Today is 25 December.
When I was out, as usual, I passed by the famous Rua da Felicidade. I saw a lot of people queuing in front of the shops for the famous food such as the shark's fin soups, Wan Tan Noodles.
Many people were holding the guide books and were patiently waiting for the recommended food.
This street is very famous for food, as whether people look for places to eat or not, the tourists would like to stop by this place and buy some gifts for friends - the Chinese cookes, peanut candy, egg rolls and all kinds of sweets can be found here, especially, the famoust shops - "Choi Heong Yuen" and "Koi Kei", they have the stores in this area.
Actually, there are many eating shops and restaurants in this street, the most famous and oldest are Sai Nam Restaurant(Chinese), Lei Hong Kei Restaurant (Chinese) and the Fat Siu Lau Restaurant(Portuguese), Cheong Kei Noodles, Tai Sam Un Congee. They have been there for many years ago.
It seems to me that most of the others were newly opened in the recent few years only, like the shark's fin stores, there are more than five in this area.
The name of the street means "prosperity", it used to be the street where the prostitutes worked and lived.
The street is not very long, but it is narrow, only one car can pass through. However, it is near the main street - San Ma Lou.
All the houses there are only 2-3 floors height and the outlook of the houses are quite similar. I remember my father told me, most of the houses are used to be owned by one person.
Few years ago, the Government spent money to renovate the houses for the owners few years ago, all the windows and the doors of the houses were painted in red ( it was very ambiguous, as nearby, there is another street called - "Red Window Door Street" - in Portuguese Rua Alfandega).
The street is famous now for it attracts many visitors to come for the delicious food,not for the GIRLS!!
Today, I can see the long queues in front of Cheong Kei Noodels and the Tim Fat Shark's fin soups.
Good Choices!?
