<p>Aly and I shared this &#8230;. nice big one &#8230; with lots of chilli sauce and mustard <img src='http://lightspeedzone.net/blog/smilies/yahoo_tongue.gif' alt='&#58;&#80;' class='wp-smiley' width='18' height='18' title='&#58;&#80;' /></p>
<p><img src="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/226/480161650_c8140d93e4.jpg?v=0" alt="" /></p>
<p>The bread was really soft and I loved the chewy skin of the sausage <img src='http://lightspeedzone.net/blog/smilies/yahoo_smiley.gif' alt='&#58;&#41;' class='wp-smiley' width='18' height='18' title='&#58;&#41;' /></p>

<p>The stand has got lots of newspaper cutouts &#8230; and the boss is one interesting character &#8230;<br />
Don&#8217;t be mistaken  as he&#8217;s not as fierce as he looks &#8230; rather friendly in fact <img src='http://lightspeedzone.net/blog/smilies/yahoo_wink.gif' alt='&#59;&#41;' class='wp-smiley' width='18' height='18' title='&#59;&#41;' /></p>

All the crazy buggers flocked to Marina/ECP area to watch fireworks&#8230;</p>
<p>What&#8217;s the deal about fireworks? Haven&#8217;t these fellas seen them before?</p>
<p>TKL said it was romantic to watch with your loved one&#8230;. Er&#8230;.<img src='http://lightspeedzone.net/blog/smilies/yahoo_worried.gif' alt='&#58;&#45;&#83;' class='wp-smiley' width='18' height='18' title='&#58;&#45;&#83;' /></p>
<p>Thank goodness Aly doesn&#8217;t see things the same as him <img src='http://lightspeedzone.net/blog/smilies/yahoo_tongue.gif' alt='&#58;&#80;' class='wp-smiley' width='18' height='18' title='&#58;&#80;' /> but the same as me <img src='http://lightspeedzone.net/blog/smilies/yahoo_bigsmile.gif' alt='&#58;&#68;' class='wp-smiley' width='18' height='18' title='&#58;&#68;' /></p>
<p>So while everyone was stuck in the jams (Pat, how was it like caught in the jam? <img src='http://lightspeedzone.net/blog/smilies/yahoo_eyebrow.gif' alt='&#47;&#58;&#41;' class='wp-smiley' width='18' height='18' title='&#47;&#58;&#41;' /><img src='http://lightspeedzone.net/blog/smilies/yahoo_laughloud.gif' alt='&#58;&#41;&#41;' class='wp-smiley' width='18' height='18' title='&#58;&#41;&#41;' /> ) and fighting with the rest to get a nice place to see the fireworks , Aly and I were walking around Chinatown and doing some shopping, bought some oolong tea leaves and some Hong Kong Shrimp noodles&#8230;. <img src='http://lightspeedzone.net/blog/smilies/yahoo_wink.gif' alt='&#59;&#41;' class='wp-smiley' width='18' height='18' title='&#59;&#41;' /><br />
<img src="http://www.lightspeedzone.net/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&amp;g2_itemId=1319&amp;g2_serialNumber=1" alt="" /></p>
<p>Time to eat dinner, check this out! It&#8217;s called LOH MEI, decided to give it a try since I haven&#8217;t tasted or seen anything like this before and the ingredients looked pretty tempting to me <img src='http://lightspeedzone.net/blog/smilies/yahoo_tongue.gif' alt='&#58;&#80;' class='wp-smiley' width='18' height='18' title='&#58;&#80;' /></p>
<p><img src="http://www.lightspeedzone.net/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&amp;g2_itemId=1321&amp;g2_serialNumber=1" alt="" /></p>
<p>It basically consists of the mid joint of the chicken wing, cuttlefish, kang kong, pig skin, pig intestines, pig stomach, tau pok and kong bah &#8230;. sounds good? <img src='http://lightspeedzone.net/blog/smilies/yahoo_drool.gif' alt='&#61;&#80;&#126;' class='wp-smiley' width='18' height='18' title='&#61;&#80;&#126;' /></p>
<p>All these ingredients are served in this soupy base with this thing we cantonese call &#8220;Fu Yu&#8221; which is basically fermented bean curd if I&#8217;m not wrong.</p>
<p>Anyway it tasted pretty good!!! <img src='http://lightspeedzone.net/blog/smilies/yahoo_tongue.gif' alt='&#58;&#80;' class='wp-smiley' width='18' height='18' title='&#58;&#80;' /> Something new as well&#8230;.</p>
<p>Mao Rating: <img src='http://lightspeedzone.net/blog/smilies/yahoo_star.gif' alt='&#40;&#42;&#41;' class='wp-smiley' width='18' height='18' title='&#40;&#42;&#41;' /><img src='http://lightspeedzone.net/blog/smilies/yahoo_star.gif' alt='&#40;&#42;&#41;' class='wp-smiley' width='18' height='18' title='&#40;&#42;&#41;' /><img src='http://lightspeedzone.net/blog/smilies/yahoo_star.gif' alt='&#40;&#42;&#41;' class='wp-smiley' width='18' height='18' title='&#40;&#42;&#41;' /></p>
<p>When I went back, I told my mum about this dish and she said I was suaku!!! She&#8217;s been eating this stuff for years! She then told me that the one at the hawker at Smith Street (on top of the wet market) tasted lots better and wasn&#8217;t so bland&#8230;. Wah&#8230; must go try out one day <img src='http://lightspeedzone.net/blog/smilies/yahoo_bigsmile.gif' alt='&#58;&#68;' class='wp-smiley' width='18' height='18' title='&#58;&#68;' /></p>
<p>As for Aly, well, she had the famous yong tau foo there for dinner, but not as interesting as mine ya? <img src='http://lightspeedzone.net/blog/smilies/yahoo_tongue.gif' alt='&#58;&#80;' class='wp-smiley' width='18' height='18' title='&#58;&#80;' /></p>
<p>Oh &#8230; not forgetting &#8230; HAPPY NATIONAL DAY &lt;<img src='http://lightspeedzone.net/blog/smilies/yahoo_tongue.gif' alt='&#58;&#45;&#80;' class='wp-smiley' width='18' height='18' title='&#58;&#45;&#80;' /></p>

