After that, we all hit up the casinos to play for a while....
it was time for afternoon tea and my gf wanted to eat shark fin... which is suppose to be another speciality in Macau, where there are a street full of shark fin soup shops at really affordable price.
We came across this one
it seems pretty crowded, so we gave it a try...
Sharkfin + "Fa Gaau"(dried fish stomach) chicken soup
at $80 bux a pot... we really weren't expecting much... the sharkfin was absolute crap, and the Fa Gaau was the cheapest crap as usual, the biggest suprise was actually the piece of chicken thigh that was use to make the broth.
None of us even bother to finish the soup except me....
After spending a total of $640 and came out in disappointment
We walked further down the street to try out the Shrimp Roe noodles recommended by that bitch on tv.
I didn't even bother to take pictures of it... cuz it sucked so bad. The dried Shrimp roe noodles we got at home was a hell lot better then what was offer and the Shrimp roe mixed with the noodles were tasteless
Again after buying some souvenir at the famous almond cookie shop, we heading back to the casino LOL
After winning more money, we havn't decided where to have dinner, so my sis suggested to go Robuchon a Galera at Hotel Lisboa, which is rated as a Michelin 3 star restaurant...
nevertheless we never planned to go there at first, so she didnt make a reservation and neither did we meet the dress code. LOL... Guess we gotta go back another time.
For dinner we headed to an old fashion seafood restaurant.... ordered shark fin again... this time it cost 4 times as much for one bowl.
once again, this was a huge disappointment. All I could taste was white pepper in the broth
The rest of the food was again sub-par, We can find better at a local "dai pai dong" in Sham Shui Po in HK....
At the end of the day... it was a fun family day trip... but a huge disappointment as we spent way less then we expected and the food came out sucked.... I guess next time will be better as we will pre-book for Robuchon a Galera and thats probably the only place where the money is actually worth spending on.
I would much rather spend my money at the Venetian food court on overpriced fast food from Fatburger, pho hoa etc then those crap out there which is supposedly the macau speciality....
