Macau Madness

Tired reading our journey yet? I hope not ;D
It was such a coincidence that my cousin was in HK, too.
She came over to the ferry terminal to meet me.

AND AGAIN, CHEEZY CHEESE FOR BREAKFAST :p
So.... we took the 2.30 pm ferry to Macau.
We almost missed the sail. LOL
we were the last passengers to get in and we were running like mad.
and it was the start of the madness.
Btw, i got sea sickness :(

So after we arrived at Macau, we bought sim card and then went to our hotel.
The hotel was a lot bigger and better than the one in HK.
We stayed nearby St. Paul; a hotel called Royal Hotel.
We did chill for a while before we went out because we were quite tired.
We went to St. Paul that afternoon and then walk around the area.
We tried the egg tart from both Koi Kei Bakery and Choi Heong Yuen Bakery.
We all agree that the one from Choi Heong Yuen is better.
(and still by the end of the trip, Choi Heong Yuen's egg tart is the best of all)
Left: Koi Kei. Right: Choi Heong Yuen.
At night, we wanted to eat duck. So we found this place from foursquare and we give it a try.
Because we are such a "heavy" eater, we ate these street food from a stall opposite the duck shop.
And it taste bad actually. the red sauce that looks good and we thought it is spicy, turns out to be sour...
It ruins the whole thing...
After we ate, we walked back to our hotel (because no taxi wanted us. they said it is just a few minutes walk. so they don't want to take us).
We stumbled accross beautiful buildings on our way back.
 
Because i was sooooo damn full, i need smth sour to wash it down.
So there was a bubble tea shop that was still open ... the drink is quite good.

17th March 2015

So the 2nd day in Macau, we were quite relaxing.
We decided to be awake without alarm because we've been very hectic for the past few days.
So we all woke up around 2 pm. it was one of the best sleep ever hahaha
I helped regina with her hair because she is simply too slow ... :p
We went to Galaxy and then Venetian that day.
There's nothing much in Galaxy so after we ate, we went to Venetian.
Me and Claudia were very hungry and we saw this choux pastry thing and there we go...
Well i would say that Beard Papa is better.
These are Xiao Long Bao with mantou bun. It tastes good, but the chili is extremely salty.
This fries are gooddddddd. Besides its generous portion, they use real potato as well :9
And the cheese ....
After the snacks and light meals, we got to Tsui Wah Restaurants and had our "real" meal.
Even though, i was quite full that time, i couldn't resist goose and spicy food and also polo bun.
Sounds like i can't resist everything right? :p
This beef is da booombbbbb me likeyyyyyyyyy
and the Polo bun from Tsui Wah is the best one i've ever tried so far.
LOVE IT DAMN MUCH! This is a MUST to eat.
Venetian
I found this famous egg tart from Lord Stow's Bakery. 
And i honestly still prefer the one from Choi Heong Yuen's.

18th March 2015

We got this guide book of Macau from the hotel and i saw this place called Senado Square.
So i said to them that i want to go there. We got no plan for today anyway.
We took the cab and guess what?
Senado square is the shops near St. Paul HAHA
So we were back to the same place we went on the first day.
I feel so stupid ... LOL
Anyway, we went to this little cafe that sells Pork Chop bun.
They serve it with polo bun also. So i got the polo bun with cheese.
I wrote on the order list that i want to add egg but i guess they just don't understand it.
So it came without egg ...
Nevertheless, it's still good because it's Polo bun ;D 
but still, can't beat the one from Tsui Wah hehehe
After eating, we walked around and we came across Choi Heong Yuen's Bakery and i just couldn't resist the egg tart.
After quite some time, we were bored with the place and we decided to go back to Venetian.
We know there's a bus to get there, but we didn't know the bus number.
So we saw this bus that says "Border Gate" passing by, and there's a bus stand in front us.
We stood there and waited for a couple of minutes and saw another "Border Gate" bus passing by.
By then, we realize that we were waiting at the wrong bus stand.
Apparently, there's another bus stand further front. LOL
So finally we sat the bus and guess what?
We didn't know where and when we'll be stopping.
When the bus looks like it's going to go back to Macau city, we got down.
In the middle of somewhere...
We were clueless, so we decided to take the cab. HAHAHA
Went to Venetian and strolled around. and watched a show.
From the food stalls nearby bus stand.
Macau bores us very quickly ...
We headed back to Macau city at night and went to Pizza Hut.
It is the most high-class Pizza Hut restaurant i've ever seen.
It looks like a fine dining place.
it's definitely completely different from the ones in Indonesia.
However, the price is also very high. almost triple the price in Indonesia.
Cheese pizza with cornflakes crust. You can tell that they definitely use high quality cheeses.
After dinner, we went to Senado Square and found this scrumptious lok-lok.
The seller is from indonesia and has been in HK for several years and move to Macau few years ago.
The chili sauce is spicy and damn good!
Highly recommend you to eat it if you ever come accross Senado Square.

