Shark Fin Group at Chinatown, Melbourne CBD

It was one of my last few days in Melbourne and my friend asked if there is anywhere else that I would like to go. I thought about it, since we are chinese, why not visit the Chinatown and dine in one of their famous typical chinese restaurant for a good dimsum breakfast.

We landed at Shark Fin Group.

 Since it's a typical chinese restaurant, people like to be there early to queue up. Some even called up for reservations. There was a chinese lady trying to cut queue and was harshly stopped by an angmoh.

Angmoh Man: Hey, the queue is there.
Chinese Lady: We've made reservations
Angmoh Man: So did I!

Well did he made reservations? We don't know. I didn't.
The queue was fast moving and very soon, we were seated upstairs.

 While waiting for our turns to be seated :)
 Chicken feet, which most people find it gross.
 We were seated by the window. Had a good view.
 Some prawn dumplings
 perhaps these were sui kows..
 My all-time favourite. Char Siu Pau. BBQ Pork Bun.
 Egg tarts
 Some deep fried BBQ Pork
 Har kow. Prawn Dumpling.

 Chee Cheong Fun.
Deep Fried Prawn-stuff.

Dining in this place made me felt as if I was in a chinese country, all could speak cantonese/mandarin very well. :)

An Encounter with Gelatissimo

It was an eventful Saturday afternoon. I had an 'appointment' with Gelatissimo , Gurney Plaza, Penang. I have always wished to try gelatos there (since Lecka Lecka has gone for good) and it's the ONLY store serving gelatos in Penang (I think). There you go.. I'm going to blog on my 'encounter' with Gelatissimo. First and foremost, consumers need to be educated the difference between ice-cream (Haagen dazs, Baskin Robbins, Walls etc) and Gelatos. Gelatos is italian frozen ice dessert and the method of making it is different from ice cream . Basically, gelatos has less cream than ice cream and it has higher density (the molecules are nearer as compared with ice cream). Most importantly, I think the fat content is less as it has more original food as compared with ice cream (usually with articificial coloring and flavours). The friendly staff posing for camera. The girl in spectacles would always asked me if I would like to try their flavours. To be honest, I trie...

What's the Difference between 'Net' and "Nett"

Since it's part of my group's job to publish daily billings report to the management, our Director (from US) pinpointed that we should fix the spelling of 'nett billings' to 'net billings'. My colleauge was looking at google, trying to understand the 'right' spelling to be used. I finally checked it from Wikipedia , and found that 'nett' is BRITISH and 'net' is AMERICAN. No wonder he's offended to fix it to 'net'! C'mon. I'm in an american MNC, I should be more sensitive towards this.

Vacation nightmare

I was dreaming as if I was in Sentosa. The beach was beautiful and I tried capturing the scenery with my digicam. Sunset was colorful. We were in the closed up area and a few of my friends and I began to pose while getting the staff to take pics for us. We posed quite long for them. Shots don't seem to be good. The scene suddenly changed into a bedroom scene with my sis. There was a great disaster. The enemies had come. With just one blow from his mouth, the bridge was changed into wooden bridge (like Terabithia). They came to destroy by placing the bottle of ketchup (what the??!?) at every spot. We tried to strategize. OOps......... and the dream just died.
