Tezukuri No Mise (手作之店) Review

This is one of my favourite ice cream shop. I had it last year and decided to have it again this year. This one is super close to where I live, located inside Dragon Centre on the first floor. It's a tiny store.

They have a few flavours but I usually get their tofu flavour. 1 small scoop was $11 hkd, big was $14. I forgot which one I got.

Why I like that flavour? It had a nice soy/tofu taste. Not a lot of place have tofu ice cream that has that taste. Not the creamiest ice cream, there were some little bite of ice. I was find with it.

For that price I didn't expect much. It's actually not bad for that price.

Of course I will go back again, not expensive and super close to home.

Mei Lok Store (美樂士多)

So I saw this store that sell vintage snacks and toys and etc. on TV. I decided to go find it in HK.

 

I went to the one located in Langham mall in Mong Kwok, I didn't know there was one. I'm really into collecting these glass coke/ drink bottles. I don't know why, don't ask. My favourite are coke bottles. I saw a few vintage ones so I bought the Green Spot orange drink ($12 hkd), Hi-C, and Schweppes cream soda as collection. Don't remember price for other 2 but less than $20 hkd each.

You can also get drinks and just drink right after you buy. I bought a warm Vitasoy ($10 I think?), I've never drink warm Vitasoy before, not bad. I guess it's the same thing as what I have on Sundays for my oatmeal? I kept the bottle as well.

It was a cool store, they also have the old weight but in blue, I went on and weighted myself ($5 hkd).

 

Heads up, if you are planning to get the Green Spot drink to try or collect, don't buy it from them. They sell it for $12 each. I've seen it for $11 for 2 at this snack store in Cheung Sha Wan, Sham Shui Po area and I think 2 for $11.50 at 7 eleven. I should have done my "c lai" research before buying... They also sell this in Vancouver, a snack store in Lansdowne. I tried it, it was just so-so. I prefer it carbonated.

It's a cool store so do go and take a look.

Doggy Noodle (十八座狗仔粉) Review

I tried this place last year but I didn't type blog posts before. This was located on Fuk Wing Street, almost like another eat street in Richmond.

The service...I don't know. I guess it's HK, service aren't always great. They always sound like they are yelling at me.

We ordered 2 big doggy noodle ($27 hkd each, I think it was more but don't remember) and a black and white fried balls ($15 or more?).

The doggy noodle, I thought it was ok but not as good as last year. My aunt didn't like it. I think without that sauce and the spicy pickles, it would have no taste. It's a short and thick noodle. They called it doggy noodle because it's like a dog's tail. I didn't think it looked like one but ok. It's almost like those "silver needle" noodle I guess.

I thought those fried balls were not bad, it was super hot though. They were pretty big. They were cow, pork, octopus and garlic balls I think.

 

I think I would come again, I still think they are not bad. I guess I'll get take out next time? They should have glass spoons but I understand no need to wash with plastic ones, just one time use. Some guy asked for chopsticks and the lady said "no chopsticks". The guy was like "no chopsticks?".

Oh heads up, take out, you have to add $1 more. And you are super likely to sit with strangers, typical HK.

I don't know why but every time when I come back to HK airport from a trip they have to take my temperature... My cousin said maybe you look red. I do feel hot lol. But seriously, every time?

Lol I actually downloaded an app for my family to stalk me while I'm on vacation. I don't have to but parents will always be parents and worry. I don't mind them stalking me, I have nothing to hide. I can also see when they are stalking me. Hm... should I uninstall it when I go back to Vancouver? (I didn't)

Some lady called work and asked if I know the company beside us is open. I'm like WTF? Why don't you call them yourself, why the BEEP are you calling me to ask? Are you feeling ok? Please don't waste my time!

Watched "Paddington 2" on the plane. So cute, not bad. Line, "kind and polite the world will be right". True true.

Watched "Justice League", it was ok. I really like Wonder Woman, I was happy when I saw her haha.

Out of the blue, I like the Mandarin version more although I don't fully understand the stuff he sung. I like Sammy, and Niki is it in too. =) Cantonese is not bad too.

Learning to Trust Again

I don't know where to start because I don't want to talk about this story just yet. I'm afraid when I say it, it's not gonna turn out great again. I have been keeping it as a secret and only 2 besties and brother know about it.

