Chinatown sightings

It's unusual for my family to go to Chinatown before CNY cuz my parents hate the crowd. Besides there're better bargains on the eve of CNY and on the first day itself (after 12am - close). We went anyway, my mum, sis and I.

So I pretended to be a tourist, snapping my camera at anything I find interesting and below are almost everything that I found interesting cuz there is really nothing interesting considering I've lived here long enough to know how Chinatown is like during this peak period.

I was quite amused when I saw these pork legs.

And this, is just plain disgusting.

The crowd on a Saturday afternoon.

The standard CNY decor.

Mango with pomelo & sago! $3 a serving. It's damn nice =) Well, just don't compare it to the dessert in Taipei.

Carrot cake. $2. It's expensive cuz it's good. Eating with the chilli is a must cuz the chilli is even better than the carrot cake.

And this is where you'll find the mango dessert and carrot cake. Apparently the rice dumpling is nice too, but they won't be serving that cuz there's no time before CNY to make them. So if you wanna try the rice dumplings, wait till CNY is over.
