Currency:
Official currency is MOP$ but Hong Kong Dollars are widely accepted as well. So if you are taking a trip to Hong Kong and Macau, just go for Hong Kong Dollars. One thing to note, they don't accept HKD 10 dollars coin. They are okay with dollar notes though. And they will hand you your change in MOP$ when you give them HKD.
Weather
June to September: Summer
October to Dec: Fall
Jan to Feb: Winter! Ok, i'm exaggerating
Mar to May: Spring
I went in late January, thinking it's those cool weather within the range of 12 degrees and above. It's COLD, the wind blows like nobody's business and you cant escape the cold except when you are in the casinos! It was probably one of the coldest January Macau has ever experienced, they don't have indoor heating which explains why most of the shops are still so cold despite the door being closed.
Food
Food is aplenty from Cha Chang Ting to Portuguese Restaurants. Some Cha Chang Tings are open till late like 3am at least.
Must Try Food
Portuguese Egg Tarts - NICE NICE NICE
Pork Bun
Almond Biscuit
Portuguese Food - Mouth watering
All in all, Macau is a very delightful place to go around. Yes, it can't compare to Hong Kong for its shopping but the vibrant casinos and good food more than make up for it! So please go to Macau if you have a chance.
