We were staying at the Radisson Blu Hotel Shanghai New World during our stay in Shanghai. On our last night, we wanted to pamper ourselves …
Xian Qiang Fang Restaurant (鲜墙房) : Shanghai Cuisine with Chinese Opera!
China
Tian Zi Fang (田子坊) : An Arts enclave in French Concession Shanghai!
Tian Zi Fang (田子坊) was an area that we visited while we were in Shanghai. Kate had planned for a visit to Tian Zi Fang …
Oriental Pearl Tower Shanghai (东方明珠塔) : Is it worth a visit?
Oriental Pearl Tower Shanghai (东方明珠塔) is a radio and TV tower in the city of Shanghai. Towering at 468 metres, the Oriental Pearl Tower offers splendid views over the entire city of Shanghai. The only shortfall was a cloud of haze affecting the views when we visited. Nonetheless, this post will tell you all the things to see and expect at the Oriental Pearl Tower in Shanghai!
Views from the Oriental Pearl Tower Shanghai
Entry tickets to the Oriental Pearl Tower costs between 120RMB to 220RMB (approximately $24 to $44), inclusive of entry into the Shanghai History Museum. While we were there, we noticed that there were ALOT of people. It was actually quite noisy when we reached the observation deck, due to the chatter and conversations that took place within. In addition, the hazy skyline also dwindled the experience somewhat. Nonetheless, views over the city, the Bund as well as the Huang Pu River was still quite amazing.
At the transparent observation deck, you may have to “jostle” for prime spot. The best spots are already taken by the official photographers. However, if you ask politely, they may offer you the spot and even take a quick shot for you 😉
After the visit to the observation deck, we returned downstairs to visit the Shanghai History Museum which was a great addition to the tour at the Oriental Pearl Tower in Shanghai. Here are the highlights from the visit…
Shanghai History Museum at Oriental Pearl Tower
The Shanghai History Museum tells of how life was like in the golden era of Shanghai in the 1930s. There were many interesting exhibits which really showcased how the rich and famous enjoyed life then in China. What really caught our eye though, was the wedding sedan shown in the picture above. For the bride to sit within the sedan, the decorative structure has to be taken apart piece by piece. After the bride sat within, it would then be placed back piece by piece again! What a piece of art!
The address of Oriental Pearl Tower is located at 1 Century Ave, Pudong, Shanghai, China.

Qibao Old Town (七宝老街) : A feel of historic Shanghai!
Qibao Old Town (or old street; known as 七宝老街 in chinese) is a historic area of Shanghai and is easy accessible via the Shanghai Metro by alighting at the Qibao Station. At Qibao Old Street, you’ll be able to not only enjoy a variety of street foods but also experience the old architecture, especially along the Puhui River.
What to do at Qibao Old Town Shanghai
There are many things to do and attractions in Qibao Old Town in Shanghai. Instead of explaining all that we saw, we’ll show all the amazing and beautiful pictures we took at this scenic and picturesque old town!
As you can see from the pictures above, one of the most beautiful shots can be taken from the bridge with views of the old town. Besides scenic shots of the old town and its intricate architectural structures, the other highlight of visit Qibao is the FOOD!
Things to eat at Qibao Old Town Shanghai
Check out the live demonstration on the making of the Dragon’s Beard Candy!
What we enjoyed about the food at Qibao Old Town is that it is similar to the night markets of Taiwan. Walk and eat, eat and walk!
But if there’s one thing you should try here, it’s the Shanghai ‘soup’ dumpling aka 上海小笼包! Do let us know if you have any other food recommendations at Qibao Old Town in the comments section below!

