Macau, the casino capital of the world! Join me on the journey from Hong Kong to Macau!
Right next to Hong Kong is Macau, which is also a special administrative region of China. It's quite easy to get from Hong Kong to Macau. You can either take the ferry or the bus (or a helicopter). Join me as we jump on one of the ferries to take the one hour journey over to Macau, the casino capital of Asia. Actually of the world: The casinos in Macau generate 7x more revenue than the ones in Las Vegas. When I heard that number I was quite impressed. I have been to Las Vegas many many years ago, so I was curious to see if Macau is similar. And yes it is! Join me as we have a look around the famous casino strip, but also trying to find some local food. Let's check out Macau!

I am Ken Abroad, a full-time traveler traveling southeast Asia, east Asia and south Asia. It is my goal here on the channel to visit every country in these Asian regions and bring you along the journey.
You won’t see many tourist places in my videos, I rather like to show the “real” sides of each country in my videos. Where do the local people go to eat? Where do they hang out? How do the locals travel through the country? Stuff like that.

[@engr100viki5]

my best bro ken looking handsome thank you for your huge respect against cpec friendship countries lot of love from your best bro viki 🍻

[@albertwong8200]

Yes the bridge can go to Macau and China

[@faizet2]

Sorry to correct you bro, but I believe gambling was legalised in Portuguese administered Macau🇵🇹 🇲🇴 in the late 19th century (to rival it’s former sister colony British 🇬🇧 HK’s economy), not the 1960s, as you have stated in this video. Also the largest contingent of tourists who visit Macau are as you said in this video or another that they’re mostly Mainland Chinese 🇨🇳. It’s worth mentioning that a large proportion of Macau’s casino tourists are Hong Kongers 🇭🇰 !!

[@fatdoi003]

Ken you can also take 45min shuttle bus from HK to Macau.... crossing the bridge is more spectacular than riding in a ferry and much cheaper

[@jesjes5255]

the road bridge is really cool

[@hippochun]

I am a local HongKonger but your video is very enjoyable - you really try to explore the city and its culture in depth! Language tips for Cantonese - There are two ways saying “thank you”. The one you use often - “Dor Che” - is more for saying thank you when people give you a gift. You can say “Ng Goi” when you want to thank people for their help (e.g. doing something nice, answer your enquiries, or just to everyone who provide you with services in general.) “Ng Goi” can also be used like “Excuse me / sorry” when you ask for someone’s attention. It’s very common for non native speakers to confuse these two terms but do please try using them in HK and Macau! Viel Spass!

[@CassieSiChen]

Time truly flies. Back when I was studying in Macau, the city was divided into three distinctive parts. 🤣 I make it a point to visit Macau every time I return to China, and it's remarkable how much the city has transformed over the years.

[@astridenchina]

I went to the university area there! Nice place to eat, cheap and good hahah just posted a video about Macao btw 🫰🏻❤️

[@giannishen]

I'm curious that there are so many monitors on the ceiling, so will the cards you get be seen? The most unique and famous dessert in Macau is the cubilose/ bird's nest egg tart. Have you ever tried it? Thank you for taking us on a tour of Macau and look forward to seeing you again in a few years! 👍🥰🙏

[@spinkid2000]

They are very advanced cameras. They can zoom in on the cards. Casino security is very strict. They also keep an eye out for dealers paying losing hands, players pulling back chips after seeing their cards and lots of other tricks.

[@wer733]

You should visit many international casino for this answer

[@spinkid2000]

Reminded me of my trip from Hong Kong to Macau. They will gladly take your HK$$, but back in HK they will very politely hand back your Macanese Patacas. Great job pointing out the remnants of its Portuguese history. It is literally just the public signage. They are able to claim ties to other former colonies of Portugal. I TOO saw very few westerners during my stay. Very much mainland tourists fill it up. My first night had Ladyboy dancers on the main bar at my hotel Casino. It was very surreal there. Great Job!

[@henrychung8479]

Macau! How wonderful. Looks like you are already having a wonderful time. Definitely a place that is very much tied to HK. In my parents' generation, Macau was the only place HKers could travel to if they wanted to leave HK without getting on a plane. If not already on your radar: 1) check out old Tai Pa Village ("Tum Chai" 氹仔). It's already "over-touristed", but you can walk around the small streets off-hours and imagine how amazingly cool it was about 20 years ago without the tourists and the tall buildings. 2) Get some pastel de natas! Similar to the HK egg tart, but with Portuguese ancestry. 3) Beef jerky. Macau is famous for their jerked meat. 4) Fusion food? I haven't had much of the fusion food, but I did find bacalhau fried rice super interesting (albeit like your pork chop bun, it was a little bland). Also, although the guy translated it as for stomach aches, the tea that you had, "祛濕茶", is for expelling "wetness", which is one of the external factors in Chinese medicine that can introduce certain illnesses, including stomach aches. Ridding yourself of extra "wetness" helps balance your body.

[@linawu1219]

yes, Tum Chai is my favirate place in Macau.

