Wickedly Good Weekend Chee Cheong Chok @ China Street

Glutinuous Rice Dumplings (Bak Zhang) @ Tavoy Road, Penang

One of my favourite snacks would definitely be ‘bak zhang’ or glutinuous rice dumplings stuffed with pork wrapped with lotus leaves. Traditionally eaten during the Chinese festival “Duan Wu Jie“, this delicious savoury dumpling is also being sold throughout the year. My usual haunt for this snack would be at this stall off Burmah Road, [...]

Lunch@ Macau Restaurant near Grand Lisboa Casino

Buffet Breakfast @ Metropole Hotel, Macau

We very nearly missed our first buffet breakfast at the Metropole Hotel. Because we mistakenly thought that we had to pay MOP40 for the breakfast.

So the plan was to find a quick bite to eat near the hotel before starting on our tour of the city. Alas, when we reached the lobby, rain greeted us. [...]
