Milwaukee Travel Guide

Such a relaxing and fun trip! Plenty of time to both explore and unwind. 😌 🕙 10:00 am – Hit the road! 🕚 11:00 am – Stopped by Chinatown in Chicago on the way Jasmine Milk White Tea ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Perfect for caffeine-sensitive people! I got the Dancong tea with 50% sugar—just right, not too sweet. Aromatic with a light roasted note, rich aftertaste. The milkiness is subtle and not overwhelming. ☁️🍵 Pro tip: Use the straw they give you! Little Dragon Hot Pot ❤️❤️❤️ Right next door. Not crowded. We got the triple-flavor pot with marinated beef, tripe, lamb, and chicken giblets. The marinated beef was SUPER tasty—coated in fragrant spices no matter which broth we cooked it in 🌶️🔥. Lamb and tripe were okay. Skip the chicken giblets—too big and a bit gamey. Paris Baguette ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Tried the mochi donut and a custard & strawberry croissant. The mochi donut was soft yet chewy, lightly sweet with a fried aroma 🍩. The croissant was crispy outside, fluffy inside. The custard was ice-creamy 🍦, and the strawberry cut through the richness perfectly. No guilt here! 🕞 3:30 pm – Checked in at Renaissance Milwaukee West Hotel ❤️❤️❤️❤️ A solid 4-star hotel 🏨: spacious room, great facilities . 10-min drive to downtown Milwaukee; 2-min walk to a mid-sized mall. Cons: $11/day for WiFi 📶, $12/night for parking 🅿️. 🕓 4:00 pm – Explored the nearby mall Includes Cheesecake Factory, B&B, Northridge, Windsor, Sephora, Starbucks, bubble tea, and more 🛍️. Avoid the Japanese food in the food court—the chicken tasted off 🍗🤢. 🕕 6:00 pm – Relaxed at the hotel 🕗 8:15 pm – Dinner at Room Service Bayview 📌 Reservation is a MUST! ❗❗ Papaya Salad: Sweet, sour, and spicy 🥵🌶️. Very refreshing and crunchy. Contains shrimp paste and dried shrimp—a bit funky smelling but tasty if you eat it quickly! Hung Lay Beef Bone Marrow: SUPER, SUPER GOOD!! 😍 The beef was fall-apart tender, bursting with sweet and savory juices. Not greasy at all. We couldn’t stop eating! Namyapu Crab Curry: Fresh at first, then the fish sauce hits 🦀💥. Bean sprouts and cilantro saved the day—added crunch and freshness. Perfect day filled with good food, good vibes, and good rest! Highly recommend this relaxed Milwaukee itinerary 💙. #Milwaukee #TravelGuide #FoodReview #WisconsinTravel #WeekendGetaway
