Took MTR to PrinceEdward MTR & went to recee the Gold Fish Market! It turned out to be a street of Pet Shops too! Seemed tat Fishes are the early birds-they get e worms! Doggies & kitties r mostly asleep! =)
I walked down NathanRd to search for the famous “恒香” (HangHeng) 老婆饼(Wife'sBiscuits). Just as per Eeleen's directions, VIOLA!! I found them! Though I love them, I really cant bring too many back, so I bot 6boxes of 8 minis Wife Biscuits! Mainly for colleagues & family members. They are kinda Heavy + Very Fragile! Must be careful, these are meant for handcarry baggage only!
Went back to hotel, Showered & lazed ard to watch on cable. Thereafter I left for the Ferry Terminal & took the 2pm's ferry back to MACAU. The timing was as planned and arranged with KT, I am on track! So happy to be back in MACAU! YAY! Maybe HKG was too cosmopolitan for me. Too developed, offices etc… even the markets were too commercialized & touristy for me…
By the time I reached KT’s it was abt 4pm already. We ventured out to the Fisherman's Wharf (next to e Ferry terminal actually) for dinner. KT said this place is a little like our old ClarkeQuay, bit of a White elephant cos the Rental's supa high but nt enough revenue generated to sustain the place. We saw a few dysfunctional restaurants & wondered if they too had succumbed to the fate of failed biz venture. We had to waited for dinner @ a Jap Rest (abit like Sushi Tei, except teeny bit posher). I noticed that the Japanese/Korean restaurant/cafe businesses generally do very well in MACAU & HKG, KT confirmed my observation.
Dinner was quite Yummy! We walked to e Casino areas! KT got me a bkgrd of e casino devt timeline/history in MACAU. Basically WYNN, MGM, CITY OF DREAMS(Crowne) & SANDS (Venetian & Golden Sands) are the 4 external main players in the market! Smhw almost all related to Stanley Ho's family biz(except for SANDS)! I am truly amazed by how the biz can grow so biz! COOL!
I am not reallt a Casino fan, but just to see how Beautiful & Grand they are is fun! The lights & décor! & Of cos I awe in amazement how much revenue they can generate to sustain the competitive Casino biz in MACAU.
Our after-dinner-night walk brought us to SenadoSq! Night visit! COOL! So must be really fortunate to able to see the night & day view of the famous RuinsOfSt.Paul’s & the St.Dominic Ch. It was a little like Rome's Trevi Fountain & The Spanish Steps! The little lanes & churches scattered ard, pebbled roads closed for pedestrians,shop houses! Nicee! Oh, I had to buy Almond cookies for colleagues & family too!! 4 boxes-should be enough bah!! OMG! Heavy! Cant wait to come back in day time to awe in the beauty of the architecture & immense myself in the history! Wow!
Actually it sells Taiwanese & 
We ate at the Famous Steamed Milk place
at Senado Sq!YUMMY!
We dropped e stuff at hm & rested abit before we went out for supper ard 1am! Yes yes, it’s eat walk eat walk Sleep! Yummy Roast Pigeon, zhu chow Chilli+BlackBean fry Lahlah(shellfish),BBQ fish- not forgetting the Macauian's culture of having 2XBottles of TsingTao Beer to “下酒” (when KT used tis term “下酒” , i laughed my head off! Damn funny cos it's coming frm a “宅女” like her! Oh, cos usually she very calm & poised, so when she looked rather animated & was quite excited abt e whole ting-I had to laugh! Wuahaha!
We had some Girly Pillow talk till abt 3+am… yawn!
