During our 2 hr delay in Marco Polo Airport, Aly & I were discussing on what to eat in London.
And from that moment on, all I can think of is lobster yee mee..... yuuuummmmm...
Lobster Yee Mee
Spicy deep fried eel. Surprisingly, Miss Sim can handle the spiciness...
Well because of the extreme delay, Pei Hua did managed to have lobster yee mee with us and then took the earliest train back to Manchester the next day.
This time, I managed to do a lot of more of the 'touristy' stuff. And within a week, I am in love with London!!! There are so much to do here!
The first few days I stayed at Miss Sim's apartment and it was warm and cosy. She even switches on the heater in the toilet. No wonder my flat is an igloo to her la... =P
Hiro made a new friend, Lumpy!
In this London trip, I ate a lot of Japanese food!!
Ebi tempura don in Misato~ The food quality and price is fairly good. However, the floor was very slippery =(
Tori karage rice =) yuummmm
Ebi tempura teishoku えびてんぷら定食 from Sakura. They have very good lunch set. A bit pricy for dinner.
Roast duck from Four Season and I ate it all by myself. Oink oink. I didn't take rice!! It's part of the no-carb diet!!! I highly recommend the one in Bayswater. It's less busy and friendlier.
Hoo, Sim & I decided to try out Ed's Diner (at Soho). A word of caution, please sit-in and share the milk shake. Take-away milk shakes are reallllly small! The burger was not bad and we even wasted 20p for a song in the jukebox. I thought it is only fair to pick a song that everyone in the diner can relate to, YMCA by Village People! Unfortunately, Chica (gay latino boy) kept wiping our table (the angmou-version of throwing the bill onto the table). Thus we got the cue and left.
BLT Chicken burger.
And what's with leather jacket and Old Compton St??!!! hmmmm...
I watched two musical this time; Wicked and Les Miserable.
Hiro in the Wicked Theatre. Wicked was extremely funny and entertaining. And thanks to Aly, we got cheap tickets £22 for students and it was stall seats!! The untold story of the witches of Oz is brilliant and somehow I don't think believe in Dorothy anymore!! haha
Les Miserable was very classic and touching story. IMO, the vocals were better in Les Mis but the story is very serious plot. So I think both musicals were very good and I highly recommend it!
Note to self, don't watch musical if you are staying in the Malaysian Hall. I barely made in back due to the curfew time!
Besides eating (which was a big part of London), I shopped a storm too!
The 1st shop that I went into was Abercrombie & Fitch. Man, that shop is definitely the most himbotic place ever.. All the salesperson are hot and pretty. The muscular black dude at the entrance was soooo ripped that it looks like a rubber suit!!! And everything in there was soo expensive.
I bought a new pair of Tiger, lime green Crocs, yoga mat, leather jacket, a few clothings from UniQlo. And thanks to my shopping spree, I can only afford £2 coffee for the rest of the month for lunch. =(
I love my black Tiger~ so sexy!!
The great thing about traveling alone with an iphone is GoogleMap.
I was never lost...unless of course when I am out of battery..
Antique shop in Portobello Market
Grass car?!
Samantha, you ARE famous! But you are probably not as famous as Hiro!!
Hiro at the Tower Bridge (Not LONDON Bridge....)
Hiro at the Monument (to commemorate the Great Fire of London). This was where 2 angmou girls came over and asked if they can take a picture with me and Hiro!!!
The Gherkin (the penis-looking building quote from Miss Hoo).
St Paul's Cathedral. £10 admission = siao.
Hiro and sakura tree in front of St Paul.
I love this shot!!
Pillow fight in front of St Paul. I could have joined in the fun but I didn't think Hiro would have enjoyed it.
Of all the galleries that I went to, I personally like Tate Britain the most and unfortunately, I spend the least time there.
The following are art pieces which I took in Tate Modern, that caught my attention.
Suggestive-nya~
I like this too!! Very industrial revolution!
1 week is definitely not enough. I will be back in July!!!
London~~
Special thanks to Hoo & Sim for accommodating me!! Already missing the late night-> early morning chats!! Come up to Kampung E often!!! I promise I will buy the portable heater!!
