Met up with Vanessa and Jiahao today at Chinatown today. It was supposed to be a treat from Vanessa because she wanna repay me for giving her sister computer engineering notes. Haha but Jiahao and I decided we shall just treat her instead.
Anyway we went to the hawker centre near Pearl Centre. Something new for me since I haven't been to this hawker centre since it was last renovated, which was quite a long time ago. We ordered "Buy 3 get 2 free plus porridge" set @ $22. I ordered 3 chilli and 2 normal since I didn't know what they wanted. The chilli ones were freaking hot, but freaking awesome. The porridge was also heavenly, and mixed with the gravy from the pot of froglegs was simply irresistable. YumZZzz... We also had guo tie, those fried dumplings to be dipped with vinegar and ginger. What a dinner it was. Shiokz!
Next up we decided to walk towards the real Chinatown area by crossing an overhead bridge. There were plenty of old folks on the bridge, with musicians basking, some Mickey and friends figures specially for Chinese New Year on display. We then crossed over to the other side and walk along the shops, mingling with the crowd. There were plenty of Chinese New Year stuff being sold, like those decorative items, foodstuffs etc. We didn't complete the whole area since it was so crowded. Then we left for home. Still got work tomorrow! Argh! Being in Chinatown is something old for me since I've been here before. But then, everytime I come, it's a whole new experience.