Yu Garden Shanghai : Discover the secrets within!
Yu Garden Shanghai (also known as Yu Yuan 豫园） is a garden attraction in the old city of Shanghai. It was built some time in the 16th century but had swapped owners several times before finally being rebuilt, reopened and reinstated as a national monument in 1982.
Today, Yu Garden Shanghai is not only a must-visit attraction in Shanghai, but is also a garden with several secrets for visitors to discover…
Old City Shanghai
Description of Yuyuan Garden
Jiuqu Bridge – Bridge with 9 bends @ Yu Garden
Huxin Pavilion – Teahouse in the centre of the lake at Yuyuan
Yu Garden ticketing office
Yu Garden Shanghai Attractions
Before we move on to uncover some secrets within Yu Garden, here are some main attractions of Yuyuan Garden…
海上名园 – Famous garden, north of the river
The engraved stone that greets you at the entrance to Yu Garden
First hall of Yu Garden Shanghai
Picturesque Yu Garden Shanghai views
One of the many garden views in Yu Garden
Platform made of stone in Yuyuan
Bridge across a lake in Yu Garden
The famous 玉玲珑 of Yu Garden
Zooming in on 玉玲珑
玉玲珑 is the famous centre piece of Yu Garden. Also known as the “Naturally Hollowed Jade Boulder”, it embodies a saying “瘦漏皱透“ meaning, Skinny, Leaky, Wrinkled and Transparent. In essence, the saying describes the jade boulder and its uniqueness, with a word play of these 4 words that rhymes. The saying describes the jade boulder as skinny and wrinkled-looking and because of the holes formed in it, it allows light (transparent) to shine through and water (leaky) to seep through.
Yu Hua Hall
Description of Yu Hua Hall
Yu Hua Hall was the study room of the original owner of Yu Garden – Pan Yun Duan. Constructed in the Ming Dynasty, approximately in the 16th century, you’ll soon realise the uniqueness of the furnitures within. They are firstly entirely carved out of wood, no nails used. But more interestingly, you’ll find that the bold outlines of the furniture actually resembles the outlines of modern furnitures today. Meaning to say, trends will return to fashion 500 years later?
Zhao Wall within Yu Garden Shanghai
Description of Zhao Wall
Ancient Opera Stage Yu Garden – whose secret we’ll reveal later…
Another view of the Yu Garden Opera Stage
Secrets within Yu Garden Shanghai
In this section, we’ll reveal some secrets which you may otherwise not notice if you do not look at them carefully…
蝙蝠鹿豫园
This mosaic placed on the floor of exits actually signifies (through the deer), 出路平安 – safety when you leave and enter the house. The bats on the other hand (because of the 2nd part of the word in chinese) signifies 福 or fortune (blessings). The coins surrounding the entire mosaic signifies 财源广进 or influx of wealth.
Talk about significance of a picture eh?
Zoomed in view of the Ancient Opera Stage
Now for the secret of the ancient opera stage…If you take a closer look at the centre of the ancient opera stage, you’ll realise that there’s this spiral cone-shaped structure that is painting in gold. In fact, it acts as an olden day “amplifier” that increases and amplifies the sounds of the performers so that the audience can better hear the performance even though they may be seated a distance away!
Window in Yu Garden Shanghai
Is this window really just a window? If you notice closely, the words 福禄寿喜 are written on the four corners of the frame signifying fortune, prosperity, longevity and happiness!
Framing with a window
This window was created so that when people look through it, they may see an alternate view of the garden, as though the garden is “framed” within the window. How cool is that?!
Dragons of Yu Garden Shanghai
Yu Garden Shanghai is said to be “protected” by many different dragons all around its premise. The different dragons have different characteristics and also tells of which era they are from…
Dragons guarding the entrance to the inner gardens of Yu Garden
Smiley playful dragons – one of the oldest ones in the garden
Another pair of dragon guarding an entrance
A majestic looking dragon
Anything interesting about this dragon? Not unless you look behind…
Yes, a dragon with a spine!

Yang’s Fried Dumpling Shanghai 小杨生煎 : Best Dumplings EVER!
Yang’s Fried Dumpling (aka 小杨生煎) is located at No.269 Wujiang Road, Shanghai, China (Nanjing West Road).
If you’re visiting Shanghai, YOU MUST visit Yang’s Fried Dumplings. The dumplings at 小杨生煎 is an attraction itself and you will (at almost all times of the day) see a long queue outside the stall…
Staff of Yang’s Fried Dumpling 小杨生煎 busy at work
See the staff of 小杨生煎 busy at work? It is because of 2 main reasons.
1. CHEAP CHEAP CHEAP! You wouldn’t and couldn’t imagine this, but 4 dumplings at Yang’s Fried Dumpling only costs 6RMB! What?! That’s only 1.5RMB each or 30 cents SGD each!! AHH!!! SO CHEAP!!!
Yang’s Fried Dumpling 小杨生煎 4 for 6RMB
2. TASTES SUPERB! But the true reason lies in the taste. No doubt, the cheap price is a huge draw but the taste is something that we’ve never tasted (and experienced) before. Firstly, the outer skin is pan fried to a nice crispy texture while the pork inside remains sweet, flavourful and JUICY!
And secondly, we reiterate again, it’s JUICY!!! Notice that we bold juicy. This is because it is RIDICULOUSLY JUICY on your first bite! On our first bite, we were told that the only way to eat 小杨生煎 is to first nibble and suck out the soup first. We did. But when we went in for our first bite, the residual juices still spurt unto us!
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

Top 5 MUST DO Things in Macao : You have not been to Macao unless you have…
There are many things to do in Macao and many attractions as well. But if you ask me what are the MUST do things in Macao, this is our list of the top 5 MUST DO things in Macao…
Book Here with Klook: Popular Activities in Macau
Top 5 MUST DO, MUST VISIT, MUST SEE, MUST TRY Things in Macao
1. MUST Visit – Historic Centre of Macao
A visit to Macao is never complete unless you have visited the historic sites of the Ruins of St. Paul’s, Mount Fortress, Guia Fortress, Guia Lighthouse and the Macao Maritime Museum. Take time to learn about the history of Macao. In that you way you will be able to better appreciate the people and culture (& Food!) of Macao.
2. MUST EAT – Portuguese Egg Tart & Pork Buns
Portuguese egg tarts are world renowned because of its crispy yet flaky outer crust with its rich egg tart fillings. Pork buns on the other hand is flavourful with a tinge of fatty guilt. Yum!
Travel Tip : When you see a stall with portuguese egg tarts or pork buns, DO NOT WAIT TO TRY THEM! Just stop, get one to share. Otherwise, you may just tell yourself that “there will be another stall” and eventually when you leave Macao, you may not have tried them at all!
3. MUST TRY – Sampling at Koi Kei Bakery (鉅記)
There are SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO many Koi Kei Bakery stalls in Macao and at almost every turn of the street in the city centre, you may stumble upon one! The best part is that sampling at Koi Kei Bakery is free! There are so many products to choose from including almond, cashew, walnut cookies and an assortment of candies and gifts. But our favourite is the Egg Roll With Seaweed And Shredded Pork. Especially when it is freshly made!
Book Here with Klook: Popular Activities in Macau
Travel Tip 1 : You will have to lurk inconspicuously while maintaining “surveillance” over the tables as the chefs out on their final touches before the cookies, candies or egg rolls are complete. In this way, you will be able to sample the freshest bakes from Koi Kei!
Travel Tip 2 : Always go Koi Kei on an empty stomach (a cup of coffee is preferred). You may be tempted to try so many of its products that it can actually become a light meal!
4. MUST SEE – Cotai Strip
Modelled after the Strip in Las Vegas USA, Cotai Strip is the entertainment arena of Macao. With shows, shopping and many top notch restaurants here, you will be spoilt for choice on what to do next in Macao.
5. MUST ENJOY – Luxury Hotels
Pamper yourself in one of the many luxury hotels in Macao. Our stay at the Hotel Royal Macau was an enjoyable and it did not cost us a bomb. So kick back, relax and lap up the life of luxury in Macao!

