My first time In Macau! Let's have a look behind the glamour of the casinos.
I arrived in Macau two days ago and in my first video from this city we had a look at the famous places, the casinos and the places that are full with tourists. But I am also curious the see the other side of Macau. The side where the locals live, behind the glamour of all the casinos and neon lights. Join me as we explore the very northern end of Macao, as well as the very southern end.

I am Ken Abroad, a full-time traveler traveling southeast Asia, east Asia and south Asia. It is my goal here on the channel to visit every country in these Asian regions and bring you along the journey.
You won’t see many tourist places in my videos, I rather like to show the “real” sides of each country in my videos. Where do the local people go to eat? Where do they hang out? How do the locals travel through the country? Stuff like that.

I saw the mainland China Zhuhai Railway Station 珠海站. Why don't you climb the fence live to mainland China. I believe your any social media channel will be booming with viewership and tonnes of subscription overnight. 😂😂😂😂
A massive thanks for this interesting, informative and knowledgeable Hong Kong and Macau series. Love it so much. I truly appreciate your hard work, hats off to you, Ken. Keep up with your good work !!!
my best bro looking handsome thank you for your huge respect against cpec friendship countries lot of love from your best bro viki 🍻
The lady in the snack shop is soooo cute, she tried to explain you what the foods are but in Cantonese ( just higher her tone and pretend speaking in English lol) . Thanks for your videos . Stay healthy and good luck
Beat wishes from HKer
Yeah, Ken, l know you are a border enthusiast, always keen to explore border of countries you have visited. Finally, you managed to come so close to the border between Macau and mainland China. Great job and l'm very sure China is on your bucket list. Thanks a bunch for sharing this border adventure.
The area you walked through around 15:45 is actually very close to the border and most of the people you saw walking around there buying the alcohol and stuff are mainland chinese people coming to Macau especially to buy it. China has a huge luxury tax on high price products, as such certain items are cheaper in Macau or easier to find compared to mainland so you have many daytrippers coming to stock up on items. Also many mainland workers in Macau live in Zhuhai (the Chinese city which shares a border with Macau) since the cost of living there is much lower and commute back and forth between China and Macau every day, what you saw at 18:50 .
I‘ve subscribed your channel since you were in Malaysia for the first time. I always like your style and your personality. Nice to hear that you will visit Mainland China. There're a lot to see in Mainland China including a lot of borders with North Korea, Russia, Nepal, Myanmar, Vietnam and India etc^^. Welcome to Mainland China and Greetings from Shanghai.
Thanks a lot🙏
how you access youtube
I hope you won't go to the other side of the border, it should be very dangerous. If you go, please be very careful!
I couldn't see which tea that lady pointed to at the end, or I could translate it for you! Very sorry for that!
Curry fish ball is actually a well-known snack in Hong Kong. It is made of fish for sure. I believe you should have seen it on the streets of Hong Kong!
That so-called lobster salad wrapped in fish balls is usually made of fish eggs with some seasonings. If there is lobster inside, it should not be so cheap!
I am so happy to see that you finally ate Portuguese egg tarts, thank you very much for sharing! 👍😄🙏
The news media always present the other side as a dangerous place. Not sure what to believe.
are you kidding? Zhuhai is dangerous? Come on, It’s 2024 now😂
@victoriadong1926 Don't talk nonsense!
@@giannishen 😄 you are so funny.
@@victoriadong1926 You too!
Wow, there is a vast difference here in Northern and Southern tip of Macau....no more "Las Vegas of Asia" 😂 Love this authentic side of Macau. That Hac Sa/Black Sand beach is known for its striking black sand. I read somewhere that it gets it unique colour from minerals in the seabed. Amazing that you are trying all the street food, Portuguese bbq ( pork chop bun) and Portuguese egg tarts. Well, another amazing video with amazing content. Love this episode and a massive thanks for sharing this part of Macau with us. Cheers, Ken.
Your adventure of the less travelled places by tourists do make your videos, very interesting. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I am hooked on your videos 😂😂Thanks Ken ❤
Happy to hear that 🙏
Thanks for sharing with ppl like me who haven’t had the chance to go Macau, let’s not say getting into the deeper side of Macau, that’s really interesting to watch👍🏼
Hi Ken, happy to see that you are having a wonderful time in Macau. Macau is the city where I grew up, I haven't been back for almost 7 years after I moved overseas. I hardly recognised the places anymore. I'm planning to go back and visit this summer, I'll surely walk around, find back those memories! By the way, you are so brave to try those street food :P
Even I am Macau local, I don’t like to go Northern district as there is almost dirty, disorganised, mess
I love this video. It was great. Keep up the good work, Ken. 👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️
First! Welcome to Macau. Have a nice trip❤❤❤
Thank you 🙏
That was a nice adventure Ken. So many interesting view of Macau. People there all seem to walk and no bicycles. Very friendly people just like in Mainland China.
