(Hello, have you seen my outfit for this day? I looked like such a fan ) Disneyland is Disneyland. Some of my best childhood memories were formed here. If you haven’t been to one, read on as I try my best to take you with me to the happiest place on Earth. If you’ve been to one, then come and relive your experience with me.

Disneyland will always be Disneyland. I will always be a fan of this enchanting amusement park and since this is my first time to go there, I totally enjoyed it to the very core. Truly, some of the best childhood memories were build here and what more can we expect?:)

This is our stop. Welcome to Sunny Bay, the Disneyland station.

No time to waste! Let the fun and games begin!

Once you get inside the park, you will be greeted with this beautiful fountain where you can see Mickey Mouse surfing on top of the water
plus, the thing is, once you get inside, it gets more magical.

You will reminisce more about your childhood  because you will hear
instrumental songs of Disney films making you hum along.



I apologize for this photo. You can’t blame me though. I told you I was fully recharged. This is what Disneyland does to me. This is me, shamelessly . I look more excited than those kids . How embarrassing! But can I just say, at least my i was able to expres myslef .

By 4pm , our Disney guide brought us to see Disney Parade Parade. What makes this parade special is that the characters and dancers are performing like ur really in the magicalworld of disney

After the parade, we went straight to the start the disney tour
There are 7 zones that comprises Disneyland which are the following:
Toy Story Land , Fantasyland, Tomorrowland, Adventureland, Grizzy Gulch, Main Street USA,  and Mystic Point.

First stop, Toystory land
The notable rides here are Toy Soldier Parachute Drop and RC Racer.

This is the Parachute Drop. Basically, it goes up really high then drops all of a sudden.

This is oneof my favorite toy story character
and they made it as a cute roller coaster for kids. really amazing .

After  Toy Story Land, we headed to the newly opened, world-exclusive, Adventureland . to Adventurel and where we rode the Jungle River Cruise.

Ive got achance to have a picture with one of the pirates ! Yey!

   





After visiting the 2 latest additions to Hong Kong
Disneyland, we decided to give our hearts and vocal cords a rest. Enough of the screaming! We went straight  to Mickey and Minnie's pagoda

 I am truly excited to meet my all time favorite cartoon characters like Minnie and Mickey Mouse! Thankfully we did get the chance to take picture with them!

                                                                          FantasyLand

                                                                Main Street Usa

Disney Castle with a Disney Princess

Mystic Point 

Its our Family Picture! lols

                                                           

it was such an amazing experience for me that I will not forget the day when I finally got there. Everything was like a blur or like a dream :) I also got the chance to watch the fireworks display in the end but I didn't got the chance to take a photo of it (too bad) because I was so amazed with what I'm watching at that time. I really hope I can go there again anytime soon with my family this time, I'm sure they will enjoy it as much as I do.

Reminders

Disneyland is for people who loves to walk and enjoy rides, so the best way to enjoy
everything is to wear comfortable clothes and shoes.

Of course you can ride the railroad from one point to another but you will enjoy it more when you walk around with your family or friends. Plus, you'll get the chance to take more pictures.

So, for me I totally know the reason why many kids even young at heart
have been captured with this monumental amusement park.
The experience is just priceless and I don't know how Disneyland does it
but hey, they do it really well. :)

Taste of Macau

Although Macau is considered as one of the most expensive travel destinations, you can still survive there with a tight budget. What is more, you can eat big on the cheap without missing any important traditional local dishes which are rich in flavor and extremely delicious. Macanese food can be as cheap or as expensive as you want it to be. The island is filled with posh restaurants and expensive casinos, but you can easily dig into cheap food mostly found at street food vendors and small local restaurants.

Senado Square

Macau is often referred to as the Vegas of the East, and while it is decked out in casinos, there’s also so much more!