21 Amazing Travel Experiences in Hong Kong!
There are actually many things to do in Hong Kong. Attractions in Hong Kong abound as well! But to sum up our recent trip, here are 21 Amazing Travel Experiences in Hong Kong you ought to check out!
Book Here with Klook: Popular Activities in Hong Kong
Things to do, Attractions and Travel Experiences in Hong Kong
1. Breathtaking views overlooking Victoria Harbour
For a room with the best views over Victoria Harbour, look no further than Ibis Hotel Central Sheung Wan. The rooms are decent and the price is reasonable. A night here will make your stay in Hong Kong a very much memorable one.
Read more about our stay at Ibis Hotel Central Sheung Wan.
2. How about views over Tsuen Wan Harbour?
While we’re on the topic of views over harbours. Why not check out the L Hotel Nina Convention Centre with splendid views over Tsuen Wan Harbour? It also offers a great base to shopping and food in the vicinity. Check out this post on our stay at L Hotel Nina Convention Centre.
3. Avenue of the Stars
Many would say a visit to Hong Kong would not be complete without a visit to the Avenue of the Stars. With stars such as the “Four Heavenly Kings” (who can both sing and act by the way) among the many Hong Kong celebrities, who can dispute that Hong Kong is indeed the Hollywood of the East?
4. Ocean Park
Having been around for 40 years, is Ocean Park still worth a visit? Our answer is a resounding YES! With shows, rides, attractions and play area for the kids, Ocean Park is really an attraction in Hong Kong for the entire family!
5. Countdown at Victoria Harbour
New Year’s Eve Countdown at Victoria Harbour makes an unforgettable experience! Just remember that the last 10 counts will most probably be in Cantonese!
6. Central’s Mid Level Escalators
Originally built to reduce travelling time between Queens Road and Conduit Road, this 800 metre stretch of escalator and walkway system in the longest in the world. Through this walkway, the Mid Level Escalators also cover an ascent of 135 metres. Today, it is very much a tourist attraction as it is a form of commute for Hong Kongers.
Where to shop in Hong Kong
People always say Hong Kong is about 买东西,吃东西 (buy stuff, eat stuff). It’s true! And here’s a low down of where you can shop till your heart’s content in Hong Kong…
7. Temple Street Market
There are several night markets in Hong Kong and Temple Street is one of the more prominent ones. Here you can pick up clothings, bags, souvenirs and gifts. Just remember to haggle a bit and compare prices before making the deal!
8. Ladies Street
Another prominent market is Ladies Street at Mong Kok. Do not be fooled by the name as the stalls here do not only offer products for ladies. Like Temple Street, Ladies Street offer a 1 kilometre stretch of shopping options that caters to your bargaining desires!

9. Elements Shopping Mall
For more conventional shopping options, visit Elements Shopping Mall at Kowloon. With its 5 different zones (Metal, Wood, Earth, Fire, Water) and a myriad of shopping options, you’ll be spoilt for choice when you visit Elements.
10. Citygate Outlet Mall Tung Chung
For luxury shopping at affordable prices, head on down to Citygate Outlet Mall at Tung Chung. Having been to Woodbury Common Shopping Outlet in the USA, we did not think that we would be doing much shopping here. We were wrong. Prices were quite attractive but do note that they could be off-season items. Nonetheless, a good shopping destination in Hong Kong.
Where to eat in Hong Kong
11. Tim Ho Wan Dim Sum
Touted as the cheapest Michelin-starred restaurant, Tim Ho Wan serves up dim sum the way it is supposed to be. Do not miss the “Four Heavenly Kings” that include the famous baked bun with BBQ Pork (above). Definitely better than the one that has opened in Singapore. Do check out our Minimalist Guide to Eating at Tim Ho Wan.
12. Lei Garden (Atas Chinese Food)
You may expect to pay a little bit more at Lei Garden, but you will not regret the experience. We were pleasantly surprised and were eagerly anticipating how the next dish would turn out as we tucked into a sumptious meal here. Great service and ambience too!
13. Lan Fong Yuen Milk Tea
Serving up cups of milk tea since 1952, Lan Fong Yuen is the place to go to enjoy a taste of traditional milk tea at a traditional setting (old kopitiam style). While at it, do try out their bo luo you (but maybe not the pork bun…)
14. Mak Mun Kee Noodles Shop (麦文记面家)
For some of the best noodles that Hong Kong has to offer, head right on to Mak Mun Kee Noodles Shop. I tell you, the noodles are Q (springy), ingredients are fresh and generous. One word to sum it up. SHIOK!
15. Desserts at Austraian Dairy Company
Still have no idea why its called Australian Dairy Company (when it’s in Hong Kong!!). But you’ve got to try their steamed egg puddings. Both white and yellow versions are unique experiences that we’ve tried for the first time here. Creation of a genius.
16. Dim Sum at Lian Xiang Ju
For a more traditional setting for dim sum, Lian Xiang Ju is a great place that we accidentally stumbled upon (by stalking an old aunty no less). No regrets here. Great food, old world charm in its setting at a great price. Even ang mos visit! Maybe we should continue stalking old aunties and uncles? :p Read more about our visit to Lian Xiang Ju here.

