so after yee and i spent the morning in the venetian and had our lunch there, we set off to taipa village...it is just about 10 mins from the venetian to the back of the village if you know the way. we took a cab there but we walked back to venetian to catch our shuttle bus to the airport after that.
so this is basically what you will see in taipa. just a stretch of street from the old part of the village to the new. and there is a mcdonalds here too. the old part of the village is where the charm is. just walk down the stretch between the two blocks and you will find shops selling food on both sides.
one of the old shops here at the old part of the village where most tourists gather. this shop is quite popular on a hot day and yee had tau fu fa while i had bird nest jelly. just enter the street between the two blocks and you will find lots of food stuff to buy here. 
the famous pork chop bun in taipa. scrumptious. we got this for free actually. i told yee to ask a group of ladies sitting not far from us where they got the bun from. yee got back to me and we were going to start towards that direction when one of the ladies came to us and offered us the extra one that they had bought. they couldn't finish all so they gave us theirs. so kind of them. i think from their mandarin accent, she might be a singaporean. the above left is the stall where you can buy the pork chop bun. the pork chop is well-marinated before being fried. yee thought this bun would be in the form of a pau. we bought one pork chop bun from one of the cafes in taipa so we could compare, and of course this well-known one beat the other. the common one was not well-marinated and a bit plain.
this is also something we bought to try. serradula, the texture is ice-cream like and i chose the original flavour. however, it is very milky so yee has to finish it up.
a portuguese tart that yee bought. not nice....the only regret this trip is not having the famous portuguese tart here!!! i saw ppl bringing boxes of the tart up to the plane on the way home to kl. waaa......i can still remember the yellow box.
and finally, tata macau. and the first meal i had when we reached lctt was mcdonalds. haha...i have turned into a food junkie. the whole trip revolved around a lot of food...and i am happy with it.
