Sin City

Welcome to sin city. The epitome of decadent living, complete with casino hopping, shopping aplenty and food tasting.

From Guangzhou, we bused down to Zhu Hai (Border city between China and Macau), and on foot we crossed over to Macau!

Seradura has got to be my favourite Macanese dessert, or is it Portuguese? Oh well, you will never know with Macau. Seradura is a cookies and cream dessert, and its literally cookies plus cream. I know, you are thinking fats and cholesterol, a big no no. But this cream, you got to try. The cream was a white cloud of puff, very light, and its sprinkled with the finest of crushed cookie dust, hence the name Seradura which also means Saw Dust.

The Venetian, you've got to absolutely go. I have never been to Venice (hope to some day), but for that moment, it did feel like it. I was in Venice in Macau.

The Venetian
There is a canal that runs through the length of the mall, with gondolas on it, and rowers serenading down the stretch. *swooons, such romance. It made me want to go visit Venice that much more.


As we strolled down the stretch, we were constantly surrounded with music. Floating from the canal, and then from the promenade too.


Poker Tower
That guy just amuses me so. He looked so crazed stacking all those poker cards to the outline of the Macau skyline. Gosh, wish I could have helped.


The Venetian is more than just a casino or a premium shopping mall. Its Venice in Macau.

Do agree that the Venetian is a must see or should I say "must stay" hotel in Macau. It's really opulent and the rooms are so beautiful - luxuriant and the bed, oh so comfy.
The pictures you took turn out much better than mine. must commend you on you skills as a good photographer.
