I personally find that Macau Post do issue interesting and beautiful stamps. This set of stamps is definitely one of my personal favourites, something that I would add to my collection. Four pieces of stamps, when combined, illustrating the scene in a traditional tea house where customers enjoying their dim sum and tea, while catching up with friends, the tea house workers busy serving hot steaming pao and adding hot water to a pot of tea, while an old lady selling the dailies, for some customers would spend their time catching up with the news while having their tea in the tea house. And, can you spot the spittoon in one of the stamps?
