But as time passed, we didn't catch any torrential rain and so I went out with the parents for brekkie and recee. The streets were deserted and moat shops were closed with the exception of an enterprising few. We first headed to a nearby supermarket to browse and stock up.
I love supermarkets and always want to buy new stuff I see. This time, I saw a chilled packet of instant Ajisen Ramen and ramen versions of 出前一丁 (Chu Qian Yi Ding) . I HAD to buy them.
After we happily paid for the purchases, we went off for brekkie at a 24hr can teng that had yummy looking soya bean milk with 油条 (fried dough fritters) DJ and YK were both too happy nua-ing back at the apartment so we agreed to buy food back for them.

| The 油条 was crispy, chewy and all together yummy |
The breakfast highlight for me was definitely the crispy 油条(fried dough fritter) dipped in the hot soya bean milk. The combination of sweet and salty was deeply satisfying. *Heart* I ate till I was super stuffed, so I decided to take a walk around while the parents brought food back for the sisters.
This was Mongkok that day.
You tell me can go where? Of cos go...
Hahaha... We first visited Jenny Bakery and bought so many tins of biscuits for the friends and family that we had to return to the apartment to put them down. Daddy took the chance to stay in while we went back out to check if Uniqlo was open. At the train station...
LOL.
Uniqlo wasn't open... As well as almost every shop at Harbourcity...
Since we were stuck at Harborcity, we thought we would visit the area around ave of stars to experience the wind. So we geared up!
As we approached the area near the harbour, the wind was really strong! I was really amazed by the strength of each gust of wind blasting past us right in front of this traffic junction towards the bay front. Check out the trees in the pic.
And some guy suddenly sprinted past barefoot and in nothing but a sexy pair of shorts. Like Woooot?!
I was so surprised that I only managed to snap his back view. Oh well... We distracted ourselves by taking pictures of us being blasted by the wind.
I am not the focus of this photo, even though I lost my balance after a strong blast. The highlight of this photo is the umbrella of the man behind me. Just check out the force of the wind!! (and the strength of his umbrella)
Yenkeng's hoodie plastered on her face while a stranger does Michael Jackson's Earth Song at the side.
Mummy being cute the way she is. Mummy's raincoat was the filmsy type. When the wind blew, she just looked like a mini baymax. ROFL.
Check out the sky.. Super dark and stormy
The wind was not blowing continuously but came in great gusts. People were standing around waiting for the gusts. Apparently gust waiting made for great dates, haha couples were having fun in couple rain gear. As a side note, Da jie's poncho's really nice. Lol.
We had to get going since it was getting late and we had to pack dinner for daddy who was happily louging in the apartment. So off we went, and I thought they looked like some lord of the gamblers or cool anime characters walking down this stretch, amidst the broken brollies. ROFL.
We bought some dinner and crowded back into the small apartment to eat. That was a pretty yummy and fun dinner. YK chose this resturant with really cheap fishball noodles. This was Goood. Soft kway teow, lots of fishballs/cakes, good soup with little msg.
This was from Aberdeen Fishball Noodle. It's pork knuckle noodle and I can't really recall how it tasted.
The winner of the meal was actually this yummy chicken rice from Aberdeen Fishball Noodles. Ok, chicken rice from a fishball noodle shop?? You may raise your eyebrow, but you just got to try it lol. Everything was well executed. The chicken was tender, rice fragrant with a gingerish zest and heck, even the egg was naise.
And with happy and contented bellies, we went on into lala landddd!