19th March 2015

Flying back home today :(
And we were almost late for our flight.
Our hotel is not the most convenient place to call a taxi.
We waited for more than 30 minutes to get a taxi.
At first, we thought that we'll need 2 taxis, because we got so many things.
But then the bell boy said that we can squeeze into 1 taxi as we were quite late already.
And tell you what, the driver is a woman...
we were very impatient seeing her driving.
She was like very slow and not even trying to cut the line.
We, thankfully, arrived in time.
But then, we found out that our flight is delayed.
DAMN IT.
 
We ate McDonald's for breakfast. 
When we reached Bangkok, we ate McDonald's again.
We were hoping to get the cheesy cheese, but they don't have it in Bangkok.
But they do have the taro pie :9
They also have this savory pie which i can't remember what exactly it is.
I also ate the Chocolate Oreo Doughnut from Krispy Kreme.
The trip surely feel short.
I wish we travelled in a longer period.
Anyway, thank you for my beloved :p brother for making this trip happened to me.
And also the girls on this trip, without y'all, it will never happen either.
Looking forward to more trips, guys! <3<3<3
Adventure never ends ;p

Hong Kong "Cheezy Cheese"

Finally, now i'm able to write and post this.
It's quite late due to my human-error problem.
I forgot to bring my memory card with me when i came back to KL. 
But thanks to my awesome friend, Derric, he brought it back to me! 
(Thanks Derric! i know you won't be reading this but yeah ...)
Anyway, Thanks to my brother for giving me this trip for my birthday present :3 You're the best!

Before i get to story, i want to tell y'all that don't choose air asia for a transit flight.
I SWEAR it was terrible. Unless you have no choice then bear with it. 
We supposed to have a transit flight thru Bangkok, and the night before the flight, we received an email stating that our flight has been rescheduled to a later time. 
If the flight is delayed, we won't be able to catch our next flight. So we called to the customer service and ask about it. Then they said our flight will not be rescheduled.
The next morning, when we were on our way to the airport, we received another email stating that our flight has been changed the transit to  KL and it was an earlier flight than the one going to Bangkok. Thankfully, it was only a 30-min difference. 

So, anyway, HK day 1.
We reached there at night. So we straight away went to our hotel and check-in.
Apparently, we wore and BROUGHT the WRONG CLOTHES.
It's was so cold that time. I think it was around 14C to 16C.
Thankfully i wore long sleeve and i brought few jackets with me.
Anyway, after we settled everything, we were very hungry. 
We wanted to go to this Temple Night Market by cab, but then no one wants to bring us there. 
We waited for so long and we decided to find the MTR. 


We asked the guy who sells fruit because he can speak a bit of chinese and we walked pass by the shop.
Although the fruit he sells are pretty expensive, we bought this because we feel bad for asking so many questions
Hot-Star nearby our hotel.
After a few minutes of walking, we finally found our way to the MTR.
We asked the guy from the selling counter how to get to the market. We bought the route that he told us to go. And... we end up in the middle of nowhere. 
But we found food, so yeah, we just ate whatever there is.

Day 2 - OCEAN PARK
13rd March 2015

See that oozing custard?!!!!
Today, we went to this bakery that sells SALTED EGG CUSTARD CROISSANT. 
even the name itself is already tempting. OMG
Unfortunately, we custard filling we get is not a lot.
Not to mention the price, but it is pretty pricey, Despite the fact that the mineral water cost the same as the croissant. 
Nevertheless, it is still a food that will make me go back again and again.
After lunch, we went to Ocean Park.
Because it was pretty cold, they close most of the extreme rides. 
We should have gone to Disney Land instead; since we couldn't play much.
Sorry to post this gi. You guys are so cute HEHEHE







