Highlights of my trip in Macau

Decided to put together a summary of some of my favourite things we did and ate there cos my blogposts on Macau are all split up (due to too many pictures!)

Only in Macau, will you…

… behold the most ridiculously opulent reception areas you’ve ever set eyes on.

(Fig salad with Portuguese air dried ham and arugula, chickpeas with sundried tomatoes and basil pesto, and baked sardines.)

Bite into the juiciest prawn dumplings ever at Canton Restaurant at The Venetian.

(The signature prawn dumplings were gigantic, juicy and incredibly fresh- they just burst with flavour the moment i bit into them.)

Watch extravagant OTT shows… for free.

In summary, Macau is a city with so much money that they’ve filled it with anything a human could possibly want there. Of course, their claim to fame and fortune are their many casinos (which i didn’t even gamble in cos i’m not a high roller and theirs scare me) but i was thoroughly entertained by all the colourful and sparkly activity and entertainment surrounding me. And the food. I didn’t know the food in Macau would be so top-notch.

I still think of those prawn dumplings to this day.
