=/

St. Dominic's Church..

caught mum red handed coming out from the confession thingy..

and our inital plan was to go the Ruined's of St Paul on the next day..but we didnt know we could jus walked there from Senado Square which takes only 10 mins..

Ruineds of St Paul
Is this Familiar?
We always see this on tv..

Its actually jus a piece of building in the middle..
with staircase at the back for us to walk up..
&&& those downstairs can actually look up because the staircase has hole in it..and i was wearing a SKIRT..>.< hahaha..didnt dare to walk but mum was like..'faster laaaa'..lol..

the view from the top..

we went back to the hotel after that to clean up..
jus before we left in the evening..while waiting for the shuttle bus..
i was jus fooling around with mum by setting the timer of my camera and camwhore..
the concierge guy was nice and he offered to took a pic for us..

i think its a lil dark..but oh well..=)

Sands Hotel at the back and on the left is Macau Fisherman's Wharf..
The hotels here are like those in Vegas with casino..All of'em..

Macau Fisherman's Wharf..
Its DEAD..totally..
its was well decorated but the advertising for this was really bad..
no tourist at all..or should i say..no one at all..

in MGM Hotel..
its in vegas tooo!
ps*edwin doesnt this panda reminds u of urself?lol..xD

moving on,we walked to Hotel Grand Lisboa..
one of the top hotels in macau with really huge casino..

DAY 2

had their very own famous Pork Chop Bun(Ju Pa Bao) for b'fast..

We had no where to go..
as we covered most of the place we wanted to go in macau..
visited a temple..and we sat there for almost an hour to wait for time to past to wait for a Portugese Restaurant to open..
the Restaurant standard was something like my training place..
if we came a lil later..the restaurant's full..cos we walked in without reservation..

A Lorcha Restaurant..

For portugese cuisine..
they're most likely famous for their african chicken..clams and cant really rmb..prawn!yea..
we had grilled prawn with garlic and chilli flakes..african chicken..
mum had macau beer..=D
and for dessert we had stewed apple with port wine..which looks like rotten apple..

us during lunchie..

after lunch we took a bus to the so called 'Tea culture Musuem' which was disappointing..
it was jus a plain building which has nothing in it..wasted our effort..and to a Lou Lei Garden which was disappointing too..=(
took us a long journey to walked all the way there jus to take a pic..-.-

The Garden..

in the evening..we took a bus to Taipa Island..
the so called Cotia Strip..
they're under construction..trying to construct it into Vegas Strip in Vegas..
and in that island..the very famous City of Dreams(hard rock macau) is there and The Venetian Hotel..
its similar to the one in Vegas..
went to the one in Vegas before and this one was smaller and nothing much as i saw the one in Vegas before..

The Venetian

a slight Jazz performance in the middle of the casino of venetian..
mum asked me to picked up jazz to..
i want..but i need a parner..=/

they had this mermaid in the entrance of the city of dreams hotel..

haha...and so happen another mermaid appeared..lol..xD

City OF Dreams,Hard Rock Macau..
Like the badges..=D and bear!!

while we were there,we managed to catch they show they have almost every 30 mins..
its called The Bubble Show..

it was quite unique in a way..

we were all in a bubble formed looking theatre..
and it wasnt a laser show but i dont know how to describe..
had 5 dragons and this was 1 of them..nice!
the show lasted around 15-20 mins..

after that we had a buffet dinner in the casino..lol..

Golden Pavillion(Asian Restaurant)

the long queue..and we got bored?

DAY 3 (Hong Kong)

Checked out in the morning and we took a ferry across to hong kong..
had a 1 hour ride in the ferry..
took a cab again as it was quite far from the ferry terminal to the mtr station..
checked in and we walked out to look for food..our brunch..

but still all thanks to him we had the chance to dine there..=)
for all the hard work of preparing and the stress he had gone through for this menu..appreciate it lots..
we dine in a french restaurant called les celebrites.

our fine heavenly dinner..
our starter..we had bread..fresh oyster(yummilicous) and also the duck sauce at the bottom left..suppose to dip with bread and it..

it was a semi-buffet too.
they had varieties of starters which includes japanese food,desserts and seafood(lobsters,prawns,mussels and crabs)
look at the number of cakes..

just when the first course(appetizer) was served..
edwin joined us for the dinner..
he didnt want too but his chef asked him too..=D

Sashimi Tartar(tuna and scallop)
with a poor lil live fish at the bottom..

2nd Course: Onion Soup..

the parsley goes perfectly with the salmon.
LOVED it..
its considered as light main course..

last but not least..
finally to our main course.
the BEST of all..

Main Course: A Half land and Half Sea Creature Dish..
we were given a choice to choose on what we want for our 'land' dish..
