Dim Sum addicts

Thursday, March 4th, 2010

Ever since K and I found this cheap Dim Sum place we have been ridiculously addicted to it. When we have no idea what to eat, we go for Dim Sum. :D

Oh, well, I have been a big fan of Dim Sum / Yum Cha since I was just a little kid. I just love sleeping in on the weekends and having some Dim Sum with friends or family. When I was younger my family used to go all together every Saturday or Sunday. It was just so warm and nice.

This place is seriously cheap. All dishes are 5 RMB. <3!!!! And 2 or 3 RMB for tea per person. Unbelievable!!!!

I love the shrimp dumplings (har gow) the most. They have 3 real fresh shrimps in it. Yummmmmm. Also the rice noodle rolls there are awesome. We’ve tried shrimp ones, beef ones and char siu ones. No disappointment. I love the beef and porridge there as well. Ahhhhh thinking about it right now is making me so hungry! :P It is definitely the cheapest place I have ever been for Dim Sum and one of the most delicious too.

Chengdu

I love spicy food. That is a well-known fact. Since I was a kid I’ve been addicted to spicy food like crazy. Life without it? Nightmare!

Lewi loves spicy food. That is a well-known fact as well. And you cannot imagine how happy I was to find out that.

So basically we two are spicy food addicts. Call that a great couple!

Before Lewi met me, he had no idea about Sichuan food. I’m so sad for him. Haha. :P Anyway, as soon as he tried Sichuan food, he fell in love with it.

So what’s a dream place for us to eat? Without any doubt – Chengdu, the capital of Sichuan Province.

When Lewi was in China in December last year, we went to Chengdu. :D

The first night, we went to Yu Lin Road for Lao Ma Tou Hot Pot. It was soooooo spicy and yummy. It was so freaking cold in Chengdu at night but the hot pot definitely took the coldness away. The best hot pot and also the most spicy hot pot I’ve ever had.

This is Jing Li. It is a Chinese-style and cultural place full of shops, cafes and restaurants. I can’t say that I’m very impressed but it was nice to walk around on a (more…)

Cheung Chau

Saturday, October 3rd, 2009

I like Hong Kong. But frankly, there are many places, such as TST and Mong Kok, I seriously hate a lot. However, I am always into those small islands and Cheung Chau is probably my favourite.

This small island is 10km southwest of Hong Kong Island and there is ferries service between Central pier and Cheung Chau. It takes 55 minutes for ordinary ferries and 35 minutes for high speed ferries. For further details, check out the First Ferry website: http://www.nwff.com.hk/

Usually you can see beautiful views of Hong Kong on the ferry. It is really stunning! They have outdoor seats and you can get snacks and drinks on the ferry as well.
