Yuen Long and Yoyo

Thursday 8 Feb 2007...

Yuen Long is the place to go for the most famous Hang Heung wife biscuits, egg rolls, and not forgetting the fantabulous Wingwah restaurant!

This post is once again, meant to be read from the bottom up, that would be in chronological order :)

On the mtr back to kowloon tong... 3 girls with our trusty Ipods!

3 guys with all our buys!!! haha. new year goodies for my family...

On the long long bus ride from Yuen Long to the MTR station. We passed the famous Tsing Ma bridge and went on a highway! haha. how cool is that.

Me being the waitress of the night! haha. I scooped the fruits so well and evenly all of them were singing my praises (hahaha!!) Comes from my korean restaurant experience ok.

The super delicious fruit bowl called "B zai leong fun"- another specialty in Yuen Long.

Hilarious. Ame was the official Ipod holder for the night, and we were singing our hearts out along the streets!!!

After the super delicious yummy meal. Thanks guys for the GREAT recommendation.

Gary trying to mix soy sauce, PIG OIL, and rice :s hahaha. He makes a great comedian.

With the "ma lai gou"

Just hilarious. Melody and Ame with the food and our hightech entertainment system for the night! :) Joseph is so full of wacky ideas man!!

OKAY. This is seriously the most TASTY chicken I've tasted. I know it doesn't look spectacular, but one bite and you cant stop! It's called "five spice chicken" , specialty at Wingwah.

PIG OIL RICE. haha. super delicious. but just kill me if i have to eat this everyday :s

All my buys!! New year goodiesss- Almond cookies, egg rolls, sesame balls, chicken biscuits etc etc. haha. my mummy was quite tickled when i called her excitedly telling her not to buy too much back home cos i'm bringing 'em back from Hongkong!!

Gary. Super amusing genuinely nice local friend.

Yuen Long has this train called the west rail which operates right in the middle of the roads in the city!

Celebrity Sighting at Festival Walk...

"Festival Walk, the shopping mall my university is connected to by an underpass, has been known for its celebrity sightings and secret events. Yesterday as I was heading straight for MNG at the shopping mall to wake myself up after a terribly boring lecture, I saw a bunch of people crowding over the railing, and there were exclaimations of "hai bin gor lei gar!?" (who is that?!) The instinctive part of me smelled celebrity, and I peered down. I couldn't recognise the person initially, so I quickly rushed down the escalator to the stage, and suddenly Yoyo Mung was about 2 metres away from me. She's not that big a celebrity, but I've watched her on Healing Hands and Forensic Heroes and a couple of other Hong Kong variety shows. But what took me away initially was how tall and how skinny and how much prettier she looked in reality." - Taken from Ame's blog =) An account of how Yoyo was spotted haha. Thanks dear.

Anyway, Yoyo was SO nice!! She posed for Ame's cam, and she was RIGHT in front of us!

And guess what... we were so star-struck, we waitied outside this salon she went into after the event, and 10 mins later, she came out with her manager and helper! At that moment, the 2 of us decided to be super thick-skinned, went up to her, and asked for a photo with her!!! And the best thing is that... Yoyo was sooooo nice about it!!!! haha. and so, we got our first photo with a celebrity. Many more to come hopefully!
