Day 4: 9 Jan 2006 吃喝玩樂篇

Its time to combine both the eating and playing section.. because i have gotten tired and took lesser fotos for these few days.. hahahahaa...

The day started with breakfast at 茶餐廳 again.. I think we had fried mee and 粥. But it doesn't taste good. The fried mee i mean... Its very dry and plain. And someone in our group say the waiter is looking very funnily at how we ate the fried mee. We had a conclusion that the mee is only meant to go together with the 粥... meaning to dip the mee into the 粥.. tats why its dry and plain... stupid us to eat it the SG way...

After breakfast we proceed to take the KCR to the Lam Tsuen Wishing Tree.


When we reach there, we were quite disappointed. As most of you know one of the branches of the tree has broken, so i tot the tree will still be there but just not allowed to throw anymore offerings up the tree. I was only half right. The tree is still there... but all the offerings has been taken down.. so its really very bare... instead near the trees are boards set up for pple to "hang" their offering.. very much like the japanese temple where they will hang the "wooden fu"...


Afterwhich, we continue to take the KCR down to Luo Hu on to Shen Zhen. Seriously I was quite impress by how Shen Zhen has developed. We took their Metro system (similar to MRT) to 老街 and shop at their 東門 (which is super like taipei 西門町).


The first thing we did when we reach 東門 was to settle our stomach. We found a Steamboat buffet and happily settle ourselves to eat it as its such a shiok thing to eat steamboat in cold weather. But the food sucks...


After food of course left with shopping... our gang spend quite sometime in the DVD shop buying china made DVD.. i also bought a set of Ranma 1/2 back... its the only version that has everything in full and is not too ex.. all other versions i saw in HK were incomplete... :( I also saw the set of 古惑仔 dvd.. very tempted to buy but i'm very afraid of the quality and whether it had been severly censored... so in the end i decide to give it a miss.. anyway QH bought it.. can always borrow from her.. hehehee....

while most of them spend until "pok" there.. i had little things to buy.. see i told you i'm not a shopping queen... a pair of shoes and a dvd is all i got for the day.. plus spend some money to eat their fresh made "老婆餅" and bbq octopus... the bbq octopus taste really really good.. regret only buying one stick.. shld have bought more...

and yeah talking about the pair of shoes its from a china made brand... heard from the sales that it started from a small brandless company to now having alot of chain in china and 2 branches in HK... and even got Jay Chow to 代言... but i must say the quality of the shoes really feel good... the sales lady keep emphasing that the soles are imported unlike other china brands which are made locally.. and this remind me of shir.. hahaha... i was wondering if they ordered from her company... actually the sales lady was really nice.. shld i say the only nice sales person i met in Shenzhen tat day... and she also tot we are students.. hahahaha.... too bad she wasn't around when we went back later to buy more shoes...


As for dinner for that day... I can't remember le... I only noe its back in HK.. cos we really dun trust the food over at Shenzhen and we were trying to rush back to see if we can make it to the Snoopy World.. but we can't.. nvm we will go next time i visit HK...
