Macau's good picks, besides gambling & women *heheh*
|
|
Here'r the things I think as good as gambling & women, if not
better than that :>
Cozinha Pinocchio is located in old urban food street in Taipa,
adjoin Macao Jockey Club, nearby Macao Stadium & Taipa Village. It's just 10 mins taxi from Macao Ferry Terminals or 5
mins from Macao Int'l Airport. Founded in 1977 by Mr D.M. Pina, Cozinha Pinocchio is the first Portuguese restaurant providing
authentic Portuguese and Macanese fare in Taipa (and the 2nd branch was open in Zhuhai in 1997).
I like the house specialty 'Stir fried curry crab', 'Stuffed
prawns with spicy garlic sauce', US Prime Rib-eye is not bad too! It opens from 11:45 ~ 23:45 daily. And now you can reserve
your seat online, check at www.cozinha-pinocchio.com

You know what is kewl to buy in
Macau?? Go to the pawn shop! You can find any style watches, jewel at the reasonable prices! I just found the style I like
for CARTIER watches!! And more better, you know most shops won't sell you counterfeit things ;) There are a lot of pawn shops
around the casino places, and don't forget to see the luxurious artifacts at Lisboa Casino (even they're just imitation, still
worth going to have a look!)
| Lobby of Venetian Hotel, Taipa, Macau |
|
Nowadays, Macau is full of casinoes, the total revenue is override that of Vegas. The Venetian Hotel is one of the
latest and largest. It has hotel, condo, casino, big shopping mall along the grand river. It's a good experience to come and
see, and enjoy the free drink in casino and the nice and clean with gold plated toilets. ;) The food at food court is acceptable,
or you can choose those fancy resturants located inside the hotel.

| Koi Kei near St Paul Ruin Facade |
|
When talking about souvenirs, I found that nowadays many new shops open in
Macau to sell you all different local specialty food.
Pastelaria Koi Kei is the one I 'd recommend. They have many branches, and the staff are
so helpful and friendly. I don't like much the peanut candy (though it's freshly handmade daily by the boss Mr Leung).
Rather, the dried lemon, dried beef/pork slices and almond cakes are my favorite.
Don't worry, you won't have problem to find one of their shops around those tourist places!
The Macao Museum of Art is situated besides the Macao Cultural Centre and
it is the largest Museum of cultural relics and arts in Macao.

I went there to see Renoir and Guine exhibit ;)
I like to paint things that can attract me. If it is a scenery, it
must attract me to go for a visit; if it is a lady, she must attract me to go and embrace her ~ by Renoir, Pierre-Auguste

Macau is just like a close resort to HK, and you can still feel and enjoy
the exotic aroma as it was the ex-portuguese colony.
