Eating A Lot


Some of us have dumped the hotel breakfast and went out to stuff our faces with the MOP$10 a-dish local fare at the neighborhood cafes. I got to know that they term 'ta-pau' (takeaway/to-go) as "走街" (read it in Cantonese please). So fun! I suppose that by the end of the week, I'll end up eating at many recommended restaurants in the city, and of course I'd better pick up some basic Portuguese phrases.

It was so hard to resist sneaking out the camera for a shot. These were work dinners, so I kinda had to maintain an image and not dissolve into my usual mopey tourist shutterbug mode.

I really enjoyed the experience at O Porto Interior Restaurante. But the restrictions meant that I couldn't snap all the food shots that I wanted or show you the Bolinhos de Bacalhau (codfish croquettes) and flambeed Portuguese sausages that I liked! They did beautiful soups of gratinated French onion soup and oxtail. And that dessert called biscuit pudding. It's really finely crumbled Marie biscuits over custard. It is absolutely divine.

Hah yeah I'm looking to visiting Venetian too, to see if the shopping area is the replica of the one in Vegas.

My dad said the suite room is lovely!