I'm happy but at the same time I'm worried and afraid. I'm afraid because it seems too good to be true again. I'm afraid this will just be like all the other ones where I'm left hurt.

I've lost trust after those bad ones, I'm always afraid. It felt a little different compared to the beginning. I guess its true...they only work hard in the beginning...but its only the beginning. 

There are more pauses which makes me think. Is it over soon? It seems like what I say or what I send isn't interesting/important anymore. There aren't as much replies or no replies at all. There aren't as much sweet talking. There aren't much good night, good morning and name calling. Should I even say as much? Am I annoying? Maybe I should stop messaging? I'm lost... I need some assurance. =(

Maybe I should step back before I go too deep?

Am I being stupid again and falling too fast when this may just be another one of those sad stories?

I honestly don't know how many times I have teared already. I'm not confident anymore after all those bad pasts.

I told myself to stop over thinking, if it happens let it happen, nothing I can do anyways.

I can only enjoy the moment where I can share my stories, feelings and everything with.

I guess all I can do now is learn to trust again, trust that someone does care, trust that someone will be there for me no matter what, trust that I am important to someone, trust that someone can sew that wound up for me and trust that something good can happen. Not everyone out there are bad. Right? I hope...

Agnes B Cafe Review

When I was planning for my trip I saw this online and thought I'll give it a try. I went to the one on Langham mall in Mong Kwok. I got take out instead of eating there.

I ordered the Valerie, which was a mont blanc cake ($45 hkd), I've always wanted to try one but couldn't find it. They put that tiny cake into a big hard paper box. I kept the box lol, it's still a brand name box.

It's considered pricey in HK but it's around the same price as the cakes here so I was ok with it.

I thought it looked pretty and it had a b. initial on it which was kind of cool. I tried to cut into it but the last layer was a bit hard, it was like a meringue. It didn't have much of a chestnut taste to it which I was a bit disappointed. I don't quite remember what the other 2 layers were, I should have jot down notes but I forgot. Too busy on vacation. If I remember correctly the layer after chestnut was cream and then it was a chestnut cake layer?

My aunt tried a bit and she said it's not that good and for that price...no.

No, I don't think I would try again. It's pretty but that's all, not that good as a first mont blanc cake. I wish it had more chestnut flavour to it but no. Honestly, with that price in HK, I do expect something better than just that. Hey, at least I tried a brand name cake. =)

Networking Experience VII

I know I said I would stay away until I'm back from vacation but I wanted to talk to people. Bad idea, I know.

There are guys that ask me out super fast without really talking to me. Those people actually scare me a bit. It feels like they don't want to know me or something. Seems like they want something else. And I dislike it when they keep asking to meet up when I said I want to know them more first. Obviously you aren't really looking for something serious. A true gentlemen would not push a lady to do something she doesn't feel comfortable with. When I tried to ask him something he didn't really answer me so I gave up on that dude.

I honestly dislike it when it takes a guy super long to reply me. It turns me off super bad. One guy took like a day or something to reply and he reminds me of this a**hole who I went on a date with. He did the same thing so I gave up on him too. It just shows he isn't that interested so I'm not too. Well, I wasn't interested to begin with, just want to see where it would lead me to, you never know, like last time.

Man, another dude wants to meet up when I said I have to prepare for my trip. What is the difference between meeting now and meeting when I come back? Feelings can change within 3 weeks. If it can change for "that person" who I knew from real life and it changed in 2 weeks, it can happen to anyone. It's not like my face will change after 3 weeks. He can wait till I come back, maybe by then he met someone else and don't need to meet anymore. Or he probably wanna meet now, if not interested, he can move on. Well, just move on. If he doesn't want to wait for me, he ain't worth it! 

If he was my boyfriend I may be like aww, he really wanna see me before I leave. But he is nobody and I feel like he is forcing me to meet up. You know I won't die without meeting a man. Our talk kind of went downhill after I rejected to meet up. He told me to message him when I come back. If he is interested he would continue talking to me until I'm back and by saying that I know he ain't worth my time.

Why am I meeting so much guys that are so eager? Forceful? Or desperate?

