Macau Peninsula, Macau, SAR Of China (Part 5 of 6)

Morning of second day in Macau, we take a taxi to Rua Norte do Mercado Almirante Lacerda to have a true yum cha experience. Opened since 1963, Casa De Cha Long Wa (龍華茶樓) is one place to have a taste of fresh & traditional dim sum. Dim sum here are self-service, so, just feel free to pick your favourites. We have not eaten traditional dim sum, hence not use to it. We still prefer to eat improvised dim sum of today.

Dim Sum

After breakfast, we have a feel of the local market by visiting the Red Market. In my homeland, such market is getting lesser. It brings back memories of my childhood where my mum will bring my sister and myself to the wet market.

After visiting Red Market, we hit the road, Avenida Horta e Costa (高士德大馬路) which is a long street full of shops that begins at the Red Market (Hung Kai Si) and extends as far as the Flora Gardens (Yi Lung Hou Fa Yuen) beneath Guia Hill. The avenue has several up-market shops specializing in, among other things, clothing and shoes, electronic items and cameras. But the best bargains are found in the streets surrounding the street. The historic "Three Lamps" (Rotunda Carlos da Maia) and surrounding streets are full of tiny shops selling many kinds of goods at bargain prices.
