5 Footway Inn, Project Ponte 16 Macau

I had a pleasant 4 days 3 nights stay at 5 Footway Inn which located at Project Ponte 16, Macau. The location of 5 Footway Inn was satisfactory as Sofitel Hotel was just across the street (where I usually go across the road to use the Sofitel free shuttle bus to Border Gate), Senado Square is just around 10 minutes walk, Circle K convenience store is also opposite the hotel and there is a money changer just 2 to 3 shops nearby. The staffs were very friendly and helpful when I was asking for direction. The only down side is there is no lift at the hotel so it is really not convenience for elderly and those with huge luggages. I booked the room in 2 Booking IDs through Agoda. I requested them to arrange for me to stay at the same room so that I did not need to pack and unpack to move to other room. Luckily they managed to arrange for me as that period was not a peak season and rooms were not fully booked. I also requested to stay at lower floor during my booking with Agoda and fortunately I was placed at second floor =)

Lobby of 5 Footway Inn 


Apple Computers & Sofas for guests

Comfy and clean single bed of twin sharing

Another bed of my twin sharing room at second floor

Clean bathroom with bathtub. Hairdryer, shower gel, hair shampoo, razor, shower cap, toothbrush with toothpaste are provided

Guests can make various drinks, i.e instant coffee, tea and fill in hot/cold drinking water in the dining area. There are also fridge, microwave, cutlery and crockery. Quite a cozy place for a long stay.

Washing Machine with detergent & dryer are available at the rooftop for guests use without any extra charges

There's a electronic weighing scale at the lobby too. The room was around RM300++ per night during my weekdays stay. Room rates are generally higher during weekend. It may not a budget accommodation due to our weaken RM currency but it is definitely a decent choice of stay  in Macau throughout my KL-Hong Kong-Macau-KL trip.

McDonalds in Hong Kong & Macao

I'm loving it - McDonalds in Hong Kong & Macao. McD were the meals that I had the most throughout the trip! There are McD all over the places in Hong Kong and plenty in Macao too. Whenever I feel to stop for a toilet break, McD is the best choice because it is literally everywhere. Whenever I was too hungry and had not found the place I intended for the meal, McD is the most convenience place to drop by to satisfy my hunger before the next meal comes in.



Unlike in Malaysia, McD in HK & Macao offers some unique options and I really love their drinks choices. I can choose to have milk tea, hot chocolate or lemon tea without extra charges. 


Breakfast

EVB Egg Fritter Muffin with Ham Set HKD25 (comes with Hash Brown & Hot Coffee)
their hash brown is absolutely splendid. Their creamer is in liquid form instead of powder one.

Hidden gem...bits of corn in the egg~~

Happy Meal

Happy Meal Fillet O Fish Set HKD26  (comes with corn, toy & hot chocolate) 
I think their tartar sauce is more sourish that the one we have in in Malaysia.

All day meals =)

Some elite McD store do provide Kiosk for you to customize the meals

Brioche ? Garden Fresh ? Angus Beef ?


Garden Fresh Combo Brioche with Angus Beef Combo Meal HKD41.50
(comes with fries & hot chocolate)
the brioche bun looks so smooth and shiny =)
Wiki: Brioche is a French pastry and similar to a highly enriched bread. The high egg and butter content give it a rich and tender crumb.


Angus Beef Burger with Garden Fresh Salad & Cheese

Went to Kowloon Park at Tsim Tsa Tsui for a stroll and there's a McD dessert kiosk


Purple Sweet Potato Sundae Corn HKD6
despite the cold weather, I can't resist to have this. The purplish sweet potato taste was adequately infused. It was so good. Why can't they launched this flavor in Malaysia?

McD dining experience in Macao:

Shogun Burger


Shogun EVM Combo MOP32 (comes with fries and a drink - Coke)


Sweet Potato & Vanilla Sundae Corn with Oreo Waffle Cone MOP 10
This round in Macao, I tried the sweet potato mix with vanilla sundae, complement with Oreo cone. It's MOP/HKD 4 more than the usual sundae cone. There's a mini oreo cookies on it.

Last McD meal we had throughout the trip was in airport. We were pretty early when we arrived at the airport. Surprisingly that we found out the Big Mac Combo Meal was only MOP42. Kinda worth as compared as other meal. I was short of the MOP thus I went to the Money Changer in the Macao Airport to exchange from RM to MOP just for the Big Mac Combo Meal. It was a crazy idea as it wasn't worth it at all to exchange RM25 with the rate of 1.59 to MOP 39.75.
