Hong Kong and Macau Trip (back dated to 7-11 Sept 2013) Part 3 Macau and Central District

Day 3: Day trip to Macau. We left our hotel early and walked to China Ferry Terminal to take the earliest ferry to Macau. It supposed to be a good ferry ride but it turned out to be a chaotic one when the Chinese people made stupid fussy request, not obeying command and gave us a "NO" peace ride all the way to Macau.. Thanks, you guys are great! 

If you want to travel around Macau for free, make sure that you have made a thorough research for all the free rides via the casinos! And make sure that you get a Macau map before you leave the terminal... Do not change too much of MOP because not worth if to change back to HKD, moreover they accept HKD if you don't have MOP. And casinos only accept HKD...

Ferry terminal at Macau, hopped on a bus to the nearest casino which is walking distance away from Senado Square.. 

Breakfast at Leitaria I Son 義顺牛奶公司 (No 7 Largo Senada) for ginger milk pudding and double skin steamed milk pudding.. Must try in Macau...

Can't wait for her first bite on the tart! =p 

Senado Square... Tourist spot in Macau 

If you have time, do visit this church museum..  Very interesting site to visit!

 Walk and walk uphill to look for the Macau Museum..

But sadly, it was not opened for every Monday! Take note guys... 

Walked downhill again to look for this, Ruin's of St Paul.. 

Souvenir for everyone, traditional egg biscuits.. MOP 80 for one box! Recommended from a blog! Worth for the money and time that we have waited for this...

Instant noodles with curry fish ball while waiting for the biscuits.. 

Lunch time.. Famous duck rice in Macau.. As expected, another long queue... 

Black pepper duck rice, MOP 30 for one.. At least you must try... Not too bad but a bit too expensive.. 

 It's a MUST to visit casinos in Macau..



We didn't spend much time in Macau because we really have nothing to do in Macau unless we want to gamble. So we went back to Hong Kong early as 3 of us were really exhausted, had an early dinner and rest early for the day!

 Wanton noodle at Zhan Zai Gei, Central District. Not too bad but the portion was a bit too small..

Dessert time at some hidden street @ Central District.. Recommended by a blog and it was really worth to find for this stall! 


And lastly, we went to Lan Kwai Fong to see but not for a drink! =p

Hong Kong and Macau Trip (back dated to 7-11 Sept 2013) Part 2

Day 2 was all about Ocean Park and Avenue of Stars! Right after our breakfast at nearby restaurant, we took the MTR to Admiralty station and went on the city bus to Ocean Park. If you happened to see people are selling cheap tickets at the bus station, you may consider those! No discount price for early birds or book via their website. Make sure that you allocate the whole day for the theme park because it was to huge to venture every corner of the theme park...

Macau breakfast at TST... Milk tea, Portuguese egg tarts and pork burger breakfast! 

 Bus station at MTR Admiralty station

 Theme park day at Ocean Park. Many people were just waiting for them to open. Make sure that you get a guide about walking around and the showtime for the performances at different place.

Panda feeding time.. 

 Performance at the bird park


Game time with long long long and long queues.. Choose whichever you wanted to play most..

 And snapping picture time.. =)

Take a bus and train ride back to TST before 8.00 pm for Symphony of Lights. We reached there early, so that we can walk along the Avenue of Stars to take pictures.. Look out for your idols! =)

Avenue of Stars.. Really "People Mountain, People Sea"...


She found hers! =) 

Dinner time at Mongkok Complex at ShangHai St. Look for this stall 
Macau Tsui Yuen Café 澳门翠碗茶餐室

Pork's Neck Curry Farmer's bun.. Highly recommended.. You will never regret after taking all the trouble to look for this place.. =)

Map to walk around in Hong Kong for the famous streets

Very tiring day 2... To be continued..

Hong Kong and Macau Trip (back dated to 7-11 Sept 2013) Part 1

I didn't realise that I have left this out after I came back from Hong Kong after a long long time! It was my very first time to Hong Kong and Macau and I have been warned by many of my friends about their attitude especially when you are at a restaurant or coffee shop! Ha-ha.. Anyway, it was a very nice experience to be there... 

To eat and stay in Hong Kong and Macau are really expensive. Nothing that you eat can be below RM 10 except 7-Eleven. So make sure that you bring more money in your wallet rather than exchange your money over there because the exchange rate is really expensive as well.. 

So after leaving the airport, we went straight to our budget hotel which is located right inside of Tsim Sha Tsui. To travel from the airport is really convenient, so everything that you plan can be set on the time! After checking in, we had our first meal before heading to Ngong Ping.

 First meal, pork chop noodle, pork chop bun and milk tea... All the must order food in Hong Kong! Highly recommended... But one advice is that make sure that you don't ask so much and order fast! =)

After a quick lunch at TST, we travelled to Ngong Ping via MTR and bus because the cable car service was not available at that time. Once again I need to say that their public transport system was really good!

 Bus station to Ngong Ping, located right beside of the cable car station!


Ngong Ping.. With the Buddha statue seated at the top of the hill...

If you are interested to have vegetarian lunch there, you may opt so at the temple.. 

Time for a walk at Wisdom Path.. 



The hill near Wisdom Path for hiking! 


 Dessert time aka tea break but a disappointed one.. Worse than those in Malaysia and the saddest part was they charged us an extra dollar for one spoon! Damn it!


 We went for a show (Walking with Buddha with 4D effect) before we went back to Yau Ma Tei for dinner =)


First dinner at Four Season Claypot Rice 四季煲仔饭,46-58 Arthur St... Really good oyster omelette and claypot chicken rice with one or two dishes within!

Second dinner at Wai Kee 威记, Temple St. Night Market.. Too many to choose, so we just randomly picked one. Something special about the mantis prawns (salted pepper style) but the beef  kuey teow was bad!

Just part of our supper for the day.. Grilled sausages and squid tentacles, pan cakes.. And don't forget to try their fresh coconut milk drink at Mongkok!

End of day 1... To be continued...
