Macau's Hidden French Dessert Treasure at Ruins of St. Paul's

A new French dessert shop has opened near the Ruins of St. Paul's! The location is unbeatable—right behind the Ruins of St. Paul's and next to Uniqlo. From the rooftop, you can enjoy a panoramic view of the iconic landmark without having to squeeze through the crowds for a photo! Must-try Christmas specials and classic desserts: 🎂 Winter Snowflake Hong Kong Milk Cake: Stunning presentation! The white chocolate shell is sculpted into a snowflake, and inside is a rich Hong Kong milk mousse. The sweetness is perfectly balanced, pairing wonderfully with black tea to cleanse the palate. 🍫 Chocolate Madeleine: Intensely rich! The slightly crispy exterior encases a moist center filled with molten chocolate sauce. Each bite bursts with aroma. 🍵 Black Tea: A surprising delight! More robust than Starbucks' roasted tea, it offers a blend of tea fragrance and roasted notes with a lingering aftertaste. Each cup comes with a handwritten description card—a dream for detail-oriented enthusiasts! Ambiance and hidden gems: • Christmas special: Snap a photo during the holiday season to receive a limited-edition mini cake (hurry!) • The interior features a vintage French style with white walls and crystal chandeliers—every corner is Instagram-worthy. • Rooftop seating is highly sought after! Arrive before 2:00 PM to enjoy desserts while taking in the view of the Ruins of St. Paul's—super chill! 📍 Location: Backstreet of Ruins of St. Paul's (next to Uniqlo) 💡 Average cost: 110 MOP per person, including dessert and drinks. The price matches the quality! The only downside is the lack of coffee—hopefully, they'll serve French press coffee next time. Summary: Perfect for "dessert lovers and photo enthusiasts"! From Christmas-themed desserts to rooftop views, every detail is filled with a sense of occasion. Be sure to bring a 256GB stomach and camera, as enjoying French desserts while admiring the Ruins of St. Paul's is an experience not to be missed 📸

Exploring Macau with a Dash of Hong Kong Magic 🏰✨ Get ready for a city break that mixes glitzy casinos, old-school charm, and jaw-dropping sunsets! If you’re nearby, Hong Kong is a must-add for your itinerary—seriously, don’t miss the lit-up Disneyland Castle at night for peak photo vibes. Top Spots to Visit in Macau: 1. Ruins of St Paul’s (Largo da Companhia de Jesus, 8 AM–6 PM): Iconic façade and outdoor cultural vibes, perfect for sunrise pics. 2. Senado Square (Central Macau, 24/7): Cobblestones + pastel architecture = Instagram gold. Go early for quieter scenes! 3. Macau Tower (Estrada do Istmo, 10 AM–9 PM): Modern architecture with 360° views—sunset here is next level. 4. A-Ma Temple (Barra Pagoda, 7 AM–6 PM): Experience authentic culture under ancient prayer trees. 5. Cotai Strip (Av. da Nave Desportiva, open daily): Cloudy or sunny, this place dazzles with lights and western-style casino buildings. 6. Taipa Village: Outdoor natural scenery meets trendy cafés. Come hungry! Personal Tips: + If you’re hopping to Hong Kong, budget a night for Disneyland—the castle glows like a movie scene after dark. + Pack for changeable weather; Macau goes from sunny to rainy fast. + Walking is best for old Macau’s nooks. For Cotai and casinos, use the free hotel shuttles. Food to Try: Scan for street egg tarts near Senado Square or dive into African Chicken at Restaurante Litoral in Taipa Village. Transport Hack: TurboJET ferries zip you from Hong Kong to Macau in under an hour—grab tickets on trip.com for easy planning. Don’t forget: Macau runs on the Pataca, but most places accept HKD. Bring a light jacket for breezy nights! #MacauAdventures #HongKongMustVisit #SunsetVibes #TripDotCom #EggTartHunters
