Macau, the rest of the day

We do continue the walk of the area and find St. Paul's ruins, find where the monk blew up the Danes, and found a great french restaurant down a little alleyway.

We enjoyed a perfect lunch at La Bonne Heure. Best meal yet, and a good price. We found it listed in the Lonely Planet guide, our bible so far.

We head back to the hotel for our afternoon siesta. Have you ever heard of Fashion TV, quite a phenom. Anther channel is showing Dr. 90210, a show about people getting plastic surgery and it follows them through their struggle with beauty. I have never heard of it, but apparently it does quite well, now in its fourth season. If this is what the outside world sees as America, its a shame!

The lunch was so good and the company so inviting that we decided to go back that evening for dinner. We think that Macau is small, and decide to walk. We have checked the map, went over the details with our maybe-speaking English doorman, who is very helpful and head out. I do get us to the right street, but at some point it all digresses. Perhaps we go too far, perhaps we turn to short, but we are in no mans land! For sure!

It takes us a bit of time (we are stubborn and refuse to backtrack) to find a real street with cars and taxis. When we do, it is only about a two minute ride to the square, seems we were practically there...but how to know? We are such adventurers!

We enjoy another wonderful meal at La Bonne Heure and we spend a good deal of time talking to the Chef who is Japanese. Asia is a blend of fascinating relationships. When you find something warm, welcoming and delicious, there is little need to continue the search, you have already found the prize.

Victor ordered the Escargot and Lamb and I go out on a limb with Carpaccio, which I love and duck with is just wonderful. We are thinking the carpaccio might make a nice addition to the menu, light courses full of flavor.
