The moment we got off the boat from Hong Kong to Macau, we thought it was summer all over again. Darn it, how can a place not even an hour away can be so much hotter? Definitely regretted not wearing a nice dress or some shorts.

The Venetian

There wasn't much to do except walking around and spotting some tourist attractions. Casinos were pretty much the same after we have visited a few. And since the one we have in Montreal is already a nice one, I wasn't much impressed and got bored quickly. However, we did abuse of the free drinks they offer hehehe... même si ma tante a peté ma bulle par la suite en m'informant qu'ils offraient aussi des snacks si on avait gardé l'oeil ouvert...

The greatest disappointment was Macau's famous eggtarts. I thought it would taste like Portuguese eggtarts (since Macau used to be a Portuguese colony) but it was more like the regular-oh-so-boring Chinese eggtarts but with a burnt look.

Pastéis de nata

On the other hand, I enjoyed very much several local dishes including pato de cabidela (un ragoût au sang de poulet et herbes), caldo verde (soupe aux patates, chou et saucisses) et Galinha à africana (poulet dans une sauce épicée).
