We still hope to visit Macau a bit therefore after we check out we took the Turbojet back to Macau. We only managed to get the 11:35am ticket which costs us HKD 134 each.

Bye bye Hong Kong, I will be back!!

As you can see, the turbojet is quite new if compared to the New Ferry Macau. It is clean too. As soon as we were in our seats, the staff start asking what we want to eat/drink, of cos have to pay lar.. Oh ya, turbojet is faster than New Ferry Macau too!

After an hour or so, we reached Macau! Since our flight is at 5pm+, we don’t have much time left (it’s already 12pm+). But before we can start visiting Macau, we have to find a place to keep our luggage!! We can’t carry this 10kg++ luggage with us! We managed to find a place to leave our luggage at first floor, with the price of HKD 30 per luggage.

After get rid of our luggage, we took the free shuttle bus to Grand Lisboa (新葡京). There are a lot of free shuttle bus that gives you free ride too all casinos. When we reached there, all of us were given a scratch and win coupon. We scratched and we did not win anything, hehe, so we just walked out of the casino.

After that, based on the map, we walked about 15 minutes and we reached here.

Santa Casa da Misericórdia

We tried the famous Macau Famous Double Skin Milk!! (澳门双皮奶) and the Macau Portuguese EggTart （澳门葡挞） here. Erm, in my opinion, both taste so so only lar. :p

We continue to walk along this street. There a lot of people along the street, you can shop for clothes, souvenirs, biscuits and etc here.

At the end of the street, you will see the famous ruins of St. Paul’s Mount Fortress (大三巴牌坊). Well, ppl say if you nv see this, that means you nv been to Macau before. hehe.. So that is why I’m here, just to take a picture of this!!

Oh ya, if you see this, please DON’T buy this. the pork chop bun (HKD 15 each) is as hard as stone. Both me and FL can’t even finished one, I took a bite and FL finish half, and we throw the other half. I heard pock chop bun is famous in Macau, you have to try, but make sure do not buy from this stall, else you’ll regret.

It’s already almost 2pm when we finished visit these places. We need to reach the airport by 3pm+ so we decided to take bus to the Macau Ferry Terminal. I did not have a good impression in Macau because the ppl there are quite rude. The bus driver, the person that we asked for direction… It seems that HK ppl are more friendly and nice..

Anyway, we only spend 2 hours in Macau, so can’t make much judgement also.. I miss Hong Kong, but not Macau. hehe.. and if I have the chance to go HK again, I think i will skip Macau.

Bye bye HK and Macau….

Next: Summary of my 5D4N HK/Macau Trip

We decided to walk around to see what to eat. After a few minutes, we realized we were at the Tung Choi Street/ Ladies Street already!! See..

It’s very crowded although it’s 4pm+. I didn’t really shop as I’m too busy looking for food. Finally after passing by several ‘Char Chan Teng’, we decided to just try this char chan teng, Eat to New（新之食）. The food was SUPERB. I wanted to go back to makan again before I came back but too bad, no time!! I really miss the mee, super super nice. The portion is really very big but I can finish it by myself. wuahahahaha… so tasty!!

After lunch, only I started to look at what they sell at the Ladies Street. The ladies street is actually quite long, I think it’s approx 3 streets long. Basically, the Ladies Street is very much like our KL ‘Chee Cheong Gai’. There are bags lar, clothes lar, t-shirts lar, pirated watches lar, and you got to negotiate with them. Beware, don’t negotiate long long but didn’t buy, later kena pukul!! If you do not have the intention to buy, DO NOT negotiate!! else you will kena. hehe.. We wanted to buy mahjong but couldn’t get a good price, so basically I didn’t buy anything from there.

Besides these stalls, there are plenty of shops around, Bossini lar, G2000 lar, Giordano lar.. We didn’t really have time to shop as we plan to go to the Star Avenue at 6pm. We walk here and there, from the ladies street to Mongkok (Mongkok really a good place to SHOP!!) Then we saw the famous Hui Lau Shan (许留山) @ Mongkok, Kowloon, so famous, sure have to try lar. Their mango sai mai lo is really NICE, no wonder soooo famous!! But service not too good.. cashier very rude!!

After we finished the dessert, we saw this..

'Yao Za Gwai'

I really wanted to try but I’m really VERY FULL!! HKD 7 each which means about RM 3.50 one!! Quite expensive also hor.. but the again, looks very nice lar.. We spent about 2 hours @ ladies street/mongkok, including eating our lunch and dessert, then we headed to the Star Avenue.

Macau airport is kind of small, there’s no shops or restaurants at all. When I asked the customer service there, they said only departure hall have shops and restaurants, other than that, there’s no shops at all. Then how to get small change? The customer service told us we can exchange our money to get some small change at the bank just in front one of the exit. ~phew..

Besides that, the customer service also told us to take the Bus AP1 to go the the Macau Ferry Terminal (港澳码头).

Bus AP1 to get to the Macau Ferry Terminal, HKD 3.30 per person

We only waited for about 10 minutes before the bus AP1 arrived. We prepared HKD 7 for two person but the bus driver told us we need to pay another HKD 3 for our luggage. So altogether HKD 10 for 2 person + the luggage.

On the way to Macau Ferry Terminal

We are almost there..

It only took us about 10 or 15 minutes to reach the Macau Ferry Terminal from the Macau International Airport. If you take a cab, you probably need to pay HKD 40 to 50 but by bus only HKD 10!! Of cos, it’s not easy to carry the big big luggage to the bus.. well, sure have to sacrifice a bit lor if want to save money, right.. hehe..

Prev: Flying flying I’m Flying!!

We started our journey at about 4am and reached there around 4:45am (paid toll RM 8.40). After checked in our luggage (booked before 21st April no need to pay for the baggage fees), we had our breakfast at McD. After breakfast, we went through the security check door and we were all required to take out our belt!! Oh yes, those with belt need to remove on the spot (so ugly!!). Since when they became so strict?? A lady was asked to take out her shoes some more!!

Our plane arrived on time and we were already flying before 5:50am!!

We were flying low when we almost arrived at Macau and we saw this beautiful island
