HongKong Macau trip with GFs

1 March - 5 March 2012, Macau & Hong Kong

We planned our itinerary around food prior to our trip. Since all of us went HK before, we decided to skip all the touristy place like Avenue of Stars, Disney land etc and focus only on FOOD!

Our 1st stop: Macau!

Since we only stayed for a night, we decided to splurge and stay in the Venetian Hotel. It's really very beautiful and grand!

Our hotel suite was superb. Two queen size bed, an enormous toilet equipped with shower head and bath tube, and a TV area. Big enough for 4 of us to stay comfortably!

Used the iphone app Pcamera to capture the panoramic view of our room.

Our next destination after check-in is to find the macau famous pork chop bun!

We were all wrapped up because it was so coooold! I think it was 13-15 degrees when we got there.

The ruins of the St. Paul is the only tourist place we went to for the entire trip. We hurriedly left the place after the shots to look for our dinner!

Wanton mee, crab porridge for dinner! Yumms. Follow by the super-ultra-awesome Portuguese egg tarts from Stow's! We had it two days in  row.

We hotel hopped when it turns dark. All the hotels are connected by their free shuttle bus, so we didn't spend  a single cent on transport! Even hitting the Macau streets from our hotel was FOC too, thanks to the free buses.

We visited Galaxy hotel, the newest hotel in Macau. And some others which I can't remember.

I still feel that Venetian is the best though, in terms of theme and beauty. :)

The artificial sky gives me the impression that its day time though it was already pitch dark outside.

I was really impressed with the gondoliers, as they can really sing! Their voice would echo down the streets, into the restaurants. At 1st i thought it was the music radio haha.

We didnt gamble at all, though we did tour the casino. We were quite excited and ready to put our stakes but were put off by the smoke. euuukk. So we head back to hotel room instead.

We covered where we want to cover, ate whatever we set out to eat during the 1.5 day in Macau!

Next stop: Hong Kong!

Our 1st meal in HK - polo bun, gong zai mee and milk tea! This cha chan ting serves one of the best polo bun around! No kidding!

We stayed in Royal Plaza, one of the few hotels that has rooms big enough for 4 pax. It has superb location too! In Mongkok, and a bridge away from our all time favourite fa yuen street.

This small dim sum restaurant is one-star michelin star rated! It has a seating capacity of 20. Opens at 10am but if you want to be in the 1st seating, you'll have to start que-ing at 9am.

Loads of Singaporeans que-ing behind us! We were lucky to be in the 1st seating hehe.

Breakfast at Australia dairy was incredible. Simple bread with scrambled eggs taste heavenly! If only the expensive brunch dining places in SG has their standards.

We had the Curry fishball EVERY NIGHT. It's the best!!

My gfs are either really skinny, or petite. But they never fail to amaze me with the no. of food they ordered, yet able to finish them.

We stretched our stomach to the max for this trip haha. Too greedy!

One of my favourite meal during the trip - steamboat at little sheep! It the bestest and the yummiest steamboat i've tasted. I love the soup and the fried fish skin!
I swear that we were greedy beyond hope because we had the hearty meal at 11.30PM!!

We had this supper combination for two consecutive nights! It's either xu liu shan or gong cha for drinks, sweet potato, curry fishball, pig skin, cuttlefish, poofy egg thingy (dan zai) and my porridge.

Did i mention i'm a sucker for porridge? :D

The only disappointment from this trip was shopping. There wasn't much to buy, even the tung chung outlet let us down.

We were stressed up over souvenirs for our friends, families and Bfs. I bought nothing but food back for my family and wr.

Thankfully for colourmix (a chain store in HK akin to SASA), we found dirt cheap CrabTree&Evelyn handcreams. We stocked up loads on that!! So cheap that i lug at least 5 boxes back home. Not to mention cheap taiwan facemasks too!

It was great fun traveling with the girls to HK! We were equally greedy and constantly thinking of food...where to eat, what time should we eat, what to eat etc. We were also planning for  similar foodie trip next year, this time round with our bfs! So then they could help carry our bags haha!
