Yum Cha and Paddys Market


We met up with the family for Yum Cha in Chinatown.

You could always tell if a restaurant serves good or bad food. The unmistakable sign of the long snake queue that marks its reputation and worth of your time.


It is amazing how long people, mainly us Asians, will wait for a good chao! I personally couldn't give a stuff. But lucky for us, auntie has already managed to secure a table prior so we were spared of the agony.

We walked pass the lines of restless but determined patrons feeling absolutely privileged. They gave us dirty looks in return.

After lunch, the family decided to wonder through Paddys Market in search for fresh fruits and veges.

The few times I visited Paddys are usually the eve of flying back to Singapore. Paddys is good for picking up simple souvenirs like kiddie aussie [made in china] T-shirts, nougats, nuts of all sorts, turkish delights, Kangaroos and Koala [again made in china] stuff toys, dried fruits, and those great little Koala clip ons.

This time round, it was just veges and fruits for the week. And those mouth watering sugar coated almond nuts.

Sugar coated almond nut….. arr [whatever sounds Homer makes]…..
