Macau 3-Day Itinerary Day 1
Walk from The Venetian to Rua do Cunha, buy goat bakers, eat at Ma Jiao Tea Stall in Taipa, Lemoncello, stroll around Rua do Cunha, buy Andrew's Egg Tart, Lemon Tea, order from Ze Xian Ji, but had to wait for two hours, so we visited Carmo Hall, Taipa Houses-Museum, and Taipa Grande Hill Inclined Elevator Viewing Platform. After about two hours, we picked up our order from Ze Xian Ji and bought a pork chop bun from Tai Lei Loi Kei to eat back at the hotel. We walked back to the St. Regis Hotel from the Taipa Houses-Museum Wetland.
【Attractions】
1. Attraction Name + Introduction: Carmo Hall, Taipa Houses-Museum
These are iconic buildings in Macau, attracting many tourists with their green exterior. The complex includes five Portuguese-style houses, Carmo Church, and a library. You can explore the early residences of the Portuguese inside.

The inclined elevator has entrances on both sides of the road connected by a sky bridge. Once you take the elevator up, you reach the Taipa Grande Hill Viewing Platform, where you can see The Venetian, Taipa Houses-Museum Wetland Ecological Area, and Rua do Cunha.
【Food】
1. Restaurant + Must-Eat Dish: Andrew's Egg Tart
Andrew's Egg Tart has always been my number one egg tart. Every time I come to Macau, I must eat it and buy some to take back to Taiwan. You must eat one fresh out of the oven on the spot. The golden crispy outer layer, caramelized top, and sweet filling are incredibly delicious (be careful not to burn yourself). The texture is smooth and delicate, making you want to eat another one!
2. Restaurant + Must-Eat Dish: Milk Custard Flower Cup
The layers of the crispy outer shell are well-made and very flaky. When you take a bite, it crumbles everywhere, and the filling flows out, making it a messy but delicious experience. Besides Andrew's Egg Tart, this is another dessert shop I would visit again in Macau.
3. Restaurant + Must-Eat Dish: Lemoncello
This is another ice cream I must have every time I come to Macau! The lemon flavor is surprisingly delicious, with a perfect balance of tartness and sweetness. The guava flavor is also very good, not too sweet, and the combination of the two is fantastic!
4. Restaurant + Must-Eat Dish: Ze Xian Ji
I ordered the Portuguese Tart Egg Waffle flavor. Initially, I thought it would just taste like regular egg waffles, but after waiting two hours and taking the first bite, I was amazed! No wonder it takes two hours; each bite is crispy on the outside and filled with rich Portuguese tart filling and caramel aroma. It's incredibly delicious!
5. Restaurant + Must-Eat Dish: Ma Jiao Tea Stall
I ordered the silky egg beef rice, French toast, a cup of iced lemon tea, milk tea, and Ma Jiao beef. The silky egg beef rice is delicious, with perfectly cooked eggs and well-seasoned beef. The French toast is average but not too greasy, which is great. The drinks are not too sweet and quite refreshing. Ma Jiao beef is milk tea with milk tea ice cream, very sweet.
【Accommodation Recommendation】
Hotel Name: The St. Regis Macao (Cotai Deluxe Room)
