Dian Xiao Er~~~ and Ip Man

Oh lately I have been eating good food... and good holes in the pocket. Just went Dian Xiao Er yesterday(Monday) to try out the food there... heard their roast duck is very delicious and since I am in AMK hub with my friend must as well try... We ordered the normal set dinner which set us back 43 bucks for the 2 of us, which includes 1 bowl of rice, 1 vege, 1 roast duck, 1 soup and 1 pork rib.

The Pics~
The "lian ou" soup and the "si miao" rice. Wth will write in chinese when I get back home lol. The soup is ultra delicious considering that it's a household soup~ The rice... it's plain rice. LOL~
The Mongolia Pork Rib and the Dang Gui Roast Duck. Amazingly, the way they cook both dishes, it's sooooo delicious lor~~ Especially the pork rib, my favourite!!! The meat on the duck drumstick is abit hard though, which is a pity to an otherwise perfect roast duck.
I forgot to take the picture of the Lime salted fish vege, we ate halfway until I realised that and decided to take a photo of the vege(of which half of the portion have already flown into our stomach wahahahaha). What I can say is, the way they cooked it, it has a sour feeling to the vege but not so sour yet the vege is very crunchy, making it taste very nice~~~~
Oh the receipt. Chinese dishes always have some fanciful names.

As usual from all the chinese restaurants, when we foot the bill we got to pay extra money for the peanuts(which they serve before the meal and we ate all of them, either the peanuts is too delicious or we were just deprived of peanuts) AND the wet towel. Cheapo. Total cost was 51++ bucks for 2 person. Not too bad considering that both of us ate really very full as their portion of the food was actually quite big. Oh ya lately I find that I always have lonnnnnnng dinners, and this dinner was no exception. 1 hr 15 min ++ dinner hahaha(and this is already 1 of the fastest dinner I have had recently).

That said, me and my friend decided to watch Ip man, which my friend had already booked the tickets earlier on. Guess what... we booked the ticket at the 2010 timing, but my blur friend made the mistake booking online again(the previous time I went with him and he booked the tickets to watch the movie Wanted, he booked the wrong location, he booked at Cineleisure instead of the main Cathay and we wasted 15 bucks for the 2 tickets cause the pple there said we have to get our tickets at cineleisure and we can't transfer our tickets from 1 location to the other. Wth). He booked 1910 timing de ticket. Luckily this time around they allowed us to change to 2120, if not we wasted another 15 bucks again(how blur can a person be haha).



Since we had aprrox. 1hr to spend before the show starts, we went to the arcade. Bought the e-amusement card wanted to play jubeat but there was this group fo 6 people who were hogging the 2 machines there, in the end never even get the chance to play jubeat TT. Well played other games like Silent Hill, the machine in AMK Hub is spoilt, certain areas of the screen cannot be shot de!!! In the end 1st stage screen 3 die le. Fun game though, I bet I can go quite far if the machine isn't spoilt ==". Then we tried the gundam shooting game, 2nd time try le, but this time I find the gun so bulky cannot shoot well. ZzZzZz. After playing these 2 games we left about 30 mins before the movie start, went back see if can play jubeat anot, but the same group still hogging the machine ==". Then I notice a mother and his son play the drum no tatsujin(tai gu no tatsujin or whatever), they were playing normal difficulty, and the mother pwned the son. Full combo no miss. Who said 40+ yrs old mother can't play games?

Oh anyway, about the movie Ip Man, the show is very very VERY exciting and worth the watch!!! Alot of humour, alot of action, everything was just great. I love how the story goes, love the action, everything. This is probably more of a guy's show though with all the martial arts fighting whatsoever. Definitely one of the best chinese film this year. Another good Chinese film to recommend is Hai2 Jiao3 Qi1 Hao4. Asian films this year are soooo entertaining~
