Macau-Hotel Casa Real 15 Mar 2011

The room is very nice, modern and clean..

Such a big tv

 Parents room was upgraded to deluxe suite, with a small living room, I felt nice to give them good impression, cos they are revisiting their honeymoon place after 30 odd years..

 The room

 The hotel

This ash tray display never fail to attract our attention, everytime Jared pass by, can't help to poke his finger there hah

Paid about $120 per room per night from agoda. Overall the hotel room is nice, but location wise not at city center. Not much eating area around. Good thing is its near Sands Hotel, so can actually take the free shuttle bus to the Venetian

Hong Kong & Macau Trip Day 4 16 Mar 2011-To HK

Day 4 Macau to HK After breakfast at hotel, we took the hotel shuttle bus to ferry terminal and took the ferry back to TST. Again Jared sea sick..and feeling uncomfortable throughout the ferry trip. We caught the 1.30pm hotel shuttle bus to go back hotel..and after putting luggage, we took the train to Jordan MRT for Tai Ping Koon. TPK is a short walk from Jordan MRT..but since it was late lunch, Jared was already so hungry and angry. We ordered 2 set meal, the roasted pigeon set, and the swiss chicken wing set..but did not come out to expectation. Even the soufflé disappoint us..Haiz..The meal cost quite a bit HKD700+ (over SGD100)…cos I didn’t know its standard before going hehe..The waiter were all with bow tie, and dear daddy commented they looked as old as restaurant. Hehe. After TPK, we walked around Nathan road towards temple street..Did some shopping and after that took train to TST again for the avenue of star. Its complete relaxing and nice to be there..The views of simply fantastic. Took so many pictures, and finally took the star ferry to cross to HK side. We took the upper deck at HKD2.50. Over at HK side, we had to settle dinner at IFC, at their noodle & congee restaurant, which again was so expensive… After dinner we took the star ferry back to TST…and bid farewell to my parents, which they go back to Macau..and we go back hotel.

 First ferry to and flow Macau and HK cost about SGD30+ and no child rate/old age rate...Kaylen need to pay full fee too

 The famous souffle from TPK

Roast pigeon not nice.

 Fried big intestine, very common in HK but taste yucky

 In the first ferry..its the cheapest transportation mode HKD2 or HKD2.50 upper deck (50cent SGD for the ride

Very beautiful night scene

Hong Kong & Macau Trip Day 3 15 Mar 2011 -To Macau!

Day 3 15 Mar The plan today was to join my parents at Macau! Woke up very early to catch the hotel shuttle to TST at 7:30am Checked out and took the bus and walk to China Ferry terminal..it was pretty long walk with some luggage.. Bought the 8:30 ferry ticket..but was told delayed to 9am+ due to big fog. Finally board the ferry around, but after a while Jared had this stomachache, and vomitted in the toilet..he suffered this on the way back too..only then we knew he had sea sick. Reached hotel at 11:30am..and immediately we go to our 1st stop senado square..Eat at the 1st restaurant we bumped..a little dirty and smelly..but lucky food was ok..I had the 1st and nicest pork chop bun there.. Walking along senado square was nice ..and trying out all the souvenier food along the way to st paul ruin..The main items are the bak kwa, almond biscuit(hiks, forgot to take pics, cos we don’t really like almond biscuit)… The view of St paul ruin is even nicer..we can’t just keep on snapping pics.. We stayed till it rained..and no choice, got to take bus back to hotel..and rest.. Casa real has very nice & modern rooms..only too bad not many eatery around it.. After dinner, we went over to Sands to take the free shuttle bus to Venetian..it was the coldest night at Macau..even 3 layer of jacket can still made us feel cold with the strong wind. The venetian at macau is quite similar to the 1 in Las Vegas..pretty and grand..We took the gondola ride after the kids urge..and enjoyed ourselves so much with the 20mins ride..The gondola guy sing 2 songs for us..
