He ferried over from Hong Kong and stayed at my hotel here in Macau. Since I enjoyed my sampling of Macanese cuisine, I wanted to experience more of it. So lunch was the first thing we did together.
Porco balichao. Yummy … reminds me of Chinese “Tau Eu Bak” but it is chunks of fatty pork stewed in rich shrimp paste and chilli.
Salted codfish (bacalhau) with potatoes. Yummy … I love bacalhau.
Even though we weren’t gamblers, we wanted to check out some of the casinos, specifically the lavish architecture. I made a small financial loss overall but it was compensated by the free tea, juices and water that the casino gives out to its customers.
Of course, the most spectacular casino is The Venetian, with replicas of Venice both on the inside and out. But the gaming area at Wynn’s feels more exclusive with partitions to avoid that gambling-barn feel.
