The entire morning and early afternoon was spent inspecting the many casinos in Macau and getting smelly smoke and cough germs on our clothing. No, they didn’t pay us to do that Talking about cough germs, everyone seemed to be coughing everywhere and no one bothered to cover their mouth! Anyway, we got so hungry walking around, and got even hungrier just trying to find some food!

We had no idea where good food was, so we looked at the map for a place that looked like it might have something decent to eat. Once there though, all we saw were shops and a few dingy-looking eating places (soooo difficult to find a decent cafe!).

So we walked on, going through street after street in search of a bite to eat. Finally we found what looked like a small shopping mall and we thought there must be something there. Once inside though, it didn’t look like it had anything but stores, however the security guard said there was a cafe upstairs, so we went for a look.

The only way up was a vintage-looking elevator, something from a B-rated 70’s movie, but once upstairs, we saw a western-styled cafe. Although we wanted to have some Portuguese/Macau food, we were so starved we were willing to settle for anything, and in the end had a Japanese dish at that cafe!

After leaving the place and walking down a parallel street, lo and behold - we saw where we should have been all along! A street full (ok, not full, but a handful) of eating places ranging from Chinese food, to traditional Portuguese/Macau cuisine.

Tsk tsk tsk!