Ken, you are SUPER INTELLIGENT.....not too many YTubers can have the sort of intelligence that you possess. Well done.
The egg tarts look so yummy! I tasted it once in Macao long time ago, it was sooooo good!
Super sedap💪
And if other viewers want to see more of Macau; I'm filming here all the time. :)
I am so enjoying your excursions! Macau really is lovely once you get away from the casinos. Some quick notes: 1) the tea you had was "Five Flower Tea." Generally healthy; balances "hot" and "cold" in Chinese medicine. 2) LOL so much confusion at the skewer shop. The thing he pointed to on the sign is the second blobby thing you ate in the video. You were close when you said it looked like dough! It's meen gan (she tried to say it in Mandarin thinking that you would understand that better). It's called seitan in English and it's made from wheat gluten. A nod to vegetarianism although I'm sure it's drenched in meat sauce. Not sure what the ball with the filling is. The guy didn't say what it was other than "this one is really good!" To my eye, it looks like intestines with a stuffing (cheese?) that has been battered and fried. 3) Watching your video is making me hungry :)
I thoroughly enjoyed this episode as I only visited Macau on a day trip and did not have much time as I spent a while around the Ruins of St. Paul's and the surrounding area. It was fascinating to watch you interacting with the street vendors, those custard tarts (Pasteis de Nata) are now sold in Lidl, so I am sure you can get them in Germany when you visit home!
In Angola the egg tarts are great too. Another old Portuguese colony. Also a lot of old Portuguese buildings.
I’m glad in Macau they start speaking Cantonese first if you don’t understand they speak in Mandarin ! Lots has changed since my parents are from Macau ! Thanks Khun Ken ❤ 🙏
I didn't know Macau had a non-casino area! super interesting to visit through you. Congrats on 200k!!!!
Thanks for showing the other parts of Macau. 👍🏻. Looking forward to your next destination
Macau is my hometown, I have not been back there for almost 6 years. I miss Macau.
You should go back to take a look coz so much had changed in the past 6 years.
A great day visiting other parts of Macau. The egg tart looks and sounds crispy and delicious!
Hi, Ken. I am impressed that wherever you go, you try learn a few local words. You can say "nei hou"(你好)，"dor chay"(多谢) in Macau, and "terimah kasih", "apa khabar" in Malaysia. Keep it up! Jia you (加油⛽️)！Greetings from Singapore.
Very refreshing video. Most travel videos only showcase the tourist spots. I like yours way more! Thank you.
Ken
I like your travelling video, so free style close to the real living
This channel should be called “Ken’s Asian Food Tour” - the food content is prevalent.
Nice!! Episode 2 for my home 🇲🇴‼️
Pousada de Coloane Beach Hotel is a very beautiful hotel which is just right up at the hill facing the black sand beach.
Ken keep up the good work and congratulations and I am your loyal fan .from Malaysia .
Greetings to Malaysia 🙏
Love your video as always! Can't wait for the day when you travel to Mainland China!
This part of Macau looks really cool too. Better than the Casino area for me 🙂
Well, you are the only foreigner over the Northern & Southern side... Didn't notice any foreigners there.... Totally off the beaten path...Well, we can all agree on that , A cold beer and BBQ Pork Bun in front of a amazing view like this beach.... Absolute Awesome!! Wow!! Portuguese Eggs Tarts... A must try!!...Nice to show some parts of the local scene of Macau which I didn't really get the chance to do that... ( It was only a one day trip )... Still, it was a adventure and amazing trip. Take care and stay safe out there, Ken...... Looking forward to your next country... Any hints?? Cheers mate!!
Love your videos ❤❤❤
Thank you for this tour of Macau.
We're keeping excellent memories from Shanghai on an exchange working week there 10 years ago.
Macau's casino hotels are quite pricey so a lot of mainland tourists cross the border back and forth and stay in Zhuhai for the night, where prices are only a fraction. Behind where you got the ice-cream is the main northern border crossing. There are a few more border crossings near the casinos on Cotai but those go to a more remote part of Zhuhai.
Hi Ken, the district where you bought the famous egg tars, actually that area was a famous sight seeing place for all the tourist to visit few decades ago, before all the big Casino was built. 😊
Going to Macau next week. Excited about it !
Ken, you should come to Vancouver, Canada. Our Cantonese food is considered even better than Hong Kong. You might be wondering why, but it is because there is a huge Chinese population in the Greater Vancouver. Richmond alone right next to Vancouver is like a mini HK. And I agree that pork chop bun is dry even when I’ve tried at the HK cafes here in Canada.
