I wil be going to Macau + HK trip on 21st of Jan. Any nice, clean, convinient and affordable hotel recommended? i m looking for Grandview Hotel @ Taipa, Macau and Kings De Nathan Hotel @ yau ma tei, HK. Any comment? :-D

i stayed at grand view. not bad but maybe a bit far from those tourist attractions

Bro, sorry for the late reply. Just came back from Melbourne.

I have booked rooms via Agoda many times and all I need to do is print the voucher and present it to the hotel. Never called or email the hotels to confirm the reservations.

I booked my rooms with agoda at The Venetian, Grand Lisboa and Hong Kong Royal Plaza

In my previous article on Melbourne, I stayed at Formule 1, and I just came back from Melbourne today and stayed at Space Hotel this time. Both case, checked in close to 2am in the morning without any hassle by just simply presenting the Agoda voucher.

or budget motel

Why not stay at Gongbei, Zhuhai ? For that price, can get 4-5 star hotel.
Just a 5-10 minute walk from Macau/China immigration.

A lot of shopping can be done at Gongbei there, mainly for female.
Male go eat standard egg-tarts hot from oven from shops there, I think it is nicer than Macau Portugese egg-tart.

lol. to cross that immigration alone would already take you 1.5 hours per way at least. not a wise decision unless you don't mind squeezing around with rude chinese nationals and have a lot of time to burn.

[URL=Macau Trip 2012 - Ma Zu Temple (媽祖廟)]My Webpage[/URL]



Since my flight was around 6.30am I had to be at the airport by 4a.m for check in purposes. This means I only had about 2 hours of sleep that night and it was only during the afternoon the day before I came back from Penang @_@. Anyway the flight arrived right on time at the Macau International Airport and a cooling air greeted us as the skies indicated that its about the pour anytime soon.

As soon as we emerged from the arrival hall our tour guide met up with us and soon we were on our way to some western food restaurant for lunch. Throughout the journey he began to brief us all about Macau and how small the whole country is. Basically there's only a few reasons people outside of China mainland come to Macau. Firstly its no other than its grand and luxurious casinos and second being a stop over point from Hong Kong. After the not so hearty meal (fried dory fish + rice +red wine) we proceeded to our first tourist spot of the day, Ma Zu Temple! It started to drizzle as soon as we stepped out of the bus. The weather forecast was indeed spot on.



Along the way to the temple there were many wall murals which are pretty unique and cartoonish. Street photographers will definitely love these.






The temple is like no other temple, with its own unique architecture. Macau residents are mainly Christians or those who worship this god/ Guan Yin, I won't actually label them as Buddhists though. Hence, the significance of this temple. However at this time my feet was still hurting so I didn't really bother to explore around, especially those that involved stairs :/

The original poster wanted to visit Zhuhai also.

Hey... thanks for recommending.

Let me take a look at it.

Added on January 4, 2013, 5:34 pmHmm this sounds good. I checked a few hotels which are all located nearby that area.
But i'm just concern about the visa and crossing the immigration.

Koi Kei Pastry (鉅記手信)



Actually, there's another reason for people to come to Macau, which is for their egg tarts!! Koi Kei Pastry is a very established brand here at Macau and you are bound to bump to this shop as they are everywhere! The first shop that I encountered was nearby Ma Zu Temple and it was really my first time tasting such delicious egg tarts! Another big shop that I found was located at St. Paul's street area. Major casinos will definitely have their branches in it.





What makes these egg tarts so special is the pastry. It's really fragrant and crispy unlike any other I've tried in Malaysia. The egg filling is also really delicious as it instantaneously melts once you put the tart in your mouth. The tarts sells out really fast hence they are always freshly baked. Besides egg tarts, Koi Kei also has an assortment of other goodies like almond cookies, and so forth and are all selling really well. So if you plan to buy some back be sure to be at the shop early, and perhaps fight with a long queue at certain outlets.






Of course, there are other shops selling egg tarts and purist will tell you that they taste better. To me I can't taste the difference because they all really seem so tantalising to me xD Another famous egg tart seller seem to be from Cafe de Nata or more famously known as Margeret.

Directions to the pastry shop by AskDs (Thanks!):
