Every which way you angle your camera, the possibility of capturing a decent photo sans strangers in the background is indubitably low. This was our first-hand experience at Macao ’s famous Ruins Of Saint Paul’s, despite us stopping by between 4pm and 5pm – on a weekday, to boot – when the crowd had supposedly thinned out.
The 442 years’ worth of interaction and integration between the Portuguese and locals transformed Macao into the melting pot that it is today. The amalgamation of both sides’ distinct culture and heritage birthed “the Macanese” . We later ventured down to the nearby Love Lane. Walking past its pastel-coloured buildings, we turned left onto Rua de Sao Paulo, passing several tchotchke shops with salesladies beckoning us to enter. We continued to the less explored Rua dos Ervanarios, where small shops selling everything from handicraft to Coca-Cola memorabilia lined the paved street that was brightly lit with neon lights.
Ana Manhão, the restaurant’s friendly owner who speaks fluent Cantonese, Portuguese and English, served us a hearty Macanese cuisine dinner – a tantalising blend of Portuguese and Chinese gastronomy that is actually recognised by Unesco as the world’s “first fusion food”. To further immerse ourselves in the local scene, we also visited Sam Chan Dang or Rotunda de Carlos da Maia.
