New pictures have been posted on October 22, 2010! In the good ol' USA, it'll be getting colder. In the plains of Illinois, it will soon be getting very much colder! But Macau weather is pretty nice - yes, it may be humid, but it always seems to stay around 80 degrees! Ahhh, it'll be nice to relax on the black sand beaches when December rolls 'round, just kick back, sip the water out of a coconut, and doze beneath that bright, shining star suspended in the sky...

Well, work's definitely been keeping me rather busy, but I still have some time to get out and about! One of the first days I was walking around Macao, I saw a sign on the door of this one house and did a double-take. Keeping in mind it was a dark alley, and the street was rather deserted, I got the impression the area maybe wasn't that great. Of course, the streets of Chambana are never that safe and perhaps that is what caused that premonition. In any case, in clear English letters, the sign read: "Warning: fire alarms installed".

Below are some pictures that I've taken during meals. My new idea is to start a restaurant page on this blog and keep there a careful summary of every restaurant I visit during my stay, what I had to eat, the impression of the staff, and so on and so forth. I might even cover important topics like how the food looked and smelled! In any case, below is an example of the cuisine found in Macau.

This is a melon ice-cream! Even by the standards of the USA it might be a bit expensive, but even at 

MOP 68, I still had to give it a try! I still don't know what it is, but it tasted good! Light flavor and mild in texture.

Just sitting on the plate. This is served at the Venetian in the food court by a Japanese restaurant.

 Now, here is where the blend of East meets West really begins. This is a blend of local Macanese cooking with Chinese (i.e. the rice) and Portuguese (note the french fries and the sauce). Pork chop with french fries and drenched in a brown, slightly tangy sauce. Put it on rice and top it off with a chilled almond tea? There you have it, ladies and gentlemen! A winning combination. The result was quite delicious and very enjoyable.
