Sinocidal Re-gifts
We have a new Top-Dog Blog Contest winner this week. The gentlemen at Sinocidal, after realizing that our contest was not just a sheister sham, joined the fun and beat out our reigning champion Mr. Poon. They’ve just contacted us and reported that in turn they are going to give the hotel stay away to the winner of their photo-naming competition. It looks like this week’s prize is a bit of a hot potato.
This is the photo to which you can submit your captions. They’re accepting new captions up until Sunday June 3rd, after which point they’ll select the top few and let their readers vote. If you want a crack at the hotel room or to take part in the voting, you can find the action on Sinocidal.

Crown Macau Revisited
So I took another stroll through Crown Macau on Monday night. I was a little unsure of what to expect following the Grand Opening but frankly I was impressed. There were a bunch of punters on the first two floors. We went to the top floor bar to swill a few finely concocted drinks. Fair prices, nice ambience. High ceilings and patterned chandeliers make the upstairs casino and bar comfortable. Colour scheme: greys.
With an effective means of getting people to the casino, it looks like they’ll have a pretty good thing going. I noted that Crown Macau now has shuttle buses waiting in central Macau right outside of Hotel Sintra and Fortuna Japanese Restaurant.

Hey all, the Blog Contest winners have been announced. We put it up online yesterday, but I didn’t get a chance to blog it (yesterday was a holiday here). This week’s King of Fortune Lucky Draw Competition winner is Janis from Macau. Congratulations!
The winner of this week’s lucky draw portion of the Top-Dog Blog Competition is 米迦 (Micah) from Macau. Here’s her post about our contest. Congrats Micah.

Wynn Macau Wins Big
Just noted some prestigious news showered down upon Macau’s beloved resort, Wynn Macau. For those of you planning to visit Macau, this hotel is a top choice. I’ve spent a fair few nights (nay, early mornings) at après parties in the magnificent suites overlooking either Wynn’s fountain or the harbour. Nothing like a 4 a.m. bottle of bubbly in exquisite luxury.
I digress. Condé Nast Publications, the publishing house responsible for pretty much every magazine you’d want to read, just released their Concierge.com/Traveler Hot List for 2007. Wynn Macau won big. The entire resort places on the Hot Hotel List. Il Teatro, the famed Italian restaurant overlooking the fountain show, places for restaurants. And The Spa places for, well, best spas (my colleague is updating our spa directory and our tech team is designing search functions, so you’ll soon find all the spa info you require, including The Spa at Wynn Macau, on our website.).

The undisputed champion of our Top-Dog Blog Contest (most traffic portion) is Mr. Poon… again. There were a few valiant attempts from his nearest rivals, but no blog has trumped his in the two periods to date. Counters were re-set to zero last Thursday and we’re underway again.
I’d like to take this chance to highlight a few other blogs that are in the contest that have caught my eye… I’m going to turn to Hong Kong where we have HKMacs and The Culinary Chase.
HKMacs describes itself best: “A fountain of knowledge for all things Macintosh, liberally sprinkled with cynical, politically-incorrect observations on politics and life in general and garnished with Mrs HKMacs delicious recipes topped up with delightful musical interludes.” Hehehe. Funny.
Ms. Chase has the most appetizing photos in the entire blogosphere and the recipes she digs up make my stomach rumble. Bookmark this page if you need a new dish that is going to impress your date.
Over and out.
