sleepless dimsim (yum cha) day...

Havent been sleeping much man.. Last nite went to clayton station to pick Lim up n went to star east for dinner b4 goin to rae's for poker.. i reached rae's at abt 11.30pm with jin hui n james a lil later.. then the poker tournament... haha... i was the noob there, so i shudn't say tournament... neway, it started at abt 12.... My hand wasn't good for the first game... ended up, me buying in once... n i didn't even make it to top 5... there was 10 players... me, rae, sam, felin, suet li, jin hui, james, maggie, sze ting n lim... so it was tat bad.. making me lost $4 in the first game.. then the second wan was rather good... still i finished at fourth... another $2 n finally $6 in the third game... ended up abt 6.30am.... then i reached home at abt 6.45 n went straight to bed... The best thing i learnt from this poker session was Maggie's description... wait... first of all Lim was at crowns b4 i picked him up, he lost a few hundreds there again.. today.. but his hand was extremely good at rae's... the problem is at rae's, it was a $2 hand... So Maggie (the malaysian wannabe from hongkong... she say she is from shuebang (subang)).... Maggie said a famous chinese proverb abt Lim, "Yheng Jau Yheng Lap Tong, She Jao She Kan Chong" meaning winning a small bet and losing the bigger wan... BUt neways, her version was : win "jao" win lolly, lose "jao" lose factory... haha..

chris woke me up at 12.15pm as we're suppose to go 4 yum cha(hk version) at boxhill.. but we changed to the New Royal Garden Restaurant at Blackburn Rd. instead... Haha... My first dimsim in Australia.. The plan was supposed to be last week but i slept all the way thru the afternun last saturday since i was singing k the day b4....

newayss... the dimsim session... wasn't of tat great... i stilll prefer the malaysian touched to it... My first order was the prawn chee cheong fun..














The chee cheong fun wasn't tat great... without the belacan. which i didn't dare to ask for... haha... imagine if they dun have.. i wud have looked like an idiot... The soy sauce tasted different as well... hehe... but the prawn was quite good..













The normal stuffs came on just like the har kow... siu mai... sharksfin mai.. this har kow... my hometown 1 at connaught still better by far lar... ask my pattern pattern bros, u will noe how good it is... But one special thing tat the restaurant here has, is the har kow wong... which means king of har kow... which is abt three times the size of the normal wan... n have more prawns...













Sorry... i took a bite b4 taking this pic.. lol.. to c if its worth taking a pic... as u can c here now... its not bad lar.. it taste like wut? taste like a bigger har kow lor.... lol... 3 pieces of this cost $7.50... haha... damn blardy expensive... the best design goes to the salad prawn...













It's like a pai tee from the 'The Chicken Rice Shop' in msia.. the bottom was of cuz the fried pancake... n the middle part was some cold fruits.. with the prawn on top tat has mayonnaise.. i dunno y most of the pix i took was all prawn dimsims... mayB we ordered mostly with prawns... as jian aun doesn't eat pork.. he say pigs r cute animals... Right opposite the restaurant... was this shop with a funny name tat caught my attention... as i m in mechatronics monash... my unit code all starts with 'gse' which represents the mechatronic faculty... n since the syllabus is changing alredi... the new batch are called 'trc'... thus i saw this shop... which has the shortform of trc... n guess wut it write? i m not discriminating or anything... i juz find it funny lor..
