The ride began with a lousy breakfast at the ferry terminal. We were able to catch an earlier ferry than planned. Room was ready for check in upon our arrival. We dropped our baggages and moved on to our next stop.
Within walking distance, we reached the noodle place. After a light lunch, we walked hand in hand in and out of lanes, appreciating the patterned stone mosaic streets and the colonial Portuguese style architecture. The little walk up and down the slope was relaxing and pleasant. Then we visited the long waited ice cream store, yet it turned out to be over-rated by the tour guide (i.e. me).
After ice cream, we went casino hopping, MGM, Wynn, City of Dreams and Venetian. The total damage was upto 4 digits figures. At the end, I decided to buy my mate a drink at Bellini instead of having my chips sucked in by the sic-bao table. Meanwhile, our dopamine level reduced while chit chating about anything over drinks.
The night walk between Sands and MGM was refreshing and chilling. At MGM's Lion Bar, we lighted our cigar and sipped whisky. It was THE PLACE to go as it offered excellent live band, energetic ambience and crowd with people from all walks of life.
The next morning, we had a quick yet quality coffee at the poolside before our Michelin 3 star luncheon at Robuchon a Galera. We both (slightly) dressed up for the occassion. The fois gras appetizer, the black cod fish/ veal head, the caremal ice-cream were memorable. The sommelier was impressive (Thanks to Hun's imitation on "Christoph" checking our orders before serving the very same bottles of red and white). Overall, it was an enjoyable experience despite the waitress had forgotten our wine.
That's almost the end of the ride. For a soft landing, we headed home together and cooked a simple pasta (tomato smoked bacon penne). It was delicious and marked an end to the ride.
