Birthday celebration in Crown (Part I)






The Crown hotel is one of the best hotels in Macau.
It is located on the COTAI strip in the City of Dreams complex next to the Venetian Macau.

The Crown, Grand Hyatt and Hard Rock Hotels make up the City of Dreams complex.

I stayed 2 nights at the Crown to celebrate my birthday. The view from the room was awesome!

I also had dinner in the Crown, one night in one restaurant and the other night in another restaurant,
 which was managed by a Michelin star chef from the Altira Macau (formerly the Crown).

I want to share my happiness with you all!

  3. 多謝RICKY欣賞, 其實原理同玩拉爆差唔多,

  6. Thanks Lily Riani! Yes the view of Crown hotel is awesome!
    If you stay for more than 2-3 days I recommend you choose the Hard Rock hotel,
    the price are more reasonable and the view are similar!

    Is that Bombed Alaska? My mom made one when I was a young child. I have always remembered it as Bombed rather than Baked. What a grand bday celebration! :)

    ReplyDelete
  18. Thanks Mei Teng! ^^
    I'm not sure if they were Bombed?
    This was the secound time I had Baked Alaska,
    this had cake and ice-cream inside,
    another time had many ice-cream inside,
    they also served with fire around it!

  21. Rafael, I love photographing floodlit buildings at night and although I have not had time to do it this year.... because I'm always on the move !!! , you have given me some lessons here as this is a masterclass in the subject, amazing pictures.
    Highly commended also are some of the art pictures (15 & 17) taken in the room. The food pictures always draw plenty of comments to your page... A feast for a king I think, hope you enjoyed it, My favourite is pic 22.
    I don't say this too often on blog comments but I'm pleased i looked in at your page today.

  22. Wow... It's so magical!
    Reminds me of Venice!

    The night shots are so futuristic too!
    Too bad, my rubbish camera cannot zoom when taking long exposure photos...

    >Is this 蒲公英?? I thought it was type of chrysanthemum…
    Not, it's not really like a dandelion but they both belong to the same family.

    Anyway, I am off to Greece for a week tomorrow.
    I shall come back and visit you after that.
    Be good!

  37. 很出色的夜景~ 生日快樂 to Rafael~第 4 張有少少變型~ 係唔係用左魚眼呢?

    ReplyDelete
  38. 多謝JC的祝福! 4至7都用了魚眼, 因為用24mm都影唔哂全景!
    用魚眼可以影到14mm, 把眼前的180度夜景都攝入相中!
