Happy Foodies

<figure class="wp-block-image alignnone"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/ironwulf/4614796455/"><img alt="Octopus Noodles" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4028/4614796455_b356bfdc31_o.jpg"></a><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Octopus Noodles</figcaption></figure> <p>The noodles came one after the other. It seems overwhelming but after at least a two hour- flight, we were famished and ready to eat just about anything.  It’s my first time in Macau and what better way to get started but to sample some good ole local food. “We’re heading to the <strong>Little Turtle</strong>,” said Joao, our Portuguese with Chinese  lineage guide.  The name was intriguing enough to make everyone want to check it out.</p>

It has simple interiors with earth colors and a comfortable dining area. The <strong>Ayam Penyet (Surabya style Fried Chicken)</strong> was tasty at every level from skin to meat, especially with a dip in the chili spice.</p>

The food offering is so diverse I can eat different cuisines from different parts of the world depending on what my appetite dictates that day. During my week-long stay, I tried the different restaurants my friend recommended which were all good at the particular type of cuisine they serve yet inexpensive.</p>