17. Boatsman Congee
This is a special mention for the best congee we’ve ever eaten. It is from Hai Xing Congee shop. No, we do not know where it is (ah!!) because we just headed into a place for breakfast and that was it. But the taste was just ma ma mia! Rich, flavourful and milky (yes we do not know how they do it but it is really milky in a savoury, nice kind of way). Definitely an unforgettable experience.
PLEASE tell us its location in the comments section below if you know where it is!!
18. How about some street food?
Tuck into street foods such as curry fishballs, lok lok, instant noodles and those small round egg waffles known as 鸡蛋仔. You’ll know it when you see it, just follow your senses (yes, sense of smell).
19. How a typical Hong Kong Cafe is like
You have not been to Hong Kong unless you’ve visited a Hong Kong Cafe. Feel the vibe, order the toast, milk tea and instant noodles. Feel how the waiters hover over your tables, like bald eagles, waiting to swoop in when your plates and cups are empty. That is the way of life dude.
Side trips from Hong Kong
20. Shen Zhen
You may want to make only 1 trip to Shen Zhen while you’re in Hong Kong. Just to shop and eat at a much cheaper price across the border. Nonetheless, being restricted in use of credit cards was a first for us (VISA and MASTERCARDS are not accepted in Shen Zhen or at least not commonly). Makes you re-think how much you rely on your cards these days.
21. Macao
There are so many things to do and attractions in Macau! Visit the historic centre of Macao, tuck into the famous portuguese egg tart or simply take in the sights and sounds. Macau is definitely an excellent side trip from Hong Kong.

Day 7 Hong Kong Trip : Side Trip to Shen Zhen & Debunking Recommendations
On Day 7 of our Hong Kong trip, Kate planned for a trip to Shen Zhen. In the morning, we woke up (stayed at Ah Shan Hostel) and started to look for a typical Hong Kong Cafe for our breakfast. We visited a congee place and had one of the best boatsman congee (艇仔粥)!
Book Here with Klook: Popular Activities in Hong Kong
Of course we had more than that for breakfast (I mean with Tom around)…
After a hearty meal, we headed to the Mong Kok MTR where we took a 40 mins ride to Luo Hu checkpoint at Shen Zhen China.
The truth is that a trip from Hong Kong to Shen Zhen is very much like a trip from Singapore to Malaysia. Through the higher standard of living, commuters derive a higher purchasing power at the neighbouring city. So likewise, we went shopping!
Cheap Manicure
Cheap Food
Cheap Shopping
Frankly speaking, it was relatively mundane and we would prolly not make another trip over if we were to visit Hong Kong (rather use the time to find more dim sum places in Hong Kong!)
Book Here with Klook: Popular Activities in Hong Kong
We decided to use the night to visit 2 eateries which we found from the recommendations of discoverhongkong.com
Unfortunately, the recommendations turned out to be not as good as we have anticipated. Which prompted us to write the post about “Debunking Recommendations from DiscoverHongKong.com : What NOT to eat in Hong Kong”

Although it was a challenge for both Kate and I (absolutely not for the faint of hearts!), it was also absolutely rewarding to enjoy the views at the top and to finally have visited one of the major attractions of the Historical Centre of Macao.
After returning to Hong Kong in the afternoon, we headed to our next rest stop – Ah Shan Hostel. Another no-frills hostel, the room came with attached bathroom, TV as well as a bed, sufficient for the both of us.
Then came one of the highlights of our trip – our visit to Tim Ho Wan Mong Kok Hong Kong! Read more about our visit on our Minimalist Guide to Eating at Tim Ho Wan Hong Kong!
Suffice to say that we were thoroughly satisfied without burning any holes in our pockets! To round up the evening, we headed for more shopping at Ladies Street – a night market selling clothes, bags, toys and souvenirs…

Hong Kong Trip Day 5 – Continuing Our Travels in Macao!
Day 5 of our Hong Kong, Macao, Shen Zhen trip sees us continuing our travels in Macao! After checking into Hotel Royal Macao, we started out on foot to visit the Historical Centre of Macao!
Book Here with Klook: Popular Activities in Hong Kong
As our room was not ready as yet. We decided to head straight to the most iconic structure in Macao – Ruins of St. Paul’s!
After visiting the ruins, Kate decided that she was too tired for a climb up to Mount Fortress. So Tom took the challenge (for our readers!) and ascended the fort…
The view from the top of Mount Fortress was indeed breath-taking. While there, you may also wish to decide on a visit to the Museum of Macau…
After descending down from the Fort, Kate and I headed back to the streets in the general direction of Senado Square. Along the way we savoured the tender pork bun!
After some quick bites, we proceeded to the area close to the Maritime Museum of Macao but stopped along the way to catch sights such as the St. Dominic’s Church @ Senado Square…
Initially, we did not intend to enter the museum. However, as the sun started to bear down on us, we decided to go in – for a mere 10 MOP. Turns out to be a great decision as there was a good collection of exhibits and history about maritime in Macao (Portuguese & Chinese Maritime history too) for visitors to enjoy.

