2007 05 13 - Taipa, Macau

Breakfast with the locals from Taipa, Macau. We took the remaining 2 puo luo buns and tried other pastry (walnut cake and swiss rolls). Located at Rua de Cunha, this is a small coffeeshop not to be missed.

Portugese egg tarts are simply heavenly from Choi Heong Yuen bakery (established since 1935). Each cost MOP6.

The Taipa Houses-Museum, the Carmo Church, the Carmo Library, and the two little gardens, all together, form one of the eight views of Macau. All of these attractions are located in one area, near and along the Avenida da Praia.

Souveniors : Macau stamps are worth collecting. A perfect gift would be to send a postcard affixed with Macau stamps. Just have to wait patiently for the postcard to reach the destination.
