Macau's "Yat Yat" Ferry Street Store｜Discovering "Every Day is a Good Day" in a Cozy White Space

On my second visit to this charming white house, I finally stepped inside! The Ferry Street store is even smaller than the one in the downtown area. Its steep white iron staircase feels like a movie set, requiring you to bend down to avoid the ceiling as you climb—adding a sense of adventure! Upstairs, the low sofa by the window is warmed by sunlight, with greenery peeking in from outside. Suddenly, the store's name "Yat Yat" (meaning "leisurely day") makes perfect sense. I ordered two green-themed drinks paired with desserts: "Oat Milk Hojicha"—as comforting as a winter sweater, blending the nutty aroma of roasted tea with the creamy texture of oat milk, topped with delicate milk foam clinging to the cup's edge; and "Uji Matcha Tonic"—a delightful surprise! The slight bitterness of matcha meets the fizzy sensation of tonic water, with lime slices adding layers of tangy notes. Even the sound of ice cubes clinking feels like music. The dessert "Pistachio Dacquoise" is a must-try! Crispy meringue sandwiches rich pistachio cream, with green icing sprinkled like spring sunlight. Each bite crunches audibly, while the filling is as soft as clouds. Lounging on the sofa with friends, chatting about "when to come back next," sunlight filters through the iron staircase, casting grid-like shadows on the floor. Time seems to slow down, almost freezing. The store has a "guest notebook," and flipping through last year's entries, I found one saying, "I sheltered from the rain here." It struck me that the magic of such small shops lies in turning "passing by" into "moments worth remembering." After finishing up, I strolled around Ferry Street: a 3-minute walk to "Lam Kee Congee" for a bowl of assorted congee, a quick turn to snap photos of the retro sign at "New Central Hotel," and by evening, watching fishing boats return at "Inner Harbor Pier." This tranquil "Yat Yat" vibe extended throughout the afternoon. Summary: Perfect for those looking to "briefly escape the hustle and quietly hang out with friends." For just 60 MOP per person, you can enjoy a "white space + green-themed drinks + casual chats" kind of happiness. Just remember to hold onto the iron railing when climbing the stairs—after all, "leisure" should always be built on safety! 🌿
