T&J Travels #4: Hongkong-Macau 2016 (Part 3)
As to why the Museum was free for the day is a surprise to us (we never bothered asking) and took the chance to roam around. We always enjoy museums and I loved the presentation of the exhibits. It did look like the best way to enjoy it is coming from the top to bottom, where the history of Macau was "narrated". I most especially loved the miniatures and the food spread! Those wax dishes looks tasty!
When we got out of the museum we had snacks near the Ruins. We got egg tarts and those beef and fish balls. Quite expensive.
In our second day in another country it was such a novelty to me hearing so many people who are openly speaking in our language, one was even yelling over someone the phone. For the entire time we were at Macau for some reason every Filipino is at the Senado Square!
We then set out to find this egg tart shop which was hard to find (our GPS is stupidly pointing us nowhere) and found it in area we thought weren't there.
+ Margaret's Cafe e Nata +
A really small shop but with a long queue, we were adamant in taking the line as well. But when we saw how quick the turnaround was, we tried our luck.
We didn't stay since the tables are fully packed, so we ate them instead while we were walking. It was tons better than the one we had at the Square, the ratio of the tart and the filling is much better on this one.
+ The Venetian +
It seems like the GPS is a fail again. Our apps no matter how we checked it had stops that weren't in any way called over the prompter that we ended on a bus terminal. It was sort of a good mistake, because it had pointed us to another terminal of free shuttles for casinos, one of which was the Venetian that came a few minutes when we reached the queue.
It was really cute, they even had the sky painted you would forget the cloudy weather outside. We didn't get gondolas but we did get there to get egg tarts at Lord Stows. It's funny how Reagan seemed to have liked this the best I bet if we eat another egg tart from somewhere it would be his favorite again. I would have loved to shop but I was holding myself back. There are tons of shops with prices that I'm comfortable with! Again, something I would love to do someday when we're back.
For very late lunch we tried porkchop buns from Tai Lei Loi Kei, a popular brand for porkchop buns. I'm not a fan of the bread, it was quite hard but the porkchop I would have loved to be paired with rice. For a sandwich I can't understand why the bone was kept though.
We didn't have time to explore Macau better unfortunately so we simply headed back to HK via another shuttle which luckily brought us to the same port we came out earlier. We had another meal at Mcdonalds when we were back to finally taste those Gudetama burgers with rice in replacement of bread. It wasn't as delicious as it was on the photo though :-(
The entire night later on was another moment of getting lost. We failed to watch the light show and were going around in circles a few more when we looked for our hostel as well. We found it eventually but decided to walk a little bit more. We got in on the mall right in front of Chungking Mansions (can't remember the name) and got ourselves a proper dinner at Te.