Following the visit, we headed back to our hotel and en-route, we took some scenic photos around the Sai Van Lake
Hotel Royal Macao was one of the best hotel we’ve decided to splurge on in Macao and here’s why…
As the weather was actually quite cold, the indoor heated pool just made the swim all that relaxing (after all that walking!). Snoozing in the comfy bed also revitalised us for the evening ahead as we checked out the glitzy hotels of Macao!
We then started to feel really peckish (Kate’s atas word for hungry) and we popped by Wa Fung dim sum restaurant. Turns out to be one of the best dim sums we had in a while!
To round off the night, we decided to head back to Senado Square to get some gifts and snacks for our friends and relatives. Along the way, we stopped by for some desserts – Red Bean Milk Pudding!

The Minimalist Guide to Eating at Tim Ho Wan Hong Kong!
So you have read our review of Tim Ho Wan Plaza Singapura and is now dying to visit the orignal Tim Ho Wan in Hong Kong? Here is the minimalist guide to eating at Tim Ho Wan @ Mong Kok. Just follow these 3 simple steps to enjoy dim sum at THW – touted as the cheapest Michelin-Starred Restaurant!
Book Here with Klook: Popular Activities in Hong Kong
Step 1 : How to Queue at Tim Ho Wan Hong Kong
First of all, you must know that THERE WILL BE A QUEUE OUTSIDE Tim Ho Wan. If you think that you can just waltz into THW, eat your dim sum and whizz out in 20 minutes, you could be the owner of Tim Ho Wan OR you just arrived in Asia and not know the ways and customs of Asians with regard to food.
Therefore, you must always go to Tim Ho Wan @ Mong Kok with a plan. The plan is therefore to go straight to the entrance, grab your queue number and head on to Ladies Street to do some shopping…
The reason is because the typical waiting time is about 45 minutes to 1 hour during meal times.
So Step 1 : Grab your queue number and head for shopping good times at Ladies Street!
Step 2 : What to order at Tim Ho Wan Hong Kong
For your first order, go for the “4 Heavenly Kings” – Steamed Egg Cake (香滑马来糕), Vermicelli Roll with Pig’s Liver（黄沙猪润肠）, Baked Bun with BBQ Pork （酥皮叉烧包）, Pan Fried Carrot Cake （香煎萝卜糕）
Tim Ho Wan’s Famous Baked Bun with BBQ Pork – 3 for only 17HKD!
Essentially, all the versions at THW Hong Kong tastes better than the Singapore version. The star of the show, the baked bun with BBQ was crisp on the outside, fluffy on the bite and flowing with BBQ (chinese style) flavours on the inside. Thrashing the Singapore version hands down.
Before trying the steamed egg cake at Tim Ho Wan Mong Kok, we never thought that sweet and savoury dim sums could be eaten together. They certainly can. Each bite was an education in the art of gourmet food altogether. The steamed egg cake was surprisingly good by itself. It’s like a brown sugar cake, not too sweet but superbly fluffy. The aroma of the brown sugar just permeates through your taste buds. Mmm…
The pan fried carrot cake or turnip cake was very aromatic. The fried mini shrimps (known affectionately as hei bi in Singapore) brought out the flavour of the turnip. Crisp on the outer layer and flavourful within. The texture of the turnip could also be felt with each bite – very much unlike factory-churned ones.
Instead of going for the pig’s liver vermicelli roll (chee cheong fun), we decided to go for the Beef version and we were thoroughly intrigued! The beef was SUPER tender – as though it has been pounded many times over. The roll was springy and taong (chewy or “Q” as they would call in Taiwan). Together, it was a perfect match!
So Step 2: Go straight for the “4 Heavenly Kings”, you wont go wrong with the Signatures
Step 3 : Order anything else you wish to savour at Tim Ho Wan Hong Kong
Maybe except the siew mai. We thought it was quite normal. The beef ball with beancurd skin on the other hand is a MUST TRY!
Beef Ball with Beancurd Skin – 16HKD @ Tim Ho Wan Hong Kong
Beef balls were oh so tender and Q! You could literally press against it and it would resume its shape! The sauce that is poured over it was not too salty and has a light tang to it. This added to the flavours of the beef balls. Yum!
So Step 3 : Order what catches your sight but just dont order the siew mai (eventhough you may be tempted to!)

