Deliciously Me

It supposed to be a pre-birthday celebration at Seoul Garden Autocity for dad with the family. Little did we know that there was bigger celebration at Autocity itself. ^^

We decided to have a walk at the SHOP IN d’PARK after the super full buffet dinner. When we reached there, we saw few cute looking tanglung with a long white paper hanging below it. A closer look revealed few Chinese words on that paper.

Apparently there was competition going on. The participants were to look for these tanglung and answered the questions on the paper. It seemed like the questions are those literature related and difficult since my mum, bro and sis didn’t know the answers. Lol!

So, we feasted out eyes on the goods instead. Many nice dresses, bags and accessories attracted my eyes but I was very tight on budget this month, therefore didn’t dare to go near them. LOL.

My sister had gotten herself a dress by the way. Damn cheap. Under RM30! XD

As we walked towards the end of the lane, I heard a lady singing mandarin song but didn’t pay much interest to her voice. Only when we reached the end, we realised there was a singing competition going on as a lady in fancy dress stood on the big stage, serenading to the audience below.

There was also tanglung (lantern) competition going on. This competition which emphasized on using recyclable items as the lantern’s material, showcased creativity, artistic and skills as some lantern blew us away!

Since I brought my DSLR along, I asked my bro to snap all the tanglung exhibited there. Bro was initially reluctant, but eventually enjoyed taking them since he felt, you know “cool”. Lol!

While my bro capturing around, my sis and I went about admiring the lanterns.

Mention about Chinese New Year and everyone will be thinking about new clothes, new shoes, food, beers, angpows (yay!), holiday, family and small gambling (*rub hands gleefully).

But Chinese New Year is not only about all that, it’s about giving back to the society too. Afterall, doing good deeds during the auspicious month is encouraged and applauded by all. Will accumulate good karma ler!

Every year, my parents would pay a visit to old folks’ home to give angpow to the elders. If my uncle and aunt drop by Penang, they will follow my parents there too.

This year, we went to Rumah Sejahtera Permatang Tinggi. According to mum, this old folks’ home is not as lavish as others and is managed by local council, so it’s good to donate there.

Finally, the birthday is here. Lol!

Or should I said WAS here since I’m like a quarter of century and 13 days young d. Hehe!

I started my day early as I got ready for work that day. I didn’t take leave like what my colleagues do since I was saving my leaves for coming my trips. Thankfully nothing major problem cropped up so my mood was absolutely good.

And I went home at 5pm. Quickly showered and get ready for dinner. ^^

Dad came back with a parcel from Baskin Robbin, which went directly to the fridge. Haha!

Then off we went to Sakae Sushi at Sunway Carnival for a little celebration. I opted for sushi since I didn’t want to go far to celebrate as I need to work the next day.

And I was one happy kid for I ordered their Kid’s Meal.

Spent whole morning in Ipoh stuffing our tummies with assorted dim sums, the rest of the afternoon would be something more laid back.

With the rest of my family members telling me to stop bringing to restaurant anymore, but since I was the driver, so I had the final say. Keke. We went to this famous old kopitiam, Tin Chun at Jln Bandar Timah. When we were there, we hesitated to enter because I wasn’t sure if it’s the correct kopitiam. Only when I saw the food that I wanted my family to try, I signaled the rest to enter.

The kopitiam is packed and crowded with people when we entered. Luckily we managed to get a small table without waiting fy or long. A lady came and took order. I don’t know what is the custard called in Cantonese (my Cantonese getting rusty d T_T ) so I pointed to the lady. She then said, “ohh.. Dun dan! Yiu kei kor?” (Oh, egg custard. How many you want?)

We were still full from the dimsum we had earlier, so I told her two. She came back 5 minutes later with 2 plates of dun dan.

Ask anyone on where to have dimsum and they’ll recommend you on the famous, high-class dim sum restaurant, Foh San. However, the people of Ipoh themselves would recommend on other restaurant like Ming Court or Yoke Fook Moon. Indecisive on which one to go, we decided to head to Yoke Fook Moon first, before going for Foh San. We wanted to go for the 3rd choice (Ming Court) but our stomach were beyond full after entering Foh San.

Cut all the crap, let me show you the dimsum from Foh San!
