yum cha went to my second home (at least for the next three years) to drop off books as well as my great buys from diaso, so i do not have to carry too many things on the first day. took longer than expected, but managed to finish up and join lil and edmund on the way to yum cha @ chinatown. i've heard plenty of good reviews about the place. although i'm not a fan of dim sum, i was looking forward to it.  the restaurant has an electronic device, which allows you to call for waiters, tea and such, on every table. so every time you press a button, your table number will flash on the screen as if you were at a polyclinic. tau was keeping himself amuse with this device while waiting for our food. the restaurant was so understaffed the staff did not even notice our number was flashing. you get faster service flagging down the waiters.     the food was average. for the price we paid, $101 for 6 people, i expected better. we waited very long for the food to arrive and the last few dishes were not hot at all. the only thing i would say was superb was the paper-wrapped chicken. everything else just lacked something. the egg tart was fluffy but not sweet enough. the silver fish was crunchy but dripping oil. the century egg and lean meat porridge was smooth but the pork was non existent.  after splitting up with the guys, i met up with my sis across the road for koi bubble tea and durian pancake. sis tried the new passionfruit tea with aloe vera, while i had the chocolate milk tea. sad to say, they will no longer be serving small cups from 31 jan 2010 onwards.  we managed to make it down to vivocity to catch sherlock holmes. awesome movie! lil said her friend found the british accent quite hard to understand, but i found it ok. maybe what her friend meant was that robert downey jr, who plays holmes, was alternating between muttering and speaking like a bullet train most of the time. however, i thoroughly enjoyed the movie. it was humourous and exciting. hope the second one comes out soon.  to conclude the day, we met up with our parents at sushi tei for dinner. it was crowded by the time we exited the cinema because of the countdown held on the rooftop of the mall. couldn't wait to escape the crowd and head home after such a happening day. |
