Asia Adventures: Day Eleven- Inside the Grand Macau Venetian!

Inside the Grand Venetian!


Most of the day was spent eating so you're in for a treat! You'll be jealous and your mouths will be drooling over the food that I'm going to show you...
 
We were craving the Portuguese egg tarts, so we decided to take a trip to the Lees Storwey Bakery again to treat ourselves with a box of six this time. We got lucky too because they had just come out of the oven.
Here's a picture:




By the way, it is always best to book a table at restaurants in Macau because what we decided to do was not book a place at the restaurant Zi Yat Heen at the Four Seasons hotel (two Michelin star restaurant) and turned out there wasn't any available tables at the time which was 2:00pm and the only other seats available was an hour later.
During that time, we strolled off to buy the tickets to see the House of Dancing Waters in the City of Dreams, the only time we actually exited the Venetian.
If you've not heard of the play, it is like a typical musical but with different performances such as motorbiking, diving and many other random things.
Our show was at 5:00pm which gave us plenty of time to eat dim sum which is pretty all they did and is famous for here at Zi Yat Heen.

 
This was the entrance to City of Dreams..



Outside the threatre


 












I am very impressed with the food quality and service at this restaurant. I got to try many different dishes that I would not usually go for in a normal dim sum place, so that was nice!

I did not think the desserts were all that special but the main dim sum dishes were so delicious, especially the abolone pastry dish. I didn't know what it was until after when I looked it up on the internet.

After feasting on dim sum for two hours, we went back to the City of Dreams to watch the show which was starting at 5:00pm, the whole show was about an hour and a half.




 

The House of Dancing Water is a must see!, it is very different to the other typical shows that you see in other parts of the world.

This show has different entertainments such as motorbiking and diving. There is also a story to the show too which is good!, we were lucky to see a Christmas special and so the show carried on for another fifteen minutes.

Our rest of the day consisted of dinner at Jade Dragon, it did not realise the place was going to be that posh and I felt quite trampy with the clothes I had on.
 
Jade dragon serves traditional Shanghai food and it is highly rated on TripAdvisor and once again we didn't book a sit but luckily they had plenty of space and seats for us to choose from so that was all good!

Here are some of the foods were ate there:
















The service was pretty good and the only thing that bothered me was probably the building works which happened right next to us.
They gave us complimentary desserts, I noticed a bit of a trend going on with the complimentary desserts during my time in Macau. It was so sad to leave so soon.
We got the ferry bus to our chosen turbo jet which was called the Cotai Water Jet. Once again there were unlicensed taxi drivers trying to give us a ride and said it would be much quicker. Don't get the unless you wanna end up paying more than it actually is.
We got home at about 10:00 ish, but that was only the Macau ferry port in Sheung Wan, we then got the MTR back to our house, that was such a long journey for another two hours.
There will be more Asia Adventures coming shortly!
Love you all :)
Mwah!
