The Vegas of the East. Crazy ass sedap Portuguese Egg Tarts. And the list goes on. It wasn't easy to travel especially with an injured shoulder for a 5D4N HK-Macau trip, but we reaped the best there is to offer in this city.
Clockwise L-R: Casino Lisboa, Macau Beer & famous Portuguese Egg Tart
We arrived in Macau at about 2pm, settled into our AirBnB and took the opportunity to check out the tourist heritage. Followed the so called 'map' by our host, but instead we got so freaking lost. Tried to walk all the way to Senado Square, and in some back alley, spotted this place that served noodles. We were already famished and close to passing out from hunger. Macau's food is much more expensive than Hong Kong. Can you imagine MOP 40 (Approx 25) for plain wantan noodles??
Read from blogs that the beef brisket noodles are a must! But they were already sold out by 3pm. Couldn't understand the chinese menu but thank god for photos and some simple english description! Cantonese also setengah tiang, so just did the guessing game. I tried the hand made fish paste +chicken feet noodle soup while my sis tried the fish paste + pork noodle soup. Somehow too much fat in her pork, prolly leftovers from lunch. Nevertheless, we savoured it all in a go! Total bill came up to MOP90 (Approx RM48).
Very flavourful broth (tad salty for my liking). Fish paste+ chicken feet noodle soup on left & fish paste+pork noodle soup on right.
I've not had this before. Steamed milk pudding is a popular dessert in Hong Kong/Macau and OMG both me & my sis lost count of how much we had in two days. Read from other blogs Leitria I-Son is much popular, but I think this tasted so much better. Just lookout for this sign. Couldn't read the menu (see below photo) but just pointed to what others were having. I think they have a lot of variety here, looking at the long list of menu. Verdict? So smooth, not overly sweet and milky pudding! Was so over the moon when I finished my bowl.
Must try. This store was located at the shops right before Casino Lisboa. Costs MOP30/bowl (approx RM17).
Koma telur!! Egg Coma!! You have to try Portuguese Egg Tart in Macau! For me, the taste is about the same, much better than Malaysia's. Always served warm and crispy. Buttery crispy crust, with slight burn on egg custard. Sensational and causes drool with every bite. You can get this at almost any corner in Macau while sightseeing at Senado Square.
This cost MOP10 (approx RM5) and Koi Kei bakery not only sells egg tarts but also the local famous biscuits. They have a lot of great stuff like egg rolls, almond biscuits and peanut candied stuff. You'll see almost all tourists will buy from them or receive these gifts from your friends who've been here. Always try out their free samples before you decide to buy.
In Senado Square area, food can be quite limited. Unless you want to try their Mc Donalds which wouldn't be much different than most franchises worldwide. This is Wong Chi Kei (similar to Hong Kong, signage is not tourist friendly). You can easily spot this and check out the waiting line for dinner. Read online that this is a must try for wantan noodles.
Random pre-wedding shooting as we walked from Venetian to Taipa Village, a transition of one world to another.
Taipa Village is an interesting place, where you have Spanish & Chinese influence and pretty much similar to what you'll find in Senado Square. Read from other blogs that the crab porridge is a must try here.
Quite pricey if you'd ask me. Ordered the smaller portion for 165 MOP. Kinda too much for two person and what we got was not as good as menu photo.
Bowl was as big as family sized soup bowl, but only half a crab? Sorry but the Macau crab ain't as sweet and delish as Malaysian crab.
Seng Cheong Restaurant - for me, it's 6/10.
