finally after wanting to try the food at this place for so long... i no longer have to wait! haha.. hmmm, the sprouting of many hongkong cafes is common.. i wonder if it'll be like bubble tea.. just a fad?

anyway, i thought this xin wang hongkong cafe at kovan looks pretty nice.. the lighting compliments the layout of the cafe.. and the seats are comfortable!!

we went down for food after a mahjong session (what else during weekends? i'm starting to think my weekend is empty without mahjong!).. it was about 4am or sometime near? i can't remember but that's not important hehz..

the food!!! we ordered milo dinosaur, a mee-sua, baked pasta and red bean ice kachang.. oh my the ice kachang is HUGE! 4 of us couldn't even finish half of it.. haha.. i recommend the mee-sua, it's tasty, and the egg's big and juicy! *keke*

if you think that's the end of good food for the weekend, you're wrong! well yes, usually we'll try good food and/or new food once a week esp during the weekends, but this weekend's a little different..

the following afternoon, barely after a few hours of rest after the 'late' supper, or 'very early' breakfast, monkey's friends brought us to this dimsum place at chinatown area..

apparently this place is popular with the japanese.. their menu even include japanese translation! the place was very crowded when we went there.. and while we were eating, there was a long queue after us.. hmmm, i'd really love to recommend this place to you all but i was driven there.. and i duno what is the exact address!!! hmmm.. the next time i visit i'll at least remember the road name okie dokie!

hee.. here's the list of food we tried: xiao long baos, which are juicier than din tai fung's and tastier than crystal jade's.. hot & sour soup, in my opinion i thought it was okie, i prefer din tai fung's soup.. then there was gyoza, which was full of fillings, yummy! we also tried this pancake-look-a-like dish.. it was also filled with fillings similar to gyoza.. the zha2 jiang4 mian4 we tried was the best i've ever eaten so far.. the mee is very Q and the meat sauce was perfect to go with the mee~.. we had gui4 hua1 soup tang1 yuan2 for dessert.. the soup's real nice!!! i finished the whole bowl, including the little petals of flowers..

guess what we did after lunch? no prizes for the correct anwer..

ya, we went for mahjong again.. nope, i was the spectator and 'super-substitute' only.. not one of the major 'legs' of the table..

while monkey was happily winning money for his dry swimming, i hopped down to town for dinner with my 'internet business models' project groupmates weihao, elgin and marianne.. it was wh's treat! hee.. Happy Birthday to him! and hope he likes the present we got him.. hehz.. should be of good good use!

by the way, isn't it so nice we can still meet up for dinner after we graduate? i mean how many times do we actually meet our project groupmates to catch up and have fun, or in our case playing 'snake and ladders' was our favorite.. we always have a good laugh at one another over this simple game.. maybe it's just me, but i feel so happy i get to go out with them and still keep in contact.. haha.. and i found out that marianne is actually j's colleague! hehz.. what a small world..

back to the dinner.. he treated us to authentic japanese food at cuppage plaza.. the same restaurant jasc brought me to and introduced me to the beef stew.. i still remember there was one i was really depressed over k, and dapig treated me the full sashimi set at this restaurant.. haha..

the sashimi was good.. so this time i had the sashimi beto set.. oh ya, the menu's in jap!! i can't understand it for goodness sake, and there's no pictures! haha.. fortunately most of the staff there are chinese and they were able to translate it for us.. hee.. wh recommended this grilled sotong.. and it was DELICIOUS!!! looks so simple yet so tasty! hahah you have to try it to know.. it's really really worth the price.. hehz..

we also tried this dish which i totally forgot what name was it.. but hell yeah, it was yummilicious as well! haha..

everytime i visit this restaurant, i try different dishes and so far i have not been disappointed.. hee.. i miss the beef stew leh!! haha when i get my pay.. mayb will go there with monkey!!