Love your videos ❤❤❤❤
Lovely. Many thanks for the vlog and sharing.
The herbal tea is mainly sugar crane. The one running out is plum soup. For the pork chop bun, you should choose the crispy bread, which is the authentic one
Looking forward to your next stop
The nature is cool, lots of trees beside the road make pedestrians feel comfortable, greetings from new friends ❤
I love that you went to the residential, nontouristy areas of Macau. and yes that was fish ball.
You are so cheerful! Love to watch your journey ✌️❤️🙏😘
You met a guy in 32:48 is You tubers before, he was a nurse's student and studying in Japan, that's why this guy looks familiar to me🤣.I have no idea the channel is still running? After you mentioned a Japanese woman with a boy is his wife. I do remember this guy finally!! This is amazing! He is married and have a little boy with his Japanese wife. 😄
What is the channel name?
@@RealSuperlemon Kumachannel
@@ninwacheung thx
Great work ❤❤❤
Really enjoy watching your videos. Very interesting!😍👍
Just enjoy your travel in macau ken have a safe trip.and take care always👍✌🙏😍🇵🇭
Welcome to Macau 🇲🇴
Thank you 😊
Hope you enjoy your stay Ken
Traveled many times to HK and Macau, remember not all people speak Cantonese in Macau so best to say Thank you in mandarin, definitely travel China when it’s open as it’s an amazing place and so many things to visit
Yes, you are right! Now in Macau, the most popular languages are Mandarin, Cantonese, Hokkien, and English.
For the local citizen point of view, we say Cantonese instead of Mandarin in Macau. You can hear mandarin because there are many labors from Mainland working in Macau and lots of Mainland tourists.
Welcome to Macau🇲🇴🇨🇳
Hello ken,your channel is very nice❤add oil👍🏻
That food you ate on 10:42 is called 麵根(Fried Wheat Gluten Puff), main ingredient is Wheat Gluten.
Thanks for awesome video in macao❤❤❤😊Ken.
(10:35) the food is curry fish ball, and fried gluten.
My friend who is from Macau took me away from the strip and it was nice to see the real Macau
Good one Kenny boy!!!! 🍻
It always cracks me up me up that you speak English to people, and they just answer back in Chinese as if you each understand each other.🤣
it is really funny that when you are at the snack shop, the women is talking to you with mandarin!!!!!!!!!!! she is keep saying different price of their food. as a person who can understand mandarin, cantonese, and english, it is really interesting for me. also, when you tasting the Chinese traditional tea, it was also funny. it taste bitter sometime, therefore people will like to drink all immediately. in the last ep, you are tasting id like Wine, the scene is really funny. i started to watch your video since you went Hong Kong. you are really exploring different cities deeply. as a local from Hong Kong, i feel touching. you unlocked the specialist of Hong Kong. going to places where only locals knows. i really enjoy your video!!!!!!!!!!!! KEEP EXPLORING!!!!!!!
If you are going to Mainland china, payment will be a problem for foreign tourist. Many shops are relutant to recieve cash(yes, even their own currency), or they can recieve but no change. Because people are all using mobile payment which doesnt accept tourist to use. And international credit card (visa master) are useless there.
So it is better to always keep small amount of cash notes (like 10~20 CNY).
That is very interesting. So how do tourists travel and buy food or tours there?
@@AuntyJack123 still could only pay in cash, just have opportunity to encounter problem
it is illegal to reject the cash
Macau is a small but interesting Chinese city! Now, the most spoken languages in Macau include Cantonese, Mandarin, Hokkien, and English. And Ken, at the Macau side of the border with Mainland China (that you showed in the video), you could see a corner of the great railway station of Zhuhai city at the Mainland side!
I watch your video very funny, keep going 🎉, Ken
Love this vlog well done sir
Wow those alley ways are far more interesting and cooler that the glossy casinos. They remind me of some famous anime movies from Japan.
I feel amazed that you visited the northern place in Macau. The street that you ate the fish balls, I think is the most dirty street in that area. 🤣 don’t you think that? Some people were washing the street while you were eating. And the place you saw many people are buying wines, they were doing parallel import😂, it is so funny to see someone to explore my neighborhood which is not a very good or modern place. For the Ha Sa Beach and Coloane, now actually is full of tourists, most of the face are tourists rather than locals. Just want to share the facts with u😊
Hi Ken!! My friend sent me your video and they said they saw me and my family were in your family!! I’m the man who talked to you when you were eating egg eart!! I’m so surprised!! lol !!!