Oh well, decided to just talk to a bunch of people, it's networking right?

Typed in February.

Dolce Amore Review

Passed by this place and decided to go try. Thank you for ice cream.

We got the pistachio and pina colada. I don't know the price but I think it was $6 for 2 scoops?

The pistachio was very good. It had a very pistachio taste, close to the real nut taste. It was very creamy. It was pretty melted because someone took forever to pick a flavour, like seriously...

The pina colada was a cooked cream ice cream which was just normal to me.

I'll come back if they have the black cone otherwise nah, I'll go treat other ice cream. =)

I looks like one flavour only...

Bee Blu VIII

My cousin laughed at me and said "you are so naïve, still think there is such a thing as true love". Yea, I'm naïve. I know it's hard to find true love nowadays but I do believe it's out there. I do believe there is such a thing as true love if I find the right person. As long as I keep believing it will happen some day. Right? And like my cousin said, "what you are is what you attract". Therefore, I'll attract someone as naïve and think there is true love. =) I wish, I hope.

So I was eating with my cousin in HK and the whole time I was eavesdropping at the people beside us that was super close. In HK, there is a high chance you have to share tables with strangers, so don't be surprised. That whole time they were talking about love or something. Something like go on trip is like testing cohabit. And the friend was telling the girl to try speed dating. How after 30 years old if you aren't married, you have to change or something?

I don't know. It was interesting. My cousin and I hardly talked. Our tables were so close that I don't feel comfortable talking about anything. Imagine you were on a date. It will be super awkward and obvious that you are on a date lol. And who said if you can't get married after 30 years old you have to change? Are you gonna die without someone?

I was putting one luggage onto the bus and I was going to grab my other one but this woman just jumped in front of everyone else and before me to get on. I almost hit her and I apologized. I'm too nice... She is so rude and I heard her talk, she had a China accent. I wonder if people can tell the difference between someone like me from over seas and someone like her from Mainland... One thing about HK...

I realized one of the guy on the bus works for the airline and on same plane as me. He lives around my area which was interesting (1 stop before mine).

Flaws

Flaws, something that no-one wants to have, we have no choice but to live with it.

I'm a great example of someone with many flaws (this is just one of them), there is a super noticeable flaw that has been with me since a baby. I grew up with this flaw. I caused this flaw myself, at least that's what my mom told me... (smart Cin...smart) When I was younger I never cared about it and no-one ever picked on me about it. However, as I got older and realized how some people judge on appearance, I feel a little self conscious.

It's not a flaw that will ever go away, it's a flaw that I just have to accept and live with it. Be myself and be confident. Flaws may be horrible but in another way, it's God's gift. A gift for me to find someone who is true. Someone that likes me for who I am and not how I look.

I do hope I can find someone that wouldn't mind any of my flaws. I know sometimes flaws are hard to accept so IF, if I could meet someone that would accept, it would be great. But I'm never lucky...

So don't be unhappy if you have flaws, no one is perfect. Because of these flaws, maybe you will find someone perfect? =)

Marcello Ristorante & Pizzeria Review

Someone decided to take me here for dinner. Thanks for dinner.

It's very dark inside but decor was pretty cool. The pizza oven had a face like on it. One lamp had wine bottles on it or something. Service was ok.

We ordered the Napoletan ($11.95) and the Capricciosa ($15.95).

 

I liked the Napoletan more because it was stronger in flavour. I've never anchovies before so it was pretty nice. I like how it was salty, I like strong flavour stuff. It's like a salty fish and I love the Chinese salty fish, yummy. The cheese took up an ok portion of the pizza but it's ok. The pizza was quite thin so not as filling. I wish they had more anchovies on it.

The Caprocciosa wasn't as flavourful to me. It had a nice fresh tomatoe taste to it and more toppings. This was also a thin crust pizza.

I don't think I'll come back, it was good though.

Just Enjoy The Moment!

You know girls love to overthink things. One little action that means nothing, girls can make up a million answers to it. Aren't we amazing or what?

Yea, there was something (probably nothing) and I was sad about it. I was tearing as usual. I thought this time will probably be the same as every other time as well. I'm never lucky. When was I ever?