[@chaw294]

Wow, absolutely speechless....there are no words to describe how beautiful Macau is !!! I thoroughly enjoyed taking that trip with you... experiencing the interesting ferry ride and the "wow" moments admiring those super beautiful and posh buildings. Really top quality content, hats off to you, Ken. Many thanks for sharing Macau with us.

Happy to see you exploring so many new things in Macau for you. Thumbs up Ken. 👍👍👍👍👌👌👌👌

[@lindadorman2869]

So much fun to see you review new places! I haven't been to Macau for nearly 20 years. When I was there, there were not as many casinos but we did play the slots in one. And I remember the ruins of St. Paul's Church. The best part was walking the local shopping street with food stalls. Macau was where I first tasted pastel de nata (egg custard tart).

[@getco.contact2865]

Yes Mem! The Portuguese Egg Tart in Senado Square is out of the world..

[@mariatong2022]

Awesome! Hope you’ll enjoy your trip to Macau!🎉🎉

[@sharonleong7120]

Great content as always. Thanks Ken. 👍👍👍😍😍😍

[@ominkan3129]

WOW Ken, that was totally amazing. I have always heard much about Macau but never got there. Your camera work is fantastic showing so much detail. The streets are super clean and very beautiful architecture. Thanks for letting me come a long with you.

[@KenAbroad]

🙏 thanks for joining

[@italianlifestyle7911]

The food looks delish🤩Have a fun weekend mate!🌇🍷

[@SW_1388]

glad to hear that Hongkong become your favourite city in asia.😊 the milk pudding shop actually also has two shops operating in HongKong.😊

[@hanqingbao2931]

I remember going to Macau just months ago and l was really impressive about all the casino and hotels around there. I was also really impressed about the areas where the locals live and l think it was a very different side and was very much worth exploring. Love your videos!

[@chaw294]

Yay, first to give a thumbs up to this cooool vog 👍👍 "Nei Ho ma" Ken? 😂😅

[@lt5205]

I love your videos! Awesome!

[@lillybloom5330]

Wow this is great! I had no idea they had a casino there. Looking fwrd to visiting!

[@lexya2160]

I just visited Macau for the very first time week before last! My family lives in HK and I'm from the UK and visit HK every other year but like I said, first time I have stepped foot in Macau. Interesting place, didn't get to explore much this time around as only stayed for one night. Passed the tea stand stall you drank at, I took a picture as it looked interesting - almost like a sight from the past. Will be interested to visit again in the future, perhaps via the ferry ride - we took the golden bus this time around on Easter Monday that was some journey! 😅(queues took up most of our journey time)

[@jesjes5255]

excellent vid, Ken

[@vivianng7054]

I just went to Macau in Easter holidays, you can use HK dollars in Macau, similar exchange rate! There are lots of delicious and authentic food in Macau, and I had fun with slot machine in Casino too, its fun! Hope you enjoy it! When we feel a little bit sick and uncomfortable, we Chinese would drink that kind of herbal tea. Hope it can help to relieve the sick feeling or stop to getting worse.

[@kushal809]

Awesome video ❤❤❤

[@starfish253]

Love your travel vlogs

[@dreamer1066]

Yey..! nice! I'd been to Macau years ago and explored The Venetian, and your vid brought back memories. We went to visit the ruins of an old church too, where only the Church's facade was left standing but we went up till the top, there were stairs going up, I think its called St. Paul's cathedral, not sure, tho. Enjoy Ken, and thanks again for sharing with us your adventures.

[@KenAbroad]

Thanks Yumi 🙏

[@lk1872]

Hong Kong also have this Milk pudding restaurant and Herbal tea store, in Macau you should try some famous Poruguese cuisine in Macau style and margaret Poruguese egg tart, beef jerky etc...

[@kunjosephinechan9772]

Btw I’m from Macau, I was born and raised there. A better hotel may be Artyzen/Grand Lapa(But I have no idea what are the prices lol)For the next time you come to Macau, you must try some local food like 小籠包which are soup dumplings . One local place to go:高士德, it’s in my opinion the core of Macau. All the best in other countries 😁

[@jenyShorts]

Yummy food 😋 very much look forward to the next video 👍 ✌️❤️

[@kushal809]

Love your videos ❤❤❤

[@glorialee6644]

There’s two types of curry fish ball, the one you tried is more on a bouncy texture, the other type has a totally different texture and smaller in size, and they are normally cooked with dried tangerine peel, I think you are able to find that easily in Mong Kok

[@debidoo1644]

Wow just super Fabulous. Really more fabulous than the Las Vegas Nevada I really appreciate all your videos because you really go into detail about the city's you're really really good at what you do hey we're learning a lots.❤😊 ❤😊 really appreciate you

[@thelastm4]

sad to see you leave, but i hope you enjoy your stay in Macau!

