Family Trip #1: Macau

My mom has been complaining about how dull my blog is lately. After so much urging by her to update, here's an entry on our family trip which happened three weeks ago. Its basically more on sightseeing, historical buildings, foods and our faces, lol! I do not know why it takes me so long to write this entry, it has been keeping inside the draft folder since last week, anyhoo, enjoy reading okie!

We spent two days in Macau. First day morning, had dim sum breakfast in Lung Wah restaurant. A very authentic chinese restaurant, established since 1962 and still going strong. Famous for their dim sum (of course) and their nostalgic decor inside the restaurant. What make it more interesting is, the menu is hand-written in calligraphy and they use abacus to calculate our bill instead of the mechanical calculator we used to seen. Cool!

But the foods kinda disappoint us as they provide limited dim sum choices and the don't taste as fabulous as others described. Maybe our expectations were too high?!

Like this pic a lot! Parents intimating in the public, tsk tsk. ;p

There were many artists patronage Lung Wah before, like Chow Yun Fat, Cho Tat Wah, well-known  food critics- Tou Tou and Chua Lan.

 

Building behind us was Correios de Macau meaning Posts of Macau.

The Cathedral - after reconstructed

Enjoying street foods- Curry fish balls, pancakes, waffles, and ice cream.

We can really eat. Right after those snacks, we went straight to Margaret Cafe to hunt for their fresh baked portugese egg tarts. Yums! Mom's favorite!

So lucky to get a seat without the need to queue.

Crispy pastry with burning hot egg custards. Hmm... perfect match!

Your trip to Macau wouldn't be complete if you didn't pay a visit to the largest casino group in Macau, the Grand Lisboa Casino Hotel.

We actually took quite a lot of pics in the lobby, will upload everything in FB later.

We all love big mirrors.

See how tilt the above pic is? Lesson learn, buy a tripod stand to help in taking group pic.

Dinner was at O Porto Interior Portugese Restaurant strongly recommended by locals here.

As their saying goes, O Porto Interior provides the best and most authentic Portugese cuisines.

The four most commented dishes: Roasted sucking pig, roasted duck rice, baked coconut chicken in Portugese style and Balcalhau balls (salted cod fish).Oh and not forgetting the must-order drink, Sangria, its a typical Portugal wine punch consists of red wine, chopped fruits, honey, some spirits and spices. Special!

Our first time trying out portugese foods, it was indeed a satisfied meal.

Angel joined us for dinner.
