Macau Day 2 (Part 2): Taipa Village, Galo Portuguese Restaurant, Mok Yi Kei

We did not spend much time at Venetian. After about 1-2 hours at Venetian, we took taxi to Rua do Cunha. Rua do Cunha is a narrow street at Vila da Taipa, the town centre of Taipa island. It is a must visit place for tourists. :) The taxi driver told us it is actually very near and walkable distance. But we don't even know the direction where it is from Venetian, so might as well take taxi. We reached within 10 minutes. :p

To go Rua do Cunha from Venetian, walk to your right from the Venetian bus terminal. Follow the walk path that bring you to the overhead bridge. Follow the direction and you will pass The Taipa Houses of Museum (building in green). Walked towards the stairscase and walk further and you will reach back end of Rua do Cunha. :)

Koi Kee Bakery. Everywhere in Macau. You can spot few outlets in one street! 

Lunch at Galo Portuguese restaurant, located at the end of the Rua do Cunha street, opposite of Gelatina Mok Yi Kei shop.

Cod fish fried rice. Too salty for my liking.

Very tasty stir fry clams with garlic, olive oil and coriander. The meat was so huge compared to Malaysia!

Deep fried pork's hand. The skin was crispy (and hard) but the meat was tender and juicy. The skin was hard for me. But my MIL said it was alright.

My little girl was sleeping while we had our lunch. 

 



With the heavy tummy with us, we shopped around Rua do Cunha. Me and my MIL visited one shop to another shop and basically window shopping. We end up bought some accessories for ourselves at one of the accessories shop at Rua do Cunha. The husband bought souvenirs for his colleagues and I managed to grab a cute fridge magnet too. :)

 

We also had coffee break at the Starbucks, and had the famous sawdust pudding from Gelatina Mok Yi Kei!

Sawdust pudding at MOP15. It is a creamy pudding with biscuits crumbs on top of it. My verdict - OK lah. Nothing to shout. Really.

 

My girl had wan tan mee at one of the local coffee shop at Rua do Cunha after she woke up from nap. The price was so much cheaper than Wong Chi Kei and my MIL said it was even tastier than Wong Chi Kei. LOL.

Taipa Houses of Museum

So happened that they were having lotus flower exhibition. It was so beautiful. Great weather. All professional photographers with all the hi-tech cameras all around.

 

Beautiful flowers around the Taipa

Beautiful walkway in the garden.

 

Long walkalator from the Taipa garden towards The Venetian Hotel. Such a breeze! :)

 

We then took The Venetian free shuttle bus to get back to Macau old town. And next, we visited Ruins of St Paul and Senado Square before called it a day.
