Still continue with my Hongkong-Macau Holiday Story. My 3rd day Holiday destination is Macau! This is my first time in Macau so I was really excited.
Started my day with a very big breakfast at Kai Kee Restaurant located in the Tsim Sha Tsui Area. Since morning Kai Kee always packed with people, then I ordered the famous Spicy Minced Pork & Dry Scallop Mix with Noodles and my friend ordered Beef with Macaroni in Tomato Soup.
Ok, start with my friend's ordered food Beef with Macaroni in Tomato Soup. This food is the one of the most popular food in Hongkong, especially for breakfast menu. The Tomato soup was really fresh and the macaroni was blended well with the soup. I thought the tomato soup will be very sour, but not at all, it was fresh and delicious. The soup is served with toast bun, scramble eggs and Ham. Perfect for breakfast!
Price: 48HKD.
And mine was Spicy Minced Pork & Dry Scallop Mix with Noodles. I'm quite person whose makes sure I always get my breakfast, but not a person with a big stomach. When the food came out I pretty shock with the quantity of the food, because that was a lot. It was served with soup and when I tried that I was very overwhelmed with the taste. The Minced Pork was really great and really match well with my taste. Sweet, sour, and salty, every taste was complete and blend very well. I enjoy the noodles because the texture was perfect, not too hard, but not too soft as well. It was very delicious, but unfortunately my stomach too full to eat everything! But it was my favorite food since I arrived at Hongkong!
Price: 47HKD.

After breakfast, I directly went to China Ferry Terminal to take my boat to Macau. I already booked my round trip ticket by online and I use a turbo jet boat to my trip.
Please check this link to more information about Turbojet and for reserving the ticket.
I reserved tickets for Kowloon - Mac (outer) and Mac (outer) - Kowloon for 248HKD. If your departure place from Kowloon, you need to go China Ferry Terminal.

Address: China, Hong Kong City, 33 Canton Road, Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon, Hong Kong (1/F Departure Hall / 2/F Arrival Hall)
After through ticket-checking gate, I need to pass the immigration (so don't forget to bring your passport and ID card), after immigration then I waited to depart. I depart on 12.00 Hongkong Time. After waiting about 15 minutes, finally time to depart!
Personally, I feel really comfortable in the boat. The boat was so clean and comfortable, we get our own seat number so doesn't need to rush. We take a boat for around 1 hour until we arrived in Macau. After doing with immigration thing, I'm so ready to enjoy Macau. And my first destination was The famous Venetian Macao.
If you want to go Venetian Macao, you can use the free shuttle bus by Venetian Macao which ready in Ferry Pier. I have taken that bus to go there. On my way there, I passed the Macau Tower and Guan Yin Statue. And finally, I arrived at the Venetian Macao! Excited.
But before take a walk at the Venetian Macao, time to fill my belly with the famous dumpling restaurant inside of the Venetian Macao. The restaurant called Lei Garden. The Lei Garden restaurant is the Chinese food restaurant which is famous with their dumplings! So, without doubt we ordered Crusty Baked B.B.Q Pork Bun, Shrimp Dumpling, Glutinous Dumpling with Dice Pork, Steamed Siew Mai with Fish Roe, Shanghai style Minced Pork Dumpling, and Steamed Pork Ribs with Rice Noodle.
Crusty Baked B.B.Q Pork Bun was great! It was crunchy outside but so tender inside, not forget to mention the fantastic taste of the BBQ style pork.
Glutinous Dumpling with Dice Pork was great, especially the dice pork inside of the dumpling. The sweet taste of the dumpling skin and the saltiness of the dice pork was blended well.
Shrimp Dumpling (Hakau) has been always my favorite. It was fresh and delicious. The skin of the dumpling and shrimp inside was very tasty. Perfect!
Steamed Siew Mai with Fish Roe was my other favorite! Siew Mai is, never will be wrong right? And the fish roe was so refreshing, delicious!
To be honest, I really worship Shanghai Style Minced Pork Dumpling (Xiaolongbao) since the first time I ate that at Shanghai. The soup inside of the dumpling was incredible, magnificent, and I can't describe that with words!
Steamed Pork Ribs with Rice Noodle was so unique for me, it was my first time eat foods with kind of that style. It was great and match with my salty tongue.
I would like to recommend the Lei Garden Restaurant if you dumpling lover! The food was outstanding and the price average around 29-50HKD for the dumplings!

Beautiful and glamorous Macau, that is one thing I think about as soon as I arrived at the Venetian Macao.
The Venetian Macao is a luxury hotel and casino resort in Macau owned by the American Las Vegas Sands company. The Venetian is a 39-story, casino hotel on the Cotai Strip in Macau. The 10,500,000-square-foot (980,000 m2) Venetian Macao is modeled on its sister casino resort The Venetian Las Vegas, and is the seventh-largest building in the world by floor area. The Venetian Macao is also the largest casino in the world, and the largest single structure hotel building in Asia.
After eating, time to take a walk in Venetian Macao. Inside of Venetian Macao there is an area called The Cotai Arena (formerly known as the Venetian Arena) is an indoor arena, opened in 2007 with a seating capacity of 15,000. It hosts sporting events such as basketball, tennis, and boxing, as well as concerts and international televised awards shows.
I truly love with the Venetian hand-made river, they made the mall ceiling sky-look-a-like complete with beautiful clouds. It was beautiful and feel like taking a walk at outdoor area instead indoor. While taking a walk along with the river, we can hear the boat rower sing a song to entertain the boat passengers. It was beautiful!
And Venetian Macao is the best places for shopping! Sands Shoppes is The largest indoor shopping mall in Macau, Sands Shoppes offers an amazing retail experience at more than 850 duty free outlets.