Guia Fortress and Lighthouse Macao : An Elusive Fortress Found!
Guia Fortress was one of the landmarks that we told ourselves “WE MUST VISIT!”. On our last day in Macao, it proved to be elusive. The paths and walkways that kept pointing us to Guia Fortress, seemingly never ends! Eventhough the Guia Lighthouse was in sight, it seemed miles away…at some point, we almost gave up…
Book Here with Klook: Popular Activities in Macau
In search of the elusive Guia Fortress
The Guia Fortress together with Mount Fortress was instrumental in the defence of Macao against the Dutch invasion in 1622. The Guia Chapel was built in 1622 while the Guia Lighthouse was only erected in 1865.
So here begins our “treacherous” journey in search of the elusive Guia Fortress…
Guia Hill was where it all started. We slept in late that morning and began our climb up the hills of Guia. CAN YOU SEE HOW STEEP THIS SLOPE IS?!
Soon we came to another sign…seemed harmless. Guiding us in the right direction…
By the time we reached this sign, we had already circled the Guia park for quite a while. At this point, we almost gave up. Especially when we saw the next slope…
Wah lao eh! More slope?!
But Kate was very determined. Not sure what had gotten into her that morning. So we continued to conquer the slopes. One after another. Then it came…the first sight of Guia Fortress!
Conquering Guia Fortress
Again, at this point we thought that since we have arrived at Guia Fortress, we can finally turn back. But the other side of us told us to persevere on to Guia Lighthouse – which we did!

Arriving at Guia Lighthouse
All was not that terrible. Along the way, we managed to catch great views over the city and also saw this intricately groomed bush (ala Edward Scissor Hands)

Well, the moral of the story is this…to see Guia Lighthouse and Fortress, you must conquer the slopes along the way!
Ok, the true moral is that there are many challenges in life, but let’s persevere and look forward to reaching our “Guia Lighthouse” yah? Remember to take in the sights and sounds (like the views along the way) and enjoy each moment!

3 Reasons Why You MUST Try Dim Sum in Hong Kong and Macao!
As we wondered about the glittering hotels of MGM, Wynn and Grand Lisboa on the main Macao Peninsula, we started to feel peckish. It was around 4pm and so we thought about grabbing a quick bite before having dinner later on. Since it was just a quick bite, we decided not to splurge (yet) and went into the streets behind to look for a eating joint. And so we came upon this restaurant – Wa Fung Dim Sum Restaurant.
Book Here with Klook: Popular Activities in Hong Kong
The restaurant was practically empty as you can see in this subsequent picture…
At first, we were a little apprehensive, skeptical even. Usually if there’s no one in the restaurant, it does not bode well for the restaurant (or for that matter the customer – us). The service though was ok, as the Aunty rumbled on in Cantonese, we started to speak in Chinese and got some of our orders underway.
The result? This post – 3 Reasons WHY YOU MUST TRY DIM SUM IN HONG KONG AND MACAO!
Top 3 Reasons Why You MUST Try Dim Sum in Hong Kong and Macao
Reason No. 1 : We never expected to “Bump” right into this GREAT TASTING DIM SUM!
You would not believe this but this was actually one of the best char siew chee cheong fun we’ve ever tasted…
The white outer layer (the chee cheung fun) was springy and chewy (VERY TAONG!) leaving you wanting for more. The char siew bits were fatty, juicy and oh so flavourful! The combination was just exceptionally heavenly!
The custard bun on the other hand was the kind that bursts out when you take a bite into it! So be REALLY careful! Leaves you slurping (on the custard) and chewing on the bun – all at the same time! :p
Reason No. 2 : Generous Authentic Dim Sum
We also went for the classics such as century egg porridge, har gau and siew mai. These classics showed the authenticity of eating dim sum in areas such as Hong Kong and Macao…
Only the freshest ingredients were used and the dim sum just revels in its simplicity. Fresh ingredients, masterful concoction of these ingredients coupled with timeless tradition, made these dishes so marvelously tasty!
Reason No. 3 : All at a great price!
Can you believe that this huge plate of Curry Beef Rice (with tender beef and tendon) was only 38 MOP?! (6 SGD!) In a restaurant no less!

After our sumptuous meal (remember it was initially supposed to be only a snack?!), we realised that staff from the hotels nearby also pre-ordered their dinner here. If the locals hit this joint, it must be good right?
So for the above 3 reasons, give yourself a treat at one of the dim sum restaurants while you’re in Hong Kong and Macao!

Macao Maritime Museum : Great Price Good Exhibits
Kate and I didn’t intend to visit the Macao Maritime Museum. We were actually wondering around the Historic Centre of Macao when we realised that there was a Maritime Museum! As the weather was getting hot, we thought it would be a good idea to catch a breather and enjoy some air-conditioning in the museum. The entry was only 10MOP ($1.5 SGD) so we thought “why not?”
Book Here with Klook: Popular Activities in Macau
What to see at the Macao Maritime Museum
There are actually several sections in the Museum.
A section on Maritime Ethnology tells of the various traditions associated with fishermen and in general, living by the sea. Various fishing techniques and even legends are depicted in this section. However, our favourite section is the Maritime History section…
This section depicts the Maritime history and development of the Portuguese and Chinese. You will be able to see models of many interesting vessels of times past. The Maritime Technology segment was also enjoyable where you get to “interact” with some of the exhibits and also see past inventions such as this wheel-driven boat…

Location & Address of Macao Maritime Museum
The Macao Maritime Museum is located at 1, Largo do Pagode da Barra, Macau
Did you know that there’s even a small aquarium in the museum that you can visit as well? So all in all, we thought that the visit to the Macao Maritime Museum was certainly well worth it – even if its just for a shade from the sun and a quick visit to the toilet…it’s clean! :p