Bestie always says don't fall too quickly, don't disclose so much, don't this and don't that. I know, I know. But sometimes it's hard. I don't want expectations too. I don't want to fall too quickly too. I'm afraid to get hurt again. I'm afraid I'm opening up for nothing. I do keep my walls up high because I'm afraid and sometimes it turns the people away without breaking that wall down. If so, I know all that just means not meant to be. I know!

It hurts when I want it to be meant to be but it may not. I'm afraid it's the same this time. If this time is another not meant to be, I'm gonna take a rest. I'm tired of this, really tired. It's just that hard to find a meant to be. I don't want to have litres of tears every time. I do hope this time works out.

It's not that I don't care. It's because I'm scared to show anything and it turns out to be another sad story. I'm afraid to get hurt. We are just "friends" right now, I don't want to show too much just yet.

After a shower, I told myself to just enjoy the moment. If it's not meant to be again, just live with it and move on. There is nothing I can do anyways. Things can't be forced. If it doesn't work out, at least I learned something new. It's another experience added into my "bank". And stop overthinking when it may not be what I'm thinking. Seriously Cin!

Out of the blu, not bad. Does it fit this post? At least the bolded ones.

Harold's Bistro and Bar Review

My bestie wanted to surprise me so she brought me to this place. Thank you for the surprise, I've never been here before so it's good.

It was a bit quiet when we got there. We saw at least 3 ladies eating alone at the restaurant. I don't know, I can never do that. Maybe at a food court but not at a restaurant.

The service was really good, the waitress was super nice. They gave us bread too.

 

Anyways, I just wanted to order the crab cake burger ($17) but she started ordering sides too. She got the honey garlic and bbq chicken wings ($15), peking duck spring rolls ($14) and New York steak I think ($31). I don't really like it when my friends spend so much money on me. If you were a guy then I don't mind, please spend more on me haha joking. It makes me feel bad and this bestie will never ever let me treat her back so it makes me even more bad. =( That was one expensive meal...and I'm very thankful!

The chicken wings were a bit hard to eat, I guess that's because it's suppose to be crispy and with the sauce it made it a bit hard to eat. But it's not bad, the bbq was ok but the honey garlic, I couldn't really taste any garlic.

The spring rolls, I thought it's super duper expensive for 4 tiny spring rolls. It was crispy. I couldn't really taste any peking duck but bestie did. I only see a lot of veggie. They should just fill the whole thing with duck for that price, honestly. There was a sauce and I believe it's like the Chinese plum sauce but in a Western style?

 

The crab cake burger came with this chickpea tomatoe based soup (you can pick either fries, salad or soup). The soup tasted like a chilli which I really like. After that soup I was pretty full already because of the chick peas that filled me up.

The burger was ok but it was lacking some flavour and sauce. I guess I shouldn't order anymore fried food from Western restaurants. I was just too full so I pretty much packed the whole thing home.

 

My bestie told the waitress that it's my birthday and they gave me a complimentary dessert off the dessert menu. I picked the mud pie. Aww, it was so pretty and they even added a candle. I'm thinking... I had the same type of cake for my actual birthday but I didn't get a candle on it... Oh well. It was really good, mocha ice cream as well with a cookie crumb like base. They put so much cream on the side and there were a lot of almond pieces too.

 

Overall not bad and I will come back again. It's a super quiet place to eat. Great place to talk lol! Thank you once again for dinner but please don't take me to such an expensive place next time. =) (If you are a guy, please bring me to expensive places, joking.)

Bee Blu VII

Flight back to HK. It's interesting how this guy was talking to me on the plane while I was waiting for the washroom. It was a bit awkward but he seems nice. He actually sits one row in front of me. I see him turn back and look sometimes. Not sure at me or someone else though. But he is like Indian so yup... I have a few Indians that like me on those network stuff too...

Watched "About Time", thought it was nice how he can go back in time to fall in love with the girl of his life. Will I find such a person too? Not the going back in time but someone that thinks I'm the one, the girl of his life? I wish, never lucky. But if I was given a chance(s) to go back in time, I would. I want to go back 2 times. Back to when grandpa was still here and back to last year before my trip. I actually teared a bit while I typed this on the plane...when do I not tear on the plane...

