And fortunate to view the feeding of the koi fishes at 6th storey...
At evening, went over to the Chou Bei Japanese restaurant to have dinner... expensive but nice..... let the pictures do the talking...
... cod fish in teriyaki sauce... NICE!!!!!!!!!!!!
Deep-fried pork cutlet... Not bad!!!!
... salmon belly... a bit oily but so smooooth....
... mixed tempura... ok, quite nice... batter is well done though, crispy and not too thin nor thick...
... asparagus wrapped with bacon... This is solid, especially when eaten hot!!!!...
... toast rice cake... (can't help but to say something: this simple food actually taste extremely good!!! )
... Udon... very chewy...
... barbecue squid... a bit tough....
and drank a cup of "fruity" sake-wine... nice.... fragrant and smooth...
Next day went over to CSC, and walked over to OG PP... On the way back, bought the Oil-Chicken noodles (油鸡面), and man, it is GOOD!!!!!! The noodles are still springy after being wrapped and couped up for so long... sauce is sweet and savoury enough... chicken is TENDER... and I really mean tender, not soggy...
... and while at OG PP, bought this Si-Chuan snack at 1 of the stall in People's Park Centre, inside got soy-braised pork pieces and cucumber slices, quite nice... and bought some roasted chestnuts, very very very TASTY!!!!
Today morning went out to try the supposedly famous dim-sum just outside the hotel... and definitely live up to its reputation!
Siew-mai (烧卖): 1 of the 2 dim-sum to try if a stall/restaurant is good or not.
Verdict: surprisingly way above average, did not leave my stomach a "oily" (油腻)after finishing all 4 pieces!
Har-Kow (虾饺): The other of the 2 dim-sums to try.
Verdict: VERY GOOD!!!! Prawn is succulent (restaurant standard, but don't eat too much), skin is thin enough but will not break upon handling with chopsticks, even though it is surprisingly not-oily!!! (but this means the skin is not as "chewable" - as it crumbles a bit more easier in the mouth...)
Prawn-rice roll (鲜虾肠粉): freshly made chee-cheung-fun (猪肠粉) with prawns/shrimps inside, poured on them are some light soy-sauce, sesame-seed oil, and cooked oil...
Verdict: GOOD!!!
Shanghai Small Steam Dumplings (上海小笼包): Surprise find, its not a traditional Canton dim-sum, but...
Verdict: Hahahahaha... Beyond expectation!!!! Bite off a teeny bit of the skin to drink most of the soup-meat-juice inside, thought that was majority of the meat-juice inside, put the shredded ginger ( soaked in vinegar) and put inside the mouth when suddenly... more meat-juice starts to ooze out from the fillings!!! Incredible! They manage to pack the juice even inside the meat fillings!!!! Tried the other 2 pieces ad yes, it is true, amazing. Only not so good would be the bottom part, the skin is a bit too soggy...
After breakfast, went to have a stroll along the coastal walk...
...sit down at the beach... and relax...
Checked out of hotel after that... Quite a nice weekend...