Historic Centre of Macao : Ruins of Saint Paul’s, Mount Fortress & More!
The Historic Centre of Macao has several world renowned sites such as the Ruins of Saint Paul’s (often appearing in movies) as well as the Mount Fortress. In this post, we’re gonna introduce you to what you can see and do at the Historic Centre of Macao!
Book Here with Klook: Popular Activities in Macau
Historic Centre of Macao : Ruins of Saint Paul’s
Ruins of St. Paul’s is one of the most iconic structure in Macao. Often seen in movies, it was listed as one of UNESCO’s World Heritage Site in 2005.
Ruins of Saint Paul’s actually refers to the facade of the remains of what was Church of Mater Dei and the St. Paul’s College (built in 1602-1640). Both were destroyed by a fire in 1835. More description of the site as shown
If you take a closer look at the facade of the Church, it actually has several levels as described in the text above. What makes it unique is its fusion of eastern and western influences merging into this intricately designed building. That’s what makes it a perfect spot for photography enthusiasts as well!
Here’s how the interior of St. Paul’s Ruins look like…
Historic Centre of Macao : Mount Fortress
Built from 1617 to 1626, Mount Fortress was one of the main defence against seaward attacks and was crucial in holding off the attacks of the Dutch on Macao in 1622.
The climb to the top was actually quite tiring! So much so that Kate did not even want to try! But if you have taken the arduous walk, you would have been rewarded with this view!
View from the top of Mount Fortress Macao!
While you’re at the top of Mount Fortress, you can also visit the Museum of Macau…
The Museum of Macao features the history and culture of Macao, depicting its past, reveling in its arts and traditions and showing a little of the contemporary Macao.

Historic Centre of Macao : Sights and Sounds near Senado Square
If you take a look at one of the pictures at the stairs of the Ruins of Saint Paul’s, you will notice a lady taking a photo in the opposite direction from the facade of the ruins. She is actually taking a photo of the streets below the steps…
After a long and tiring walk, the best way to re-energise is through the wide array of food in and around Senado Square!
Closer to the Senado Square, you will also notice these historic buildings…

Hotel Royal Macau : Luxury at a Central Location!
Hotel Royal Macau is one of our favourite hotel during our side trip to Macau. Not only is Hotel Royal Macau centrally located, it also is equipped with 5 stars facilities such as the gym and heated swimming pool! Just what we needed when we were there in the dead of winter!

Facilities at Hotel Royal Macau
We sort of got lost along the way to the hotel but an old grandpa was helpful enough by stopping to ask if we needed help. He not only pointed us in the general direction, he crossed traffic with us and showed us the way to the hotel! Talk about hospitality of the locals!
The staff of the hotel lobby were very friendly. Given that it was the “peak hour” for checking-in, the staff were still very patient and spoke to us in good English (eventhough we were obviously ethnic Chinese – no assumptions there). The concierge then took our bags up and showed us our room. In addition, you can also get travel ideas and dining tips from the concierge. They also gave us some recommendations which we will be covering in our subsequent posts!
It was really nice to be able to swim in a nicely heated pool during winter. Sort of reminded us of our stay at the Park Plaza Victoria Hotel in Amsterdam. With the ray of the sun covering the swimming pool plus the spacious tropical setting, it really made the swim all that much enjoyable. Screaming kids adds to the party too…
The other facilities include a small gym, sauna and steam bath. The norm for fitness centres of hotels.

Superior Room at Hotel Royal Macau
We had the twin superior room at Hotel Royal (separate beds for 1 night! Yay!). The room was clean and exuberated a little bit of class. Especially in the bath room…
There were AIGNER SCENTED toiletries in the bathroom! This made our baths that much more enjoyable with an added touch of class! The beds were comfortable, the ones that you would like to just slumber all day in? Yup, that kind! 🙂

One of the major attractions at Cotai Strip has got to be the Venetian. In addition to the tables, there’s lots of entertainment options such as shows as well as dining here. Plus, it’s REALLY HUGE!

Taipa Village Macau : Houses Museum, Pork Buns, Portuguese Egg Tarts!
Taipa is one of the islands that is connected to the Macau main city. One of the main attractions here is the Taipa Village where you can take a walk through historic lanes and sites. Since we’re staying at the Regency Hotel Macau, we decided to take a walk to Taipa Village, catch a glimpse of historic sites such as the Taipa Houses Museum and perhaps get some local pastries as gifts.
Book Here with Klook: Popular Activities in Macau
What to eat at Taipa Village Macau
Once you reach the main walking street at Taipa Village, there are a couple of things that you should do. First, visit Koi Kei Pastry (鉅記). Well, because as true blue Singaporeans, you’d like free food tasting right? There’s a large variety of food tasting available here. In fact, you can really skip breakfast altogether and have a meal there. Just remember to bring your own coffee yah?
Along the same street, besides the freebies that you can try at Koi Kei, do try out the famous pork buns and portuguese egg tarts of Macau. Before visiting Macau, we actually heard a “horror story” from our aunty who visited Macau some time ago. Since portuguese egg tarts were plentiful (sold at almost every corner of the street), she decided to put it off each time she saw it. Guess what? She left Macau without trying the portuguese egg tart!
So having learnt from this episode, we decided to sink our mouth into the first decent portuguese eggtart we saw and this was it…
The thing we really enjoyed was that it was freshly, hot off the oven. The stall owner literally peeled the tart off its holder just before serving us. Piping hot, just the way to enjoy a great portuguese egg tart. The crust was fluffy and the tart itself was rich yet cuddly on the inside. Yummy, just that its a little oily. But well, something’s gotta give right?
Attractions at Taipa Macau
Other than food, the main attraction at Taipa has got to be the Taipa Houses Museum.
These are old colonial houses that have been restored and are now open to the public to have a look at how colonial living was like back in the days.
You can also take some great pictures at the “Our Lady of Carmel Church” as well as the “Dra Launnda Mesparteiro Gardens”. Happened that this day when we visited, there was a flower exhibition going on and Kate reveled in taking some great close up shots!
Book Here with Klook: Popular Activities in Macau
Well, I must say that Kate has done well. These shots were taken with a “point & shoot” camera. Not bad eh? (Again, a shoutout to camera sponsors! :p)
There were also some cute animal figures that featured at the exhibition…
How to get to Taipa Village Macau
From Regency Hotel, it was just a short 15 minutes walk away (remember that Kate and I enjoy strolls, especially in the cool weather 🙂

