Lunch

Went to Junction 8 for lunch with the lunch time kaki and we decided to give a try at the "always crowded Wan Chai Hongkong Tea Room" there.

I remembered I blogged about it, something along the line that I want to go and try with hubby. But the place is always so packed so no choice, till now never had a chance to go in yet.

Finally, had the chance to go and best of all, when we reached there, no crowd! We were one of the few customers. Must be because we reached early.

I had the beef hor fun and iced yuan yang. The beef hor fun is so so, I don't particularly fancy it. I feel that the hor fun is too sticky and chewy. Beef tastes too powderly, not really the way I like it to be done with hor fun. The sauce tasted a little too bland too. Come to think of it, I still prefer the beef hor fun at AMK, the zi char stall in the coffeeshop beside the Singpost. Tates much better and its also cheaper! =)

The kaki tried it and she say not bad. So, to each her own when it comes to food.

She had the seafood baked rice. I tried a bit and I think it's pretty good! The amount of cheese on the rice looks quite generous. The only draw back is, they did not shell the prawns, making it a little tough to eat daintily. But I must say, the kaki does it well. She can eat all kind of difficult to manage food with ease and always with poise!

*ENVY*

I AVOID eating hard to manage food outside coz I know I don't know how to eat it daintily and with poise!

Their Iced Yuan Yang is nice though. It comes with a mixture of coffee and tea and then served with a scoop of vanilia ice-cream! Tastes so good and refreshing. It's at $3 a cup, I think it's pretty pricy lor but then again, it tastes good, so that's fine. Since it's good, $$$ spent on it is acceptable!

Between the 2 of us, with our orders of Seafood Baked rice, Beef hor fun and 2 Ice Yuan Yang, the bill came up to $21. I think that's pretty ok for the filling food.

We gave dessert a missed in the begining as we were not sure if we can finished up everything. And it's a good thing we did order any more dessert, I was filled to the brim after I finished my hor fun and drink!

As like any normal Hong Kong theme cafe, they serve the "Po Lao Baos", "Toasts", "eggs" among other others.

I was thinking, it's quite nice to sit there on a lazy afternoon sipping that Ice Yuan Yang and eating some toasts! Quite shiok right?!

After the blessed exams, will make Hubby come here with me one day and do just that! =)

We went to Fancl after lunch and wow.... we each left with 1 big bag of goodies. I got another box of the "Green Tea Brown Rice" and in addition to that, I got a box of the "Dietary Fibre Mix". Yeah... I need some fibre supplements in my life. =(

The kaki has 7% off for this month, hence it's a good time to buy these items now. Else, I got to pay the full price and even though I'm a member of Fancl, there's only 5% off for normal purchases lor. I also got a box of the "Clear Sheets" (wet tissues), there's 30 individually wrapped sachets in that box.

This will come in useful when we head to hot hot Phuket next month. I arm myself with lots of wet tissues when we travel but those at Watons makes my face feel very dry. I hope Fancl ones won't since it will be soaked with their moisturizer.

It'll also be pefect for those times when I come back to office after lunch / meetings / visit and sweating profusely! I can wipe off those dirt and digusting things (i.e melted make up) from my face and reapply without feeling dryness! Hooray!

Bought a pair of slippers from M)phosis as well as the current office pair (which I got in Dec 2006) is getting worn off, need to find a replacement for it. I like M)phosis as their designs are pretty stylish, may be a little pricy but it's so comfy! I wear that slippers as long as I'm in my level and within my office itself, though not many people will see me, but still there are some big shots that drop by once a while. Slippers are not allowed lor, hence I try to get something stylish and not too slippers! hahahahahaah

All in all, a good lunch and a fanastic haul! And while on the way back to office, we saw the banner for facial at $39 for first trial. Not bad right. Will be doing something about it.

Getting a bit tired of going to Fancl as its soooo hard to make any bookings. =(