We just settled for the set dinner for 4 as we didn&#8217;t want to think too much&#8230;</p>

Since 1929!!!</p>
<p><img src="http://www.lightspeedzone.net/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&amp;g2_itemId=1053&amp;g2_serialNumber=1" alt="" /><br />
Peking Duck!!! Crispy skin with sweet sauce &#8230;. yum yum&#8230; <img src='http://lightspeedzone.net/blog/smilies/yahoo_drool.gif' alt='&#61;&#80;&#126;' class='wp-smiley' width='18' height='18' title='&#61;&#80;&#126;' /></p>
<p><img src="http://www.lightspeedzone.net/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&amp;g2_itemId=1055&amp;g2_serialNumber=1" alt="" /><br />
????? Sauteed Mustard with Mushroom</p>
<p><img src="http://www.lightspeedzone.net/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&amp;g2_itemId=1057&amp;g2_serialNumber=1" alt="" /><br />
???? Deep Fried Fish Fillet with Sweet &amp; Sour Sauce</p>
<p><img src="http://www.lightspeedzone.net/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&amp;g2_itemId=1059&amp;g2_serialNumber=1" alt="" /><br />
????? Traditional Style Pan Fried Tiger Prawns (such alot&#8230; only 4pcs!!! 1 prawn for each of us&#8230; geez!!!</p>
<p><img src="http://www.lightspeedzone.net/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&amp;g2_itemId=1061&amp;g2_serialNumber=1" alt="" /><br />
?????? Steamed Chicken with Ham &amp; Kai-Lan</p>
<p>All in all, I think the food was okay only, if not for the Peking duck, I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;ll go back anymore &#8230; The bill came up to about $128 which also included the rice and the soup of the day &#8230; I think I still prefer the food at Soup restaurant &#8230;<br />
Can&#8217;t really complain I guess&#8230;Was it &#8216;cos we took the cheapo set dinner? :&#8221;&gt;<br />
The service here was pretty good though =D&gt;</p>
