Senado Square is the main bustling area in central downtown on the northern side of Av. Almeida Ribeiro (New Road) where a great number of shops and food stalls line the streets. The best buys here are fashionable clothes.
Running north from Senado Square is the Rua S. Domingos with its abundance of clothes, shoes and cosmetic shops. It is very reminiscent of the Causeway Bay in Hong Kong for this reason. Brand-label clothes shops selling U2/ G2000, STACCATO, NINE WEST and others on this street are very popular with young people in Macau. Another feature of this street is the various cosmetic stores such as Body Shop, Sa Sa, Angel, H2O+ and others which are usually packed with young girls and female office workers seeking the latest and best in cosmetics in the summer months. Further east to Rua S. Donmingos is Rua Pedro Nolasco da Silva where a copious display of fashionable clothes, bags and sportswear can be found. The largest shopping center in this area has a wonderful selection of men's and women's clothes, jewelry and fashion accessories on each of its three floors. Take a left turn in a northerly direction just before going onto the Rua Pedro Nolasco da Silva and you will find a short street called Rua da Palha. This street has a number of shops selling glass ware as well as an artwork shop selling all manner of delicate porcelain water lily ornaments. (The water lily is the municipal flower of Macau)
On the other side of the New Road are two rows of traditional Chinese buildings. It was a red light area in old days but is now occupied by pastry shops and souvenir shops. In the Rua da Felicidade, you can find bakeries and pastry shops that sell many Macau-style Dim Sum. Here you can sample many of the goodies on offer before deciding on your purchases and is an ideal place to buy gifts that are a unique memento of the region.
At the end of the New Road, there are snack stalls and pastry shops that are noted for the excellence of their local specialties. You can find the best of these and avoid the less desirable ones by people watching. The longer queues are a sure guide to the good ones - remember the local people always know best!

Paella - Portuguese Seafood and Rice
This is the same as the traditional dish that is so popular in Portugal and Spain although the rice content betrays its oriental origins.

Covered and allowed to simmer, the rice absorbs the liquid and the result is a mouth watering inexpensive dish.
