Macau City of Dreams, Senado Square & Ruins of St Paul

Visited the old macau area on our second day in Macau.
We walked to City of Dreams (just on the right of Sands Cotai Central) to take the free shuttle bus to its sister hotel, Li Hua hotel, which is nearby Senado Square.

Besides the casino, City of Dreams is FULL of DFS stores.
Almost bought bags again :x So tempted by the DFS-only limited edition colours.

There were huge mirrors along the entire stretch too.
We made full use of them :p

From where we alighted (li hua hotel), it's just a 5-min walk to the senado square.

The last I went, I had fun walking down the stretch of shops.
They're designed very much alike to the European streets!
But this time round, the feeling is very different. Everything is so cheena-ish :/
We didn't shop much in the end.

Also, the weather was quite cold and slight drizzling, makes us hungry!
Wanted to try things we have not ate before.
Saw many many stalls selling this curry 'yong tau foo'-like food, and we went to queue for one, like the locals :D

It says non-spicy curry i think? :)
It taste somewhat like a combination of japanese curry and normal spicy curry!

We made our way straight towards Ruins of St Paul.
Saw a cute durian mascot on the way there, lol.

Ta-dah!

It started drizzling again right after we took this photo.
So we went walking along the street right in front of the ruins of st paul. The entire street sells local products like freshly-made almond cookies, almond flakes butter pastries, egg rolls, hot-from-the-oven portuguese egg tarts whee. I love that street! 
All the stores will be busy dishing out fresh cookies/pastries/ba kwa, so be sure to walk the street with an empty stomach! :p
That way, you can appreciate the samples more and buy more souvenirs back mah, haha.

Will blog about Hong Kong in my next entry.
