I woke up when my oldest cousin (Vincent) got back home from work. He works night shifts so I haven’t been able to hang out with him.
It took Alva and my Mum forever to wake up during which in that time I got to Facebook chat with sissy so it was nice.
PoPo, Alva, Mum, and I walked to Dim Sum. This is the same place where we hotpotted the first night. They are bad at their job. We wrote down 12 foods we wanted and they only gave us 8 … fail on them. So we ate what we have and left. Dim Sum here obviously tastes better but service is not as great.
I found out Alva’s allergic to shrimp so he wasn’t able to eat a lot of foods at Dim Sum. Therefore we stopped at a place where he can enjoy whatever he wanted. Since I didn’t eat much (my Mum at the most), I ordered a Wonton Noodle Soup and Choy to share while Alva got some kind of Beef Noodle Soup.
We walked a bookstore for a freaking 2 hours. Since I didn’t know much Chinese, I finished looking at the English stuff and was bored. Upon leaving, my mum saw some people selling food so we stopped and got our skewers of curry fish balls. YUM! This place wasn’t that great and the woman yelled at me for taking my camera out. Rude. I do what I want …
Alva got fried pig intestines. I would of gotten it if I didn’t get the stink eye from mum.
Cool purple/blue building.
We stopped at a place where we bought little cakes. This was on my list of to-eat because when we were younger, living here, I loved buying a little cake and knowing it belonged to me. This time around, we bought and shared but it was still savory!
When we were younger my parents would buy use little boxed drinks. You know, like when kids drank juice boxes? We drank tea boxes and milk boxes. They sell them in the States but I thought it would be fun to relive the memory so I bought the Vita Lemon Tea drink. Yep. Just like when I was younger.
PoPo cooked dinner for us!! I haven’t eaten her home cooking in almost 15 years. Soup, veggies, chicken, and fish! So dang good.
This is made out of Turtle Shell and herbal medicine that’s suppose to be good for you. I don’t care for it so I stole a couple bites of my mum’s.
I ate my fruit tart from earlier instead.
Everything eaten today was on my list so I’m a happy camper.

I want to go traveling with you! You are so adventurous, sorry about the charger.

haha that would be awesome! I love trying new things. If I was at a place where I didn’t know anyone, I would just walk out myself and explore but kind of hard when you have to make sure to check in with the relatives.
