My grandparent's favourite Chinese restaurant in Macau
As promised, here is a look back at some snaps from the other side of Macau. Away from the casino culture in my last Macau post, there is the old town. Here you'll find Senado Square, home to lots of tourist spots like St. Pauls ruins (see this post) and lots of interesting side streets. We always stop and buy bags of snacks from famous Macaunese bakeries Choi Heung Yuen and Koi Kei. It's a routine stop before we catch our ferry back to HK, but I still love taking photos around here. I love the charm of the older buildings and the feeling of stepping back in time.
Salted preserved fish - a popular gift item!
A typical street seller's stall selling lots of handmade almond cookies and candy.
Yummy Portuguese egg tarts.
This is by far my favourite photo. During editing, I accidentally turned this photo black and white and I am so glad I did. It makes for such an interesting photo.
Old town Macau is awesome.
Love your turquoise shorts! And those egg tarts... yummmm....
ReplyDeleteDefinitely have to agree with u on loving the charm of older buildings! There's so much character that can't be replaced which also makes it mysterious :)

Ohh my gosh, the egg tarts! You have a way of capturing photos that make me hungry. :) Macau looks lovely through your eyes!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos, darling Winnie!
ReplyDeleteYes, I love the black and white photo too! This side of Macau looks so... real. Stupid way to describe it, I know, but it looks really lovely and livable instead of the other, bit pompous, side of it.

Aw man, this post makes me want to visit Macau even more! Older looking small town roads are so pretty to look at and 'experience' - I love picturing and imagining the history behind it all (:
ReplyDeleteIt looks like such an interesting place to go, these pictures are really gorgeous! Especially the last one, like something you'd see in a fancy old movie :)
ReplyDeleteLooks so much fun! I love the photo of the almond cookies