Watched "Goodbye Christopher Robin", it was a little bit boring for me but it's about how my favourite "Winnie the Pooh" started.

Watched "Mean Girls", it's ok. I wasn't a mean girl in high school but I for sure met a few evil bitches back then, well maybe only one.

Watched "Lalaland", it's a nice musical but I thought it was a bit boring. It's nice how those 2 met but too bad they can't be together in the end. That's the reality in life. It's never a happy ending.

My flight went by ok fast. Gonna eat like a pig for the next few weeks. Woot! What's better than doing things that makes me happy.

Out of the blue, I heard this song on the plane and I'm like that sounds like me last year. I actually haven't delete our conversation. I never really delete conversations with people. What difference does it make? Not like I go and read it. Sometimes finding out an answer to everything may not be a good idea. Sometimes its better not knowing, you agree? I couldn't find an actually MV that has the talking except this.

"不痛 不敢覺得痛 (How can you not feel the pain? I always get new pain...)
哪一個比你好 比你差 緊要嗎

咁我曾經 真係輸得好慘
總之有人來陪我 別問那一線之差
會找到比你好 比你差 緊要嗎
我給你撇下了 爭氣點 學愛得高雅
但是說到將來 我怕
真係好怕再愛
好攰 我究竟要喊多幾多次
其實 仲值唔值得去喊？(I do hope this is one last time of crying, but when am I ever lucky?)

Wild Sweet Review V

Yes, 5th review on them. I'm still not done with all their cake. I bought a birthday cake for myself, I know it sounds so sad but I don't want my family to spend money on an expensive cake.

Anyways, I got the passion milk chocolate crème brulee sabayon ($31.99).

The look was ok but can be prettier. This cake was ok big compared to the other cakes I've got from them before. I guess that's why it costs more too. We actually split it in half and ate it in 2 nights.

 

The cake had many layers. The first layer was like mousse/jelly like. At first I thought it was white chocolate but it's not. Good because I don't really like white chocolates. The second layer was a milk chocolate mousse. Then a layer of chocolate ganache or something. Then a layer of passion fruit, it had a tangy taste. Another layer of chocolate passion fruit which tasted a bit bitter. The bottom layer was crunchy and it taste a bit like Ferrero Rocher. The top décor didn't have much chocolate taste to me for some reason and side pieces were white chocolate.

Not bad but it was quite filling. I would come back again if they have other new cakes.

Ghosting

I think I learned the word "ghosting" sometime last year when I was reading stories on MSN.

When I read about it, I don't know what it's like because I've never been ghosted before. Either myself or the guy calls it off, we would say something before we disappear from each other's life. Which I like because at least there is a reason and I won't wonder if that person passed away after their last sentence. I guess that's because I was friends with all of them and not just strangers. It's better to say something and not disappear because you never know when you will meet again in life. You never know if that person will become your boss one day (read from the story).

I realized there are more ghosting nowadays, especially when I started my networking experience. Some guys start talking and after few sentences exchange they just disappear like dust. Some guys that I went on a few dates with, everything seems fine, then they disappear like we've never met before.

I find it kind of rude to just disappear on people without saying anything. If we just talked online it's ok but if we've gone on dates...at least say a reason. Even if you were a gentlemen during those dates, you are now title the "not so gentlemen a**hole". I told my manager about it and she said "yea, like where are their manners?". I guess it wasn't like this in the past (manager's generation)?

I actually wanted to say something to end it in a good way since I didn't feel it too but every friend are like "no, you already said thanks and all that before, no need, they don't deserve your thankfulness/kindness".

So should I follow this "ghosting" trend as well? Or should I think of it as if they got into an accident and passed away. All I have to do after is say "R.I.P."?

Boat House Review

I have been to this restaurant before but at another location. My unexpected 4th dine out. It was for my birthday, thank you to someone. =)

The service was not bad, the lady was really nice. I like how she was asking if we had any plans after lunch and stuff lol. The man that bought out our food, the cake tipped over and fell on his finger and he was like I'll get you a new one. So not bad.

We ordered 2 west coast seafood chowder, fire grilled sirloin, coconut pacific cod, mocha ice cream pie and seasonal crème brulee ($30 each).

