From this shop Yi Garden Cafe (怡园茶室）...

Comment: Nothing special with the 2 buns, but coconut milk pudding is so refreshing~ 

Lunch time, Travel guide has directed me to this restaurant:

皇冠小馆～ 

竹升虾子捞面(Shrimp noodle), 花蟹粥(crab porridge)

Comment: According to travel guide, this restaurant is a must try restaurant. For the shrimp noodle, sorry to say that I don't really like shrimp therefore it don't really suit me, however the crab porridge I like it very very much, it not just yummy, but it full of crab meat in the porridge, the porridge taste nice even without soy sauce and pepper.

Its time to buy some souvenir for family and friends,

This shop is very famous, it always full of tourist,

while buying souvenir, saw Portuguese egg tart again,

so no harm to try it ^^

Opps, its time to check out..

Check out doesn't mean have to go airport...

 红豆双皮奶（red bean stewed milk beancurd), 炖蛋 (egg custard), 火腿蛋治 (ham and egg sandwich), 菠萝包(pineapple bun) 

Comment:I like egg custard and pineapple bun very much, but I don't really like red bean stewed milk beancurd since I don't really like milk.

Next, Institute of Civic and Municipal Affairs

*Originally built in 1784, this was first Macau municipal chamber, a function it maintains to the present. The name "Leal Senado" derives from the title "City of Our Name of God Macau, There is None More Loyal" which was bestowed by Portuguese King Dom John IV in 1654. The "Leal Senado" Building is neo-classical in design and has retained all its original master walls and primary layout, including the courtyard garden in the back. Inside the building on the first floor there is a ceremonial meeting room that opens onto an elaborate carved library styled after the library of Mafra Covent in Portugal, and a small chapel.*

Walk along Senado Square and found this which look nice...

金钱饼～(I don't know what it call in english, but it is a type of biscuit)

Comment: Nice to eat as snack~~

Then, St Dominic's Church


*Founded in 1587 by three Spanish Dominican priests who originally came from Acapulco in Mexico, this church is also connected to the Brotherhood of Our Lady of Rosary. It was here that the first Portuguese newspaper was published on Chinese soil, A Abelha da China ("The China Bee"), on 12th September 1822. The bell tower, at the back of the building, has been modified into a small museum of Scared Art, now exhibiting a collection of around 300 artifacts.*

Why stop eating???

 猪扒包(pork chop bun)

Comment:  Nothing special, nothing to comment ^^

Reached the landmark of Macau: Ruins of St Paul's (大三巴牌坊）~

*The Ruins of St Paul's refer to the facade of what was originally the Church of Mater Dei built in 1602-1640, destroyed by fire in 1835, and the ruins of St Paul's College, which stood adjacent to the Church. As a whole, the old church of Mater Dei, St Paul's College and Mount Fortress were all Jesuit constructions and formed what can be perceived as the "Acropolis" of Macau. Close by, the archaeological remains of the old College of St Paul stand witness to what was the first western-style university in the Far East, with an elaborate academic programme. Nowadays, the facade of the Ruins of St Paul's functions symbolically as an altar to the city.*