Your Right, the food! Street food runs rampant in Asia, and in Macau is no exception. While a lot of the food is the same as in Hong Kong and China, you can also find exotic East-meets-West flavors thanks to Macau’s Portuguese roots. And you want to know the best part about these delicious blends? Most of them come in the form of desserts!

This is what you need to know!  You can eat delicious food without spending a lot! 

So if you find yourself in Macau, Here are 10 Must-Try Street Eats.

1) Portuguese Egg Tart

The most famous street food in Macau would have to be pastel de nata, or Portuguese egg tarts. Credited to bringing Portuguese-styled egg tarts to Asia in the 1980s, Lord Stow’s Bakery is said to make the best around. Egg tarts can be found all across Asia, but the Portuguese version is definitely king. With its top caramelized like creme brûlée, this was one famous Macau treat we had to try.

2) Pork Chop Bun

The most simple of Macau street food would have to be the pork chop buns, or “piggy buns”. The name of this snack says it all because it’s simply a pork chop on a plain bun; no lettuce, sauce or other surprises– but trust me, they aren’t needed. The buns are toasted until crispy on the outside but remain soft on the inside, and the freshly fried pork chop is juicy and tender. The best part? These buns are all fresh and made to order!





3) Pork and Beef Jerky

Known as bakkwa, this Chinese dried meat product is similar to what westerners would call jerky. Most commonly found in beef and pork, you can also find more exotic meats such as boar and ostrich. Although this snack has a naturally savory-sweet flavor, you can find a variety of added spices or marinades. You’ll find these shops all over Macau, with the employees waiting outside, eager to cut you a sample with their giant scissors!

4) Almond Cookies

These cookies are the most popular souvenir from Macau for a reason. They are made by hand with the mixture being pressed firmly into wooden molds, roasted over a charcoal oven and then slapped on a table for the individual cookies to be released. The texture is very fine and will begin to crumble at the mere touch, and the taste is like shortbread with almonds. I think I’m particularly fond of these cookies because they remind me of cookies my mother always used to make for Christmas!

5) Macanese Seafood Sticks  

These Small pieces of seafood including crab , fish ,octopus and may more are served on a stick together with a great variety of veggies – broccoli, carrot, lettuce (great food choice for vegetarians). It’s a boiled food so it’s light and healthy. If you find it tasteless, you can have them with some sauces such as garlic, tomato or mushroom.only 8 min walk to the Senado square and the ruins. Make sure to eat the crab , really tasty, though a bit pricy.

6) Shrimp Dimsum  Bowl

If you’re in Senado Square, the city’s famous historical centre, try a local favourite of hand-made firm and springy noodles sprinkled with salty shrimp roe  and  special shrimp dumplings .made using authentic chinese sauces and cooked with special macanese oil. these handmade noodles is a favorite local eat and  the soup is really amazing

7) Double Skin Steamed Milk Pudding

Made using only whole milk, egg and sugar, this sweet dessert can be enjoyed hot or cold. I ordered mine hot and minutes later a bowl of wobbly coagulated milk was placed in front of me. I was a little skeptical, but I took my spoon and skimmed the top layer. I was worried it would have an egg-like taste, similar to that of egg tarts made with only egg whites, but to my pleasant surprise I didn’t taste egg at all. It tasted purely like warm, sugary milk. Yum!  

8) Macau Herb Tea

Herbal tea is healthy drink made exclusively of Macanese medicine herbs and does not contain any tea leaves .  The most popular version of herbal tea is the ‘Wanglaoji’ (王老吉), which changed its name to Jiaduobao (家多宝) and can be found in streets in Macau

9) Serradura

My other favorite Macanese snack is serradura, meaning ‘sawdust’ in Portuguese. But don’t let the name throw you off. As a pudding hater myself and a probable hater of sawdust, although these words are in its name, it’s merely just finely crushed biscuits layered with tons of sweetened whipped cream. The airy texture of the cream mixes perfectly with the ‘sawdusty’ texture of the biscuits. Pure heaven!

10) Bubble Tea
