Strolling and Eating in Macau
After three years of the pandemic, taking advantage of the pleasant weather and temperature to visit Macau again, just like the previous trip, staying at The Parisian hotel, still grand and splendid, with many tourists coming and going.
First, a few photos of the hotel lobby, the evening light show at the Eiffel Tower, and the surroundings.
On the first day, after arriving and settling our luggage at the hotel, we headed straight to Ruins of St. Paul's. It was still packed with people... so we had to go into the less crowded alleys. There were quite a few coffee shops, and this discovery made us decide to only explore the small alleys, which also had many nice food stalls.
I remembered seeing this shop in some guide, and unexpectedly I spotted it. Got a sarsoon (egg puff) to fill our stomachs... (probably because we were hungry) anyway, it was delicious.
Wandering without a clear direction, we passed by this shop called Venus and got a yao luo su (egg yolk and coconut shred sesame filling pastry), also tasty.
Continuing to wander aimlessly, we saw this eatery. My daughter was hungry (she hadn't eaten anything along the way, while my wife and I kept eating). We went in...
There were fried shrimp balls and oyster fried noodles. Finally, she had something she wanted to eat. After a hearty meal, we continued strolling.
We came to a house that looked like an exhibition hall. According to the caretaker, it was built by a wealthy Macau family as an exhibition hall, a house that stays cool in summer and warm in winter. It is mainly for architecture students to understand how the house structure achieves this "cool in summer, warm in winter." Without that knowledge, we just looked around.
Wandering further, we ended up at the square near Ruins of St. Paul's.
Better find a place to sit, have a coffee to relieve fatigue.
On the second day, we only strolled around Taipa Village area, also aimlessly. We thought it would be less crowded on a Monday, but surprisingly there were even more people than Sunday, so we continued exploring small alleys.
On the way back to the hotel, we passed by The Venetian hotel. There was a show, and it was very crowded, even more so than The Parisian.