[@wltsui9011]

Ken, you should try the Portuguese egg tart in Macau too! The Margaret egg tart

[@kushal809]

Awesome video ❤❤❤❤

[@Beautyarethebest]

The second food stall is selling internal organs of cows which is a famous food stall in Macau. If you like dessert, i recommend you should try tofufa （tofu pudding ）n ginger milk pudding, those are also very nice desserts. Hope you to come to Hong Kong again 😊

[@waimingchung2254]

無錯

[@BreakawayBites]

So at last, you have arrived in Macau.... Well, it's a must-stop place as well if you happened to visit Hong Kong .....And yup, Lotsa of hotel, casinos....and you would already expect... Pretty expensive.... Senado Square is probably one of my favourite area there.... Old colonial building, old mosaic tiles as well.... especially in the daytime.... buzzing with life and activities.....Ahhh.. Pork chop buns and Portugese Egg Tarts.... Can't missed those!! Further up along the whole stretch of the road.... is the Ruin of St. Paul.. Yup, usually packed with tourists..... Thanks for showing around and a look of how things are looking nowadays.... since my last trip in 2016... Anyway, take care and enjoy your trip ,mate...Cheers!!

[@alexyan999]

you can go to ZHUHAI，a city nearby Macau, in GUANGDONG, CHINA

[@RealSuperlemon]

Hi, I’m a local resident of Macau 🇲🇴! Thank you for travelling to here❤❤

[@jessc9004]

So glad you enjoyed your Hong Kong. Welcone back to try more next time 😊 When you were drinking the herbal tea, I was like what if Ken tries Chinese medicine, it's way more bitter😂. Since you like street food, it will be interesting to watch if you ever go to Taiwan and try foods at the night markets. Was this filmed many days in advance? Notice you said it was Saturday🤔

[@edgardocabije1951]

Taasa oi hapit na mosangko sa kisame. Good luck on your next journey! Watching from Cebu City

[@chewtony101]

Hi Ken, the restaurant(港澳義順牛奶公司Yee Shun Dairy Company) for the Milk pudding which you like it much also have shops in HK. I went there to have milk pudding too! Have you also tried the Hon Kee cafe in Macau, it is an interesting coffee place to try in Macau. Have a nice trip!

[@duvidl]

Ooh Ken. You made me want to try that milk pudding, it looks so delicious. But I don't think they have anything like that here in Thailand. I found a recipe on the internet so I will try to make it. It looks fairly simple.

[@fatdoi003]

the milk pudding originated from Shunde, Guangdong

[@KenAbroad]

Give it a go🙏

[@yvonnetresidder9171]

Not a part of the world I have thought about, but seeing it in your video makes it look very interesting..gambling leaves me cold, not a place I would be interested in. Very clean and looks like it would be an exciting place.

[@nicolekite5777]

Macau is so nice. I love it. I was there last month Ken for 5days. Greetings from Philippines

[@khenglim]

Ken, Hong Kong is well known to be a food paradise in Asia. Here, you can taste a wide range of delicious and exquisite food that are ethnically Cantonese. You should try their dim sums which is known to be very good. Besides the milk pudding, you should try their Portuguese egg tart which is Macau's signature pastry dish. Keep exploring Hongkong food scene. You will be surprised!

[@perlaaguinaldo]

Wow really like las vegas so beautiful place wish to go there someday.😊👍

I’m from Hong Kong and I’m going to macau today for vacation my dad is going to drive his car into macau :) hope to see you

I have been there one time. Very nice hotels with casinos and shopping centre inside hotel.

[@prettywoman8888]

The street food hawker is selling 牛什, assorted beef organs, stewed beef tripes, you should try it next time, it’s yummy!

[@stormtrooper2170]

Ken. Macau's nightlife is an awesome sight..👈👍🙂

[@sonlai2527]

Hello Ken, people in Macau prefer using HKD and the exchange rate of HKD to Macau dollar should be 100 to 102 - 103, so you don't really need to exchange to Macau dollar except get some for memorial

[@Zergcerebrates]

You should check out the lobby of the Morpheus Hotel. It’s very impressive.

[@iseeflowers]

I like the pork chop bun. It is good to drink some herbal tea when eat a lot of fried food. But it is not for the weak stomach because of the taste.

[@wildwildwest1662]

One day I will make it there. Lovely view.🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@fatdoi003]

your fellow european lee barrett done a video 2 weeks ago from shunde china eating many double skin milk dessert.. he particularly liked the one with a shot of coffee

I had stayed various five-star hotels in Macau during the time of epidemic, the lowest price isn't more than 30USD per night. now most of them need 300 to 600 USD on normal day.Maybe this one of good thing during that bad time.

[@Dorothywlt]

You can use HKD everywhere in Macau and no need to convert MOP.

[@kayflip2233]

You should get Portuguese egg tarts there next time. So good.

[@WENG0407]

Ya know, after living in Thailand and somewhat in M'sia, these HK and Macau prices are ridiculous. Macau Dollar 94 for 2 milk pudding and one pork bun, that's extortion... but imagine the cost of living there... You shld spend more time in M'sia and Thailand. Safe and relatively cheap. And those aren't really Tea perse', they're herbal tea, made of herbs and supposedly relieve heatiness.

[@user-sm3to6pp9y]

If you miss the milk pudding. You can also found it in Hong Kong. Please also try it next time when travelling Hong Kong again and tell us if you like it. 😊
