Happy Tummy in Macau

Macau is a food mecca not just because of the famous Portuguese egg tarts or the sumptuous pork buns. There are lots of food choices each establishment has to offer. In my business trip to Macau I was able to enjoy some of the food that Grand Hyatt Macau has to offer.

At night after the conference, we were invited to dine at Mezza9, the famous restaurant in Cotai strip for their excellent buffet and ala carte.

After the delicious dinner, I explored the hotel for some souvenir items for the family since my flight will be early the following morning.

Aside from the bagfull of Koi Kei delicacies, I also bought few shirts from Hard Rock Macau as requested by my unico hijo :)
I woke up early morning to check out at the hotel and went straight to the airport to catch my 10am flight back to Manila.

My trip was short but very memorable. I will surely go back again to Macau but this time not alone.... someone will be in tow to explore Macau.

Macau at Night

Macau at night is all about glitz and glamour. For tourists like me who are not fond of meeting Lady Luck at the table, strolling the casinos is still a joy with all the sights that each establishment has to offer.

Venetian Macau is just across the City of Dreams, so I brave the evening breeze to see the magnificent sight it has to offer. I was not disappointed as the facade of the Venetian seems to invite me to come and explore the great sights instore for me.

The river inside the hotel... too bad the gondola ride is already closed
As the night went by, my tired feet was crying for help already. So to cap the night I bought myself a Starbucks Mango Passionfruit as I find my way back to my hotel.
