The second stop of our bike tour is at this Michelin Guide 2017 eatery. The surrounding is pretty – on the Largo Eduardo Marques square, diagonally opposite (south of) from Uni of Macao across the water, next to colorful Chapel of St. Francis; runs by 3rd generation. Their famous stewed duck with tangerine peel (chenpi duck 陳皮鴨) only serves after 6 pm, unfortunately. The veggie and squid are yummy. The coconut cost HK$50 (about US$6.45), twice as much as in New York City.

The very first stop of our bike tour. Established in 1989, they claim the creator of the Egg Tart now famous throughout Asia. The tarts are fine. I think anything freshly out of wok/pot/oven, in general, tastes good. There isn’t a line when we get there. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have waited. It reminds me of Georgetown Cup cake bakery.

The House of Dancing Water 水舞间

A water stage production that runs 90 minutes at resort/casino City of Dreams (新濠天地) in Cotai, south of Coloane. I enjoyed it, in spite of a rather sad day: went to two beaches and a water show but didn’t swim! It’s just so inhumane, unthinkable. And a fall from the biking adventure just adds salt to my injury.

The A section tickets cost HK$980 (abt US$126). In the mist of watering, there’s an act of motorcycling: it fits a circus but with a water production?

Macau 澳门 in 2016

Macau, China

The SAR (region) consists of (wiki map) Macao penisular and island of islands of Taipa and Coloane (both are now connected by Cotai 路氹城, a land fill – not a landfill).

Needless to say, change is inevitable. As the local would say, since Macao is so tiny, you can’t get lost on the streets BUT you would inside the casinos. I’ll have to agree.

An American in China

We don’t normally see them do ads in the USA but many would sell out elsewhere. Scarlett Johansson pitches for Huawei phones (in Shanghai) and Bradley Cooper who graduated from Georgetown in 1993 does Haagen Dazs ice cream (in Macau). Chinese market is increasingly important and powerful, commending the top talents. Matt Damon is starring in the Great Wall by Zhang Yimou, coming out Feb 2017. Dr. Strange has Hong Kong and Wang.

Macau 澳门

The little gamblers’ heaven has become heavenlier since China took back from the Portuguese in 1999 (2 years after Hong Kong) and opened gaming, which used to be monopolized Sir Stanley Ho for 40 years, 1962-2002 (wiki).
