we're londONErs!
the last time i was in london was after my 'A' levels
on a family trip round europe.
what i seriously missed out that time,
was the wonderful, melt-in-your-mouth and totally irresistable
roast duck and crispy pork (sio bah).
strange as it may sound, london has the best duck in the world!
oh, i'm still drooling just thinking of it.
my colleagues brought me to this place in bayswater,
a quaint chinese restaurant named gold mine
and boy oh boy, what treasures i tasted!
the soup was just perfect for a chilly london afternoon,
the vegs were not-too-oily, not-too-salty,
the chilli was the perfect accompaniment to the meal,
and of course, the roast duck and crispy pork were TO DIE FOR!
*swoon*
wendy and i took the train to knightsbridge after lunch,
to try walk off the heavy meal.
we did a bit of window shopping,
ate krispy kremes,
and spent a lot of looking at wealthy arabic women buying
all sorts of hideously expensive bling bling in harrods.
i was craving for some maccas
so "da bao-ed" some back to the hotel for a late dinner.
ang moh countries do the best quarter pounders with cheese!
mmmmm......
we headed out bright and early the next morning
for a touristy fix.
energized by yummy egg and bacon croissants from the cafe next to our hotel,
we hopped onto our open-top bus
and began our day's journey with "the big bus company".
i met quite a number of people along the way!
yeah, i was really touched =P
st paul's, big ben, london eye, tower bridge,
westminister abbey, my friend blair's gates
a cruise down the river thames,
topped off with a long stroll down oxford street.
we were all over london
and i can't wait to go back!
