Day 4: Macau - Singapore

It was our last day and we were back in Macau. The night before, we have checked into Grand View Hotel at Taipa island. We also got to eat this very nice homemade Chee Cheong Fun (rice flour rolls) from this shop called Biu Kee. It was a short walk from our hotel.

The next day, we went back to Rua do Cunha to get almond cakes/ biscuits and oyster sauce. That street and its surrounding areas has an old charm that I like. On the very first night, we had eaten at this Portuguese restaurant called Dumbo. It was not as nice as Pinnochio (strange how they name their restaurants after cartoon characters).

I didn't realise that this part of Taipa was famous for homemade oyster sauce, XO sauce and prawn paste. My aunt was the one who saw it in one of the old shops when she was there two years back. We bought one bottle of oyster sauce and XO sauce back to try too!

As for almond biscuits, I insisted on buying Koi Kei stuff. My aunt was a little half-hearted and bought from Choi Heong Yuen instead. She kind of regretted coz at the airport, everyone was carrying Koi Kei plastic bags. I told her that Koi Kei's almond biscuits tastes better and besides, Koi Kei does not have any outlets in Singapore while Choi Heong Yuen has. My mentality would be that I would not buy anything that was attainable back home.

With all our goodies, we headed back to the hotel, where we have deposited our luggage with the bell boy. We took out our extra bags to pack and check in.

Oh, and we decided that this would be a good hotel to stay at in the future because it was so convenient. The bus stop is just round the corner and we could take bus 11 or 33 to Rua do Cunha or even to the Senado Square, where all the action is.
