Monday 4 June 2007

Yeah! It is another Sunday. But it has already ended and tomorrow I'm going to work again. Well, we went to this street on the first Saturday when we arrived. We revisited it again today because we wanted to do a 1-on-1 shopping. So we left home at 3pm but once we stepped out of our place, it started to rain. We had to take cover in a book store, which is kind of smaller than Borders at Wheelock, but it has two-storey high. It is a very famous book store here. Whenever we have to describe where we stay, people will relate it to this book store.
Anyway, we thought the rain was smaller so we took bus 24 to the place. Apparently bus 24 route has a lot of famous places to shop, eat etc. But once we got down of bus 24, it started to pour heavily again and we took shelter again. Whenever we see the rain slightly smaller, we will cover as much ground as possible. Till we saw 'Texas Burger'. The logo looks like Burger King's but the food serve is comparable to KFC. So we went to order some snacks there and chill till the rain has stopped. After Wendy finished the last nugget, the rain stopped just as she had predicted.
Then I told her to let's go shopping first. While shopping, we saw this uncle flipping something and looked interesting so we got one to try. The picture below is what we ate. It is actually egg, with meat, spring onion, cai poh (the thing on top of chee kueh) and mushroom. We ate one and thought it is really nice so we went to get another. RMB 1 (S$0.20). Quite filling too for such a cheap stuff. =)

Then after we were finished with shopping, we wanted to get this chicken which seasoning is heavenly. But two times we went there, two times, it is closed. We went passed earlier in the day but decided to buy it after our shopping. But who knows, it was already closed. So I went to buy char siew bao. Two for RMB 1 (S$0.20). Damn cheap man!!! Haha. The taste of it is very different from Singapore's. The char siew is brown instead of red. The pao is handmade so it is much tastier.

We were on our way to go to our bus-stop when we saw a stall selling something interesting. Then we see two ladies standing there waiting for their order so we went to take a look. The ladies told us that if have never tried it before then we should because it is really nice. Actually, it is Chee Cheong Fan but with vege, meat and eggs in it and the topping is with cai poh.
I have recorded the process of making it. It will come after this post. =) Enjoy!

The ingredients in it. Not very clear because I didn't want to continue making it uglier. But this should be good enough. Rest assure, it is really delicious! Really really good. Love the gravy. This is RMB 3 (S$0.60). Where can you find cheap and filled-with-ingredient Chee Cheong Fan in Singapore? That's because you can't. Haha. Pardon me.

Anyway, after my shopping, I bought 3 tops and a pair of slippers. Therefore, I have spent RMB 180 (inclusive of food). It is S$36. I have not even touched S$50. =p If I am in Singapore now, I would have spent way more that $50 for these much of things. Well, it's late. Got to wake up early for work tomorrow. Enjoy another week in school pals! Work hard and don't slack my dear friends. I'm watching over you!!! =p