We were very distracted by the cuteness of that hat LOL
(in the cable car) i have a fear of heights so i said to them, please distract me from looking down or out!
So we took pictures hehehehe
They were freezing lol
At night, we wanted to go to this famous "Indonesian" siumai. But it was close :(
So, me, febby, and claudia went to the HK restaurant called Tsui Wah Restaurant.
Egi and her boyfriend, Albert, went to a sushi buffet. 
We didn't want to go with them because it'll be very filling and sushi? Come on...
Anyway, the Tsui Wah Restaurant is DAMNNNNNN GOOOODDDD.
Especially the Pineapple Bun they have. OMG. 
I can't found any good ones in KL :( NOT EVEN ONE :( Take me back pleaseeee TT
Busy calling boyfriend. Busy calling friend. *Febby* Mirror selfie :p
I SWEAR THIS IS DAMN GOOD TT 
(right) THE PINEAPPLE BUN :(
Creme Brulee Oreo. Too sweet for my liking. Not bad tho.

Day 3 - CHEEZY CHEESE
14th March 2015

One of the best :9
HEHEHEHE
We went to Ladies Market today. It sounds like a heaven for girls isn't it?
Sadly, it's not. There's nothing we can buy there. All they sell was pretty much the same.
Phone cases, necklaces, t-shirts, souveniers, and some other unimportant stuff. 
Oh, me and egi, we bought fish eye lens. 
But the lens is somewhat scratched and it gives a blurry effect to the picture. SO it's kinda useless.
After a while, egi went to meet albert. The 3 of us went to Times Square to meet Claudia's friend, Kent. He came from Guangzhou to HK.
I have no idea why ....
We walked around Times Square and then we found out there's a Pierre Herme shop.
So we give it a try.
I would say it is not bad. But if compared to Laduree, i will personally choose Laduree. 
(And if compared to La Maison, i will choose La Maision :p)

Around 8.30pm, all the shops in this particular place (I can't remember the mall's name) will be closed.
As we were extremely tired because of all the walkings, we rest our self at this fine dining place inside the mall. 
After we fill our self with some energy, we walked along the street and found this street food "lok-lok".
The egg waffle is terrible. The lok-lok, well, not that good, too.
It was almost mid-night but we found this delicious-looking ice cream.
I couldn't resist so i tried. Actually, all of us tried. lol. Even tho we were quite full already. 
BUT! the ice cream is definitely worth the space in the almost-full-stomach.
Wait... I said we were full right? HAHA
Do you really think that was it?
After the chit chat, we went to McDonald's and discovered the amazingly scrumptious "Cheezy cheese".
I have no idea whether it's called "Cheezy cheese" or that's just how we called it. 
It's seriously addictive and PLEASE, I don't eat fast food. BUT THIS! is an exception.

Day 4 - SCRAMBLED EGG & EGG WAFFLE
15th March 2015

We bought some food while queuing because ... we just feel like it :p
I found this very famous scrambled-egg place in Jordan called Australian Dairy Company.
The queue was crazily long. Indeed, it is the best scrambled-egg E.V.E.R.
Anyway, do you spot that brown glass with the spoon inside? 
Febby and Claudia drank it HAHAHAHAHAHA
The awkward moment is after they drank it, the family that sits with us, dipped the spoon inside. LOL
So basically the tea is for the guest to wash their utensils. HAHAHAHAHA OHGOD
Sorry Guys, i have to tell this story. It's too damn funny HAHAHHAHA
A store in Queensway. Milk taste is too strong and it's too sweet.
After the meal, we went to Queensway Plaza and then back to Times Square again.
Long story short, Kent went back to Guangzhou at night and then, we went to Wan Chai.
I also found this famous egg waflle with soft serve ice cream, Oddies Foodies.
The chocolate ice cream is definitely one of the best :9 the waffles are quite nice, too.
Definitely will go back if i have the chance to.
(Claudia) Ham&cheese egg waffle. (me) Night Wolf. (febby) DR. OODIE
After our heavy-snack time, we went to a dim sum place nearby, called DimDimDim Dim Sum.
How can we leave HK without having dim sum? right?
So this place has a quite high rating on the Internet.
Despite the fact that i was pretty full when i ate it, i will rate it probably 6/10.
It's not good, but it's not that bad either. So yeah ...
 This sums up half of the trip.