Regency Hotel Macau : A 5 Stars Hotel?
On the Klookwebsite, Regency Hotel Macau is actually rated as a 5 stars hotel. However, our experience during our recent stay was not up to the 5 stars standard. But then again, it could have been due to the winter season.

Breakfast at Regency Hotel Macau
The breakfast at Regency Hotel was quite normal, in fact, it was a little disappointing. Although the spread looked good, the taste had ALOT of room for improvement…
Although the picture above looked nice, the food was quite bad. The noodles was bland. Even for a noodle person like myself, I found it quite difficult to go for a 2nd mouth (not 2nd round). The bun had a VERY THICK skin and the filling inside was VERY LITTLE. To put the “icing on the cake”, the coffee was really just water with colouring – one of the worst coffee we’ve had in a while.
Well, to enjoy a breakfast here, you will have to go for eggs, sausage with milk or orange. Cant really go wrong with this combination.
How to get to Regency Hotel Macau
Regency Hotel Macau is located at 2 Estrada Almirante Marques Esparterio, Taipa Island, Macau. We took Bus No. 28A from the ferry terminal and it took about 20 minutes or so. The bus drivers are quite friendly just that they may not have change for notes. So remember to bring sufficient loose change.

Only make a side trip from Hong Kong to Shen Zhen if…
Many people have told us about the side trips that you can make from Hong Kong. The main recommendations are usually Macao and Shen Zhen. We totally enjoyed Macao (especially the Historic Centre of Macao) but not so much for Shen Zhen. So this post is to let our readers know that you should only make a side trip to Shen Zhen if you are interested in the following…
Book Here with Klook: Popular Activities in Hong Kong
Hong Kong to Shen Zhen Reason No. 1: You are interested in wholesale goods
The Old Dong Men (老东门商城) shopping area is actually a wholesale centre. As you can see from the picture above, many merchants from all over the city come to sell or get their goods here. There are also many Singaporeans who make regular trips here to source for goods to be sold in Singapore or to be sold online (not us, not us!)
Hong Kong to Shen Zhen Reason No. 2: You are looking for cheap food and shopping
At the Old Dong Men Shopping District, there are loads of shopping opportunities…
Cheap Manicure
Cheap Food
Cheap Shopping
You can also choose to take a walk from the Convention Centre all the way to the next MTR shopping park via the Link City. Again prices are cheaper compared to HK (guess thats why Hong Kongers themselves make trips here – somewhat like Singapore and Malaysia). But you have to note that most shops do not accept conventional credit cards like VISA and MASTERCARD. Hence, you will have to equip yourself with some RMB (Ren Min Bi).
How we got from Hong Kong to Shen Zhen
It is relatively easy to get from Hong Kong to Shen Zhen. For us, we took the MTR from Mong Kok to the Luo Hu check point. It was about a 40 minutes right. Once you exit, you will notice this big structure that indicates to you that you have arrived in Luo Hu, Shen Zhen, China.
Book Here with Klook: Popular Activities in Hong Kong
After exiting the check point, simply follow the signs to the Chinese MTR.
As you can see from the Shen Zhen MTR map above, it is relatively convenient to travel around in Shen Zhen via MTR and the rides are fairly cheap as well. Most rides cost less than a dollar.

All in all, it was a nice experience to have taken a trip to Shen Zhen. To experience that China is no longer as ulu as we thought and the food culture as well (had quite a number of spicy foods and BBQ meats). Bet Kate totally enjoyed her cheap manicure.
But if you ask me if I would take the trip back again? Given the long journey and the similarities of a modern city, I would likely say no.
Nonetheless, share with us your experience at Shen Zhen in our comments section below!

You will notice that this particular shop is called Hai Xing Porridge Shop. It means that although it serves staples like toast and milk tea for breakfast, its signature is porridge! We ordered the boatsman congee and it was one of the best congee we’ve ever eaten!
Legend has it that in the past, to make a quick meal, fishermen or boatsman would throw rice and everything else they could find into a pot and let it simmer. The result is an enjoyable bowl of boatsman congee. This version has century eggs, pork, pork stomach, chicken, tendon, squid along with a really enjoyable milky taste!
We also had fried dough (you tiao), soyabean milk as well as a peanut butter toast…
