NBA Finals at Macau

Posted by Dawn at Wednesday, June 11, 2008
This morning, went down to our hotel cafe for buffet breakfast. Yep, as expected, we ate a lot!





And here is my own version of Enormous Omelette Sandwich.



We spent the whole morning after breakfast staying in the hotel, watching NBA finals- Celtics Vs Lakers Game 3. So far Celtics has won 2 games. I was rooting for Lakers because I all along like them when Magic Johnson used to play for them. We watched from 9am to 12 noon and was glad Lakers won the 3rd game at their own homeground.

After that, we went to the ferry terminal to catch a free hottle shuttle bus to "The Venetian". It's a huge hotel, consisting of gondola rides. It is a definite must-go if you do go to Macau.





It was also nice for us to have lunch there as they have a huge foodcourt with all kinds of cuisines, ranging from Singaporean, to Korean, to Mexican. It was a shock when we saw laksa and prata selling for about S$11!! Haha..

Anyway, here's what CT had- Shrimp Roe Noodles. Its actually dried shrimp roe on top.



While I had beef fajitas in a hot plate. Yummy! Costs me S$13. I felt it was worth it because I hardly have mexican in Singapore and if I do, it isnt exactly very cheap either.





Here's the picture on the ceiling of the hotel.



After spending about 2 hours plus there,we took the bus back to the ferry terminal. Then, we walked to the New Yaohan Departmental Store nearby which was connected by a bridge.


Here's the view from the ferry terminal.





Then we took our hotel shuttle bus back to our hotel to rest and wash up. At about 7 plus, we took the shuttle bus again back to the ferry terminal to check out the fisherman's wharf. It is not as good as it looks on the website. It seemed like a deserted place..but anyway, it was interesting to just take a stroll there to see the different buildings of various countries.






We then went back by the hotel bus and had dinner near our place. Dinner was fabulous except for the smoking that was allowed in the restaurant. Macau is a very polluted place where almost everyone smokes! When we went in to the casino last night, there was this guy who actually spat in front of us onto the carpet! It was gross!

Anyway, here's what I ordered- oxtail stew with macaroni (think they use chicken broth as soup base)! It was delicious! That gives me an idea to cook it next time!



While CT ordered their Portugese cod fish-Bacalhau fried rice.



This marks the last night of our stay here in Macau. Will I miss this place? Hmm....Still very undeveloped and empty except for the casino-boom! So, guess I wont really miss this place. But I'm sure CT will miss his pork chop bun...which I have promised to make for him when I am back in Singapore.
