Super friends conquers HK - Day 7

We had a quick breakfast again and headed straight to the ticket terminal and bought ourselves a two-way ticket to MACAU. We returned on a certain time because it's much cheaper plus we did some serious night shopping back in Hong Kong.

It was a fast ride to Macau. The wind was strong that's why the ferry was swaying. Good thing I have high tolerance sa lula. Many were at the back - throwing up. No joke.

Macau is such a nice place. Same weather as Hong Kong and there were a lot of Filipinos working there. They have numerous 5-star hotels which they offer $100 each (casino money) to visitors like us. Yes, we tried the slot machines and some of us even won, including me.

We asked directions to St. Paul's ruins church and Thank God there's this Chinese girl who knows where. When we got there, I noticed that the road turned to brick stones just like in Italy.

We passed this narrow brick stone road. Along the way, stores offered free taste of cookies and other delicacies. So By the time we got to St. Paul's church, I was full hahaha!. Free food!

There were so many tourist and most of them are in group with matching outfits and flags. We learned why it was called St. Paul's Ruins and the ruins itself is well-preserved - like the front side of the church is still standing, main altar is there, and other retrieved church belongings and paintings are there. More pictures *here*

And so it was time to go but I can't go without trying the street food! I went to this nice looking woman who sells...er... street foods. First I don't know which one to choose. So pinili ko nalang yung mukhang tokwa at fish balls.

~ Manang pagbilan nga po.. &%*$*#&$! Ano raw?! Tokwa nga po! ~

The woman boiled it and put some curry sauce. I asked her to put little of that famous spicy curry sauce. Konti nga lang pero super anghang parin! Lumalabas talaga yung uhog ko!

~ In fairness.. masarap sya! I want more pa! ~

Then I saw this girl eating a delicious looking ice cream, so I knew there was a ice cream store nearby. I was right! Je-jeng!

~ Fruit based ice cream - Lemon Cello Gelato. ~

One cup of this costs $25 each - expensive yes, but it was worth it. Ang sarap sarap talaga! At kakaiba mga flavors. Yung fruits pero yung iba may twist, like Raisin rhum.
