Macau-Hong Kong Birthday Trip Day 5 -Part 3-

Oh goodie, I finally reached the final post for my birthday last year.. this was just the day itself.. I still have a few more posts on the trip before I could end this.. I know I took too long.. I have another round of Seoul study tour post coming up.. that's gonna be about me spending 2 weeks in Seoul experiencing student life as a tourist.. this, I shall elaborate further when I get to it.. Now, back to Macau (Oooo.. it rhymes!!!)


Since it was my birthday, Valer took us to a Portugese restaurant.. it's not too far from the Ruins of St Paul so we walked there..


We knew nuts about portugese food so Valer ordered.. It's was her treat!!!! Oh my, I am loving this traveling-to-countries-where-you-have-friends thingy.. I get free meals!! hahaha... 


I should not have delayed this... I forgot all the name of the dishes... i'll try to describe them as how i remembered...

this is some custard thingy with honey..


I tried looking at the menu to refresh my memory but I think we did not order the set meal...



this is.... i think it's pork.. AHHHHH... I am a terrible food blogger.. Luckily, I don't blog about food..


this is beef in gravy... i had this with bread for breakfast the next day!!! :)



Portugese soft drink!!!



salted fish pie... or some sort...

After dinner, we took another walk around the area... Macau is a really beautiful place.. I should not have just plan to stay 2 days here...








Just by walking around the area makes you feel so in the mood... the lights and the building are just beautiful..







Thanks Valer for bringing us around!! and thanks for the meal and celebrating my birthday!!! It's just great to have friends around in another country...


Valer has been working whole day so it's time her to go home and get some rest... but, the night is still young for us.. Valer suggest to go check out the hotels around Macau, which are practically the main tourist attraction around Macau...





The Grand Lisboa Hotel




It was drizzling that time.. so we had to walk around under an umbrella which makes it kinda inconvenient to go in the hotel for a look... you know, it's harder to cross roads when it is raining...

Wynn Hotel, Valer works here... she told us to watch the fountains and the fortune tree show there..








So, we waited for the fountain show... spectacular!! I am not sure if you can find the video on youtube.. or even better.. go to Macau and watch for yourself!


The view from Wynn... The Grand Lisboa is just nearby.. Is it wasn't raining, we would have walked over to check it out...


While waiting for the show to start, here's how the place looked like before the show start.. the top photo is the ceiling which shows the 12 chinese zodiacs.. and, the one on the bottom is the floor, i am not sure what it is though.. sorry~




Then, the ceiling opened...




And, the fortune tree rose from the ground...



It changes colour from gold to green...



And, that's the ceiling closing... marking the end of the show..


One of the gift shops in Wynn... The bear in the race kart is soooo cute!!




After the show and strolling around Wynn hotel.. We decided to call it a day and head back to the hotel..

Back in the hotel, hp decided to surprise me in the bathroom... I didnt notice this in the first place until hp hinted me.. Aih... I am so blind...

It says Happy Birthday & 10 anniversary!!! Yep, we knew each other for 10 years already.. Oh, gosh!! time sure flies!!


Towards the end of my birthday... after all the walking in HK and Macau... this is how I looked...


And, my poor feet... I suppose the soles of my shoes are too hard.. they were new by then and I had never worn them to walk for such long hours before... Been scurrying everywhere for Salonpas in HK~~


That's almost the end of my birthday trip to HK and Macau...
One more day left...

Till me meet again...

Signing off!!
Toodles!