The seafood chowder was ok thick and to me it had a strong cream taste. There were lots of bites and pieces in there, not bad.

Pacific cod was not bad at all. The fish was moist, not dry like the other 2 dine out that I tried this year. I guess because this one was pan seared and there was a quinoa and some sauce so it was good. The other ones were fried and dry and no flavour. The dish was well flavoured.

The fire grilled sirloin, I don't eat beef but I tried some. Wow, what a cow, that is one hard cow lol! So hard to chew, I don't know if the cow is old or they over cooked it. Otherwise the taste was ok.

 

Mocha ice cream pie, It had enough mocha flavour and there were peanuts or some kind of nuts on it. I feel like they can make the base of the pie a bit better, it tips over easily, maybe make it a bit more firm. The cream on the side, I thought it would be sweet but it had no taste or maybe the mocha ice cream was sweet so when I try the cream, it had no taste? It was not bad. Where is my candle?

 

Crème brulee, it's ok, not a big fan of crème brulee, too liquidly feeling for me, I like something more firm. The caramelized sugar were stuck to my teeth as usual.

 

Overall, not bad and the dishes were actually quite big, I was pretty full. Yes, I would come back again. However, I don't really like the location, it's hard to drive out of the place, especially when there are a lot of cars.

Bee Blu VI

I wanted to post something else but I didn't work on song lyrics so I'll post when I get back to Vancouver.

My senses are ok correct. When those network guys ask me out after one or two days after talking, it actually scares me. If I do meet them I want my friend to be nearby. I normally don't get that feeling from other people. Friends always tell me to try and I do. But my gut tells me no.

My bestie finally says my six sense is correct lol. I had a weird feeling about this guy because he always ask for my number or other forms of talking. I really wanna ask what is the difference between talking on the app and somewhere else? His replies are so short which is weird. Most of the guys that are interested type me ok length answers.

When I tried to add him as a friend this red line pops up and then it said suspicious user which I never get from other people. I decided to stop talking to that person. I wanted to stop long ago but didn't know how. I don't like ghosting people but I decided to do it to this guy.

He messaged me about it but I ignored. I don't have a good feeling about him. I may miss a chance if he is a good and serious guy but whatever.

Not like I'm gonna get married and have kids anymore. Yes I may be negative but it's better than giving myself false hopes that may not happen right?

No out of the blu till I'm back from vacation.

I WAS Lost

I wanted to post about my feelings. Not like he will ever read it but just wanted to say how I feel. 

I was lost, I thought everything was going well but something seems different. I got this creepy feeling and then no feeling at all. He still sounds nice but he didn't ask about me at all and ended the conversation without saying anything. It's not like him... He also ignored my message. I didn't ask about it and decided not to anymore. I think I just scared him away? 

I thought he was ok at one point but there were factors to consider which may not work in the long run. He was giving me mixed feelings and I also don't really know where I stand in his life... If he was interested I would have given it a try. I was stupid with "that person" once, I'm not gonna be stupid again for the second time with someone else. I'm not gonna die without a guy.

I know we were pretty much strangers and don't know everything about each other and don't know what we are really like. I'm not sure what went wrong but if it's not meant to be, it's not. Honestly, I was hurt but it's better to know earlier than later right?

I honestly thought maybe, just maybe, this is it (which girl doesn't think about this every time). I didn't want to have any expectations but sometimes it's hard not to... I guess it's true, it's too good to be true. How can there be such a nice guy (not nice anymore...). When was "天" ever nice to me and give me something good? But "天" is definitely giving me some good experiences here.

Friends asked if I'm gonna regret not asking him out to make things clear. I was going crazy for a day but I realized why do I have to do this to myself? He isn't the only guy in this world. If he was that interested, he wouldn't ignore me and he would keep fighting but he didn't. If I want people to treat me well, treat myself well first. If he can do this to me now, he can do this to me anytime in the future. I'm stupid but I'm not THAT stupid. At one point I did want to message but I don't see a point when he has moved on to searching someone new.

To him - I know you said you are nice and people take advantage of it but I'm not that type of person. If people are nice to me I can feel it and I'll be nice back. Not sure if this is one reason but I thought of it and it made me sad because I'm not like that. 

