My Hong Kong adventures Part 2 - Macau and more food!
I went to Macau overnight during my visit to Hong Kong last month and I thought I would share some pics with you from there as well as the rest of my food pics =) Macau is such a strange place because it's got so much history yet is filled with casinos and is so touristy. It's always lots of fun going there though!
We stayed at the Venetian hotel overnight which was a bit of a letdown. The service was very crappy but at least it's fun exploring the place! I can't go to Venice anytime soon so it's the closest thing to going lol.
The view from our 33nd floor room:
A new casino opened up while we were there called Galaxy casino Macau and ZOMG it was so amazing! The view of the casino at night:
It was seriously over the top (but cool) inside and to top it off they had a huge water feature in the lobby that would play music and reveal a MASSIVE fake diamond every half hour. I WANT A DIAMOND THIS HUGE Xp
We walked about the town centre and visited the Ruins of St Pauls amongst other places to take some pictures:
Food highlights of Macau! I didn't get time to eat a pork chop burger unfortunately but at least I had a Portuguese tart. We had an awesome Thai dinner at the Venetian before we left to go back to HK which I unfortunately threw up on the ferry ride X( Again, all pics are clickable and hover for a little description =)
I'll leave you with some more food highlights from HK! Because I only went for 2 weeks I didn't get to eat everything I wanted and when I did I scoffed it down greedily and totally forgot to take pics haha.
Some main meals:
Honkie food:
Snacks:
Desserts:
I hope you guys enjoyed seeing my HK adventures! Do you like food and lifestyle posts like this? I love food as much as I love nail polish and cosmetics (OK maybe a teeny bit less) so I hope you don't mind me sharing =)
Thanks for looking!

China Glaze haul
I got to purchase some China Glaze polishes I have been lemming for ages today. Yay!!! I LOOOOOOVE CG polishes, they just have so many colours to choose from and they last for days with hardly any chips especially when used with my HG (holy grail) top coat Seche Vite. I find that CG works best for me compared to OPI which is a great brand but chips on like the 2nd day for me. I haven't tried Orly or Essie yet so can't compare to them but I'll get around to it when I have time!
From L - R: Innocence, Ruby pumps, Lubu heels, Emerald sparkle, Up all night, Secret Periwinkle and 5 golden rings
Apologies for the quality of the pics as I took them in a hurry.
Innocence
Innocence - This colour is a sheer pink which is perfect for french manicures. I only applied one coat to my finger but you get the idea.
Ruby pumps
Ruby pumps - The colour that everybody raves about! I'm not sure if I got a dodgy bottle or what, but the colour of this isn't as red red as the swatches of others I've seen. I only applied 2 coats which is maybe why mine came up as more with more of a pinky undertone. Oh well, still a gorgeous glittery red =)
Lubu heels
Lubu heels - a black polish with red glitter through it. This is supposed to be for a "Lubu manicure" which means you apply Ruby pumps on the "sole" or underside of your nail and Lubu heels on the "upper" or top of your nail so it resembles a Christian Louboutin heel. Pretty cool huh?!! It's a pretty thin polish so it applies quite sheer so needs to be built up to be opaque. I only applied 2 coats here so it's still quite sheer but you get the picture.
Emerald sparkle
Emerald sparkle - a really nice glittery green. I'm not brave enough to wear all those lovely minty and bright greens that have been so popular! I applied 2 coats here.
Up all night
Up all night - I've been after a navy blue polish for some time so that I can do a navy french mani. This one is ok, applies nicely and even with one coat here is quite dark. There's no glitter or anything in this polish. I think I'll try Rodeo fanatic or Calypso blue next.
Secrect peri-winkle
Secre(c)t peri-winkle - The name of this gorgeous peri-winkle colour is "Secret" peri-winkle however on the bottle there's a typo - "Secrect". Hehehehehe. It applies really smoothly and is just a gorgeous colour! The boy liked this colour the best.
5 golden rings
5 golden rings - A pretty gold glitter polish. Applies quite nicely, I applied 2 coats here for medium coverage. I'll be using this for tips!
Of course I'm lemming a whole load of other colours such as most of the gorgeous summery colours from CG Up and Away collection but this has to do for now!
I am really really really lemming a Konad kit but I just don't know if I can afford the time and effort associated with it. Of course with practice it won't take long at all but I'm starting my postgraduate studies in early March which will be fulltime WITH fulltime work I can't afford any other distractions! I first encountered konad about 5yrs ago when I was in 1st year uni and my friend brought it in to to uni to try out. I thought it was super nice but not worth the effort. But now after seeing all the pretty designs on so many blogs and knowing that there's no way I can do it freehand I am majorly lemming a kit!
On a foodie note, the boy made Thai sukiyaki for dinner last night which we are BIG fans of.
Our delicious hotpot spread
We'd been mourning the closure of the Thai place in Capitol square that had all you can eat sukiyaki for the last 3-4yrs before we found MD suki on Oxford St the other month. After having it again after so many years we decided to make our own. I had to work yesterday so the boy toiled away making the delicious broth and his very own sukiyaki sauce from scratch. It was so yummy! We had fresh veges, beef and chicken, assorted seafood balls, noodles and quail eggs.
Home made sukiyaki sauce
Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend!
