Macau-HK Trip: Day 4

Weather: 14-18 Celcius

March 8 was the last day of our trip. We managed to have some nice dim sum at Tao Heung, a restaurant near our hostel. The restaurant may look a bit classy, but the price is ok. As we arrived, the restaurant was filled with people, mainly senior citizens and their family members. We ordered 6 dishes and a pot of tea, it cost around 92 HKD. The “siu long pao” is really worth the price. It’s only around RM7 for 4 pieces. It’s huge and juicy, though the skin maybe a bit thick. The “char siu pau” there was my favourite~ The size is medium (just nice), the “pau” is very soft and fine and the “char siu” is fantastic. The best I ever have in my life! After dim sum, we did some last minute shopping before departing to the ferry terminal to catch the ferry back to Macau.

Our last destination before going back to Malaysia is Venetian. Venetian is a luxury Casino and Resort. It is one of the hotels near the airport (only a few minutes ride by car). The building is very spacious. The interior design of this hotel is very grand. Its shopping area is modeled according to Venice in Italy. Sometimes you may feel that the clouds at the ceilings are moving due to optical illusion.

Venetian offer free luggage service on the same day. So, we took the hotel shuttle bas from Macau Ferry Terminal and then deposited our luggage at the hotel lobby. Please note that the hotel offer free shuttle bas between the airport and ferry terminal. The place to take these shuttle buses is different. When we deposited our luggage, we informed the staff that we will be collecting the luggage at the other end of the hotel as we will be taking the shuttle bas to airport.

Venetian is a nice hotel to hang around for shopping even though you are not interested in gambling. The area is not crowded and you can really relax yourself. There are a number of restaurants in the hotel, including McDonald’s. You can also do some last minute shopping here. In addition, they offer free shows. Be sure to check the show time when you arrive at the hotel.

p/s: Many people may not have notice, outside the hotel is a nice area to hang out as well.

Overall, my trip to Macau and Hong Kong is not too bad. It would have been great if we manage to see the giant Buddha in Lantau Island. I will keep that in my “to-go list” for my next trip to Hong Kong.