If this is the end, I do want to say thank you for giving me such a happy dream. A dream that I've always wanted but can't have and can't keep. I truly appreciate what you have done for me. I appreciate all the time and effort that you have put into every event. I appreciate you for spending my birthday with me. You are super nice and super gentlemen. I'm not sure how many guys out there are like you nowadays. It was a pleasure to meet and know you. I hope you will find that someone special soon and I hope I will too. =) I hope I will find someone as nice as you were but someone that will stay forever and not run. No hate. Best of luck!

Out of the blu, when I was totally over it I heard this song while driving home. I was actually really happy when I heard it. The right things will come at the right time, yes this song. =) The rapping part was the best LOL! I love this song!
劉浩龍 Wilfred Lau (ft. MastaMic) -《走》
"錯了也相信總有誰補救
漸漸皺眉頭
無聊無常亦接受
用盡力量也不夠
走
天空海闊有出口
太抑壓要逃走
將心鎖上也會生鏽
世界已騙你太久
無人可擁有
唯有不用愁
前事放身後
向著快樂繼續走
甘心被過去折磨 開過花唔代表一定會結果 (rap starts)
愛過痛過笑過喊過 對與錯 剎那花火
回憶只係枷鎖 過咗去 就當上咗一課
拎得起 放得低 何必苦苦執迷
就算一直放不低 但要走嘅始終留不低
既然盟誓已經隨風而逝 
無謂任由過去指揮 不如期待更美好嘅下一位 
係時候放手 係時候放自己走 
係時候放開所有 係時候走向自由
哪個說愛會永久" 

Chicha Restaurant Review

My friend came here before and said it's not bad so I decided to try. It's Peruvian food which I don't think I've tried before. This is my dine out #3 ($30 each). The place was quite small and dark. We were seated at the bar, I normally don't like sitting at bars because it feels like they can hear what we are saying haha. Well, I wasn't on a date so doesn't really matter but still.

The service was good, the lady was very nice and the bar tender was very nice too. I was taking pictures of the food but I think he heard me say it's so yellow and he got his cellphone and turned on the light for me. And he said "you should drink the tap water". I don't like tap water lol!

It was a 4 course menu. Anyways, I ordered aji amarillo chili seafood chowder, tacu tacu, mejillones caliente, ginger and mango pound cake. My friend got quinoa solterto, lomo saltado, bolas de yucca, Peruvian caramel shortbread cookies.

I know it's weird looking at all those names, it's like what is that? The chowder, I'm sure you all know what it is. It was not bad, there were quite a bit of stuff in there, different seafood but didn't take time to see what they were, potatoes and other stuff. It had a little kick to it which I like.

My friend's quinoa was very good. It had a tangy taste to it which was very appetizing.

 

Mejillones caliente, it was mussel in some tomatoe sauce. It was good but I thought another restaurant was better but that restaurant is famous for their mussel so it's a different story. I thought the other one is better because of the flavour. Chicha wasn't as strong as that other restaurant and I guess I prefer something with more flavour? I kind of hope they can put tomatoes rather than red peppers, I'm not really a pepper person but I ate it all. It came with a bread, it was kind of hard on my teeth (crunchy) but it was not bad. Not sure what that black stuff was on it though.

 

Tacu tacu, sorry but I didn't really like this. Maybe I was too full? There were a lot of root veggie in it so it makes me even more full and the black thing was a stuffed thing and it tasted like some Indian food. I didn't know there was cheese and I ate it. I didn't want to spit it out so I swallowed it and drank some water. Other than that I thought it looked pretty.

 

Lomo saltado were fries with steak which I thought was pretty good. It's like comfort food. I should have ordered that, oh well.

 

Balas de yucca were croquettes, my friend said it was stuffed with cheese. Nope, didn't want to try.

 

The pound cake was very good, it said ginger and mango but I didn't really taste ginger. I think there were some mango taste? I just see cream and strawberries. It was very soft and not too sweet. There was a gooseberry and it wasn't as sour as I thought.

 

The shortbread cookies were good too, I tried a bit and it kind of have a lemon taste to it which was really nice. Not overly sweet as well.

 

Overall, not bad, I liked everything except that one. I always make bad choices haha. Yes, I think I would come back again, not a bad place.