Oh yeah I remember you and your family! Funny that you see this almost 1 year later 😁
❤
Best beers from Czech Republic
You finally try Macau beer 😂
Pity you didn’t see my message on IG and here. I could have taken you on several ancient trails areas near the Chinese border where illegal immigrants used to escape into HK. In fact the first time I went with a local runner and he didn’t realise I had no visa. About 16 years ago. He was very shocked and worried when he told me we were now in China and I told him I had no visa. We had to run a couple of kms uphill to avoid being caught. He showed me a photo of Shenzhen from 30 years ago it’s really grown fast, Macau is an interesting day trip for HK people - haven’t been since Covid so will make may way over there soon.
Yes, there are many people from mainland china travel to work to Macau everyday instead of staying in Macau since crossing the border takes about 15minutes
You can go to Zuhai
What mouth watering fish momos
Nice hair cut 👍🏽
Nice vlogggg
Very nice bro i watching from nepal
02:46 this reminds me of the border of West- and East Berlin
Gongbei is macau crossing border to zhughai. You should try Portuguese tarts is really nice.
Hi Ken , please make some videos about Shenzhen also . They have a huge Subway system there that can bring you to
a lot of places at very low charges .
the snack are fish balls and wheat gluten the snack that have the mayonnaise inside is something we like to put in hot pot or as toppings for instant noodles or eat it alone
most of it are made with fish paste like fish balls
we have other that have different fillings too many asian countries have those of something similar
Best egg tarts
1. Pasties de Belem
2. Lord's Stow
Pasteis de Nata
Maybe you already left the area. But every time you say doche (thank you) in a shop, i felt shocked for a sec.
Doche 多謝 literally mean many thanks. If we use that when receiving something, it means we're getting something for free. Maybe they already used to people mixing up different words of thank you, but I would still be in shock for a second.
Like my friends tells me to help them hold a pack of drinks in the supermarket, and they say doche right after, it means they expect me to pay for it. (Most likely a joke anyway)
But if they say um goi 唔該, that means thanks for holding that.
In hongkong letter G,they pronounce k. Omkoi😊
22:24 ..yes, maybe its magnetic sand / ironsand.. that means watch out for your electronic devices, especially if they are with magnets themselves.. I wrecked a camera on such a beach, the magnetic particles got into the camera and it had short circuit or something because of that.. I am not sure if its such a sand, but if you havev a magnet you can test this
I like your video, support .
Which football team you support in Germany?
Werder Bremen 🤙
If you have time in Macau try the Portugese and Macanese food at the restaurant at the Tourism school. They used to have a teaching hotel and restaurant. Google to find out. Need to make reservation. I think it is at the northern end of town. This is old information but worth checking out.
Hi Ken, I like your travel so much. I like how you try your best to stay with locals and your happy face.
May I ask you how to find those places that you are going? Just googling keywords like “Attractions Hong Kong” “Portuguese tart Macau”? It is hard to find any of these places by TripAdvisor🤔
Many thanks:)
9:32 correct😂
Hope to see your vlogs from china and japan as well soon
U ordered the popular fish ball, second meat balls were fish paste with so-called lobster inside, most likely they were eggs of seafood. Lobster very expensive in HK n Macau, couldn’t at that inexpensive price! The dressing is curry modified for Chinese. You can pay by Octopus there.
The coconut drink in Macau costed u $30 but the bank note in red seemed a$100 bank note plus $10 in HK bank notes, was I wrong? Might be u paid in Macau money which I didn’t familiar with it.
Love your videos. Very interesting. Btw can i ask how you keep the audio on your videos so even especially will you are flipping the camera infront of you then back to you. Do you use a special mic? Thanks and keep up the great videos
Just the in-built mic from the camera. This video was filmed with a DJI action 1. Now I use the DJI action 3
@@KenAbroad thanks i really appreciate your time to reply. Can i ask if you use a windslayer on your action 3 for wind reduction? Keep up the great videos i enjoy watching them😁
You have gone to the right place for the most famous original pork chop bun in Macau. Fat man (fai lo)pork chop bun.Congrats
Ken if you ever make it to China you should go to the mall right next to the border and the electronics mini city. Very interesting
Great job in Macau Ken! Not many youtubers come here. Hope your next stop is Taiwan...street food haven of Asia!!
I was so happy when watching this episode because I live in a place where opposite the Park you visited. Feeling satisfied that as it is the first time I found out someone is vlogging in my area, it must scare you a bit, I believe. To be honest, as now we have a lot of mainland Chinese filled in Macau, maybe they are not that well-behaved and scare you a bit. But the actual people living in Macau are much better; just to let you know the fact here. And here, the youtube comments are also many mainland Chinese commentators to promote that such as Mandarin is the current language in Macau, or you should go to China instead, or saying poor Macau sth like that. And those are fake comments. I believe you may google the news to know more about these things happening in Hongkong and Macau.
OMG!! Are you Chinese or not ???? Please stop your hatred comment !!!!!
