At last, the food is here. I know many of you have been waiting for this entry.
CK Lam, Allie, SlowCatchUpKuan, CindyC … I know how much you guys indulge in food blogging, as trust me, I like to eat as much as you do! Hehe thank you very much for your comments, you guys inspired me to blog even more! Here you go with the food from Macao.
One step at a time, k? Jordin Sparks taught me this way.
So, what is the most-freaking-famous food in Macao? I bet you guys should have noticed the preview of my post in my *NEW* “Coming Up Next” sidebar section. Portuguese Egg Tart it is, and hence a prolonged introduction.
As many of you might know, Macau used to be colonized by the Portuguese for quite sometime and the cultural exchange is almost as much like some of the Serani’s in Malacca. Even now, wherever you go in Macao, there is signboards written in Portuguese language. But the funny thing is, when you ask any of the Chinese locals, they do not understand a single word of Portuguese, and the Portuguese locals,…they do not know anything much about the Chinese. Hmm…not much cultural exchange though, but definitely not for food.

The first thing when you hear the word “Macao” or “Macau”, what does your brain interpret?
Honestly, it is none other than C-A-S-I-N-O, rite?
FYI, Macau consistst of three islands, The Macau Peninsula as the main island and also The Isles of Taipa (Cotai Strip) and Coloane that are closely linked by bridges. This Special Administration Region (S.A.R) of Macao is indeed famous of being the tourist spot for gambling and gaming. Otherwise, it is also known as the “Las Vegas” of Asia. The latest addition of casino is of course The Venetian Macao, yet another multi-million investment by Las Vegas tycoon Sheldon Adelson. There’s so many casinos in this tourism-based island. Every 5 mins of walk around the Macao Peninsula, you will bump into another entrance of casino. Even when you walked into a hotel, you will eventually be led into the casino first, before you can get yourself registered for a room. Gambling comes first, then only accomodation.
The best thing is that the hotel concierge and the casino stewards really treat you with first class services, even if you are not gambling, or just pretending to be gambling. They serve you with fruit juices and snacks, all free of charge, just as long as you are eligible to enter the casino. Nice huh? Myself and my family went to most of the well known casinos like The Venetian Macao, MGM Grand, Wynn, Casino Lisboa, Grand Lisboa Casino. Just entertain ourselves with some petty bets, so that I can proudly tell my friends and relatives that I’ve gambled in Macao before! LOL

At last, I managed to spend some time to blog about my travel. Should have blogged about this Macao trip of mine long time ago. Let me begin with the planning part.
Trip Objective: Food Galore and Budget Travelling
For a budget trip, as usual, Air Asia provides the cheapest air ticket all the way from LCCT in Sepang to Macao International Airport. Needless to say, I managed to get my return tickets for roughly around RM300++ of which I booked 3 months prior to my trip.

Most people would take this budget airline transit before making their way ultimately to Hong Kong as this is rather a cheaper alternative if you don’t want to spend extra money for travelling on a direct flight. Not for my case, my trip does not include Hong Kong as my mom, my elder brother and I decided to spend more time travelling in Macao and Zhuhai in this 4D 3N trip. So, 2 days Zhuhai, 2 days Macao… just nice. Read the rest of this entry »

Desmond-t is a man of his word. At least he is now posting about his trip, although it was so long ago…
Still fresh in his memory, he was there at The Venetian Macao on the 1st of July, 2008. Coincidently, it was the National Day of Hong Kong.
He never realized that it was a super-peak-season at that time. Gosh, all the “demi-gods” alike businessmen were already all guns blazing to slit all the tourists’ throats. Prices were unseemingly “expensive”. What’s more when it’s in a 99-star resort hotel? Hmm, you figure it out how much it costs for a bowl of Wan Than Mee in the Venetian Food Festivita a.k.a Food Court.
A whopping RM40 for god’s sake! Further thanks to our “strong” currency and so-called economic stability. Erm, that makes the food even more tantalizing than usual. Enough said.
This combo of Chee Cheong Fun and Chicken Congee cost approximately RM 50!
