Polo Bao

What I eat for breakfast this morning, a hot POLO BAO... it was delicious. I recommend to those coming over to London to visit this small bakery at Chinatown called Golden Gate Bakery. They have the best (well, me and lun think so) buns! Will recommend further their other buns in future post.
Polo bao or pineapple bun in its name is misleading, as they do not contain any pineapple but instead just look like one and thus its name. Polo-yau as normally eaten in HK diner, with a chunk of cold butter wedge in between a hot polo bao...waa..fatty but delicious.. who would resist...
Talking about polo bao reminds me of a cartoon character

McDull 菠蘿油王子.. yup a cute HK pig character with a polo bao on his head.. so cute.hehe

My belated birthday

Finally after exams that I can get to celebrate my belated birthday.. Thanks to Lun who bought me a 'Sap Sam Yiu' Mahjong birthday cake!! SO CUTE!!! It's from our favourite bakery in chinatown.. They make the best buns and we are their regular customers (they recognize us already...hehe). Went to a 4 hour karaoke session.

Temptation of FREE ice cream

Yesterday was the 30th anniversary of Ben & Jerry's ice cream. I saw the ad on the newspaper a day earlier and can't be happier that they are giving out free cones from 1-5pm on selected outlets all over UK. Of course the nearest one to me is in Leicester Square and although I was supposed to be at home STUDYING. I went out with me housemate and get us a free cone. I got the Cherry Garcia (my Fav) and lun got Chunky Monkey. the queue wasn't that long and it was no time before we got ours. Anyway, free ice cream definitely made my day although it was back to gloomy old UK weather again.

Exams soon

Before I probably not post for another couple more weeks, I watched a TV show called 'Pushing Daisies'. Its about this pie-maker called Ned who have the power to bring dead people back to life with a touch but only for a minute. Any longer than that, another person will have to die in their place. With the second touch, Ned 'permanently' killed the person the second time. So the story goes that he saw his long-lost childhood sweetheart(Chuck) who was murdered, lying in a coffin and brought her back to life. As the minute almost come to an end, he realise he couldn't do it. So Chuck is alive but they cannot touch EVER. except through cling film and stuff like that. Anyhoo, I think its quite a quirky show and i recommend to others..

Banyak Makan!!

I am doing VERY well in UK.. haha.. well that was all before now.. The last month before exams....
