Noticed that we trained Natsumi "Lying Dice" and Anthony started singing?


27 May

Farewell Natsumi...  She is heading South for Seattle!

Well, this is supposed to be the "Lee's BBQ Day" so we wend to Cosco for MEAT.  As I'm so used to the Law's BBQ, I just couldn't stop from picking up steak, chicken, pork chops, lamp rack and sausages!  However, started to feel sick and I thought an hour sleep will heal!  But it turned worst and I even had a fever!  I guess it's due to lack of sleep and continous eating!

Nevertheless, I still ate a 10oz steak, two chicken thighs, one lamp chop and a few this and that!!! Hahaha!!!  Now, my stomach is as big as 2 months ago after the ramen @ Tokyo! 


28 May

After 21 years, Metrotown has been renovated several times and the current face is:

Being sick doesn't mean no food!  Took a cinnamon bun @ Metrotown for afternoon snack!

 Dinner @ Fortune Garden: Don't go unless you want pork fat or being asked.


29 May

What's for breakfast?  Churches' Fried Chicken!  Yumm!!!

After light sushi @ a small fish market @ Granville & 71st, we cruise to Robson for a ride and took these snaps:

Wondered if they really took the double-deckers from London!

Then, Liz took us to this nice Tea House called Shaktea @ Main & 21st!

A bit $$$ for a cup of tea but we really enjoy the atmosphere!  So, not more Starbucks or bubble-tea!!!

I'm sure Sammi and Manyi will enjoy the tea while Law will hyper over the ORANGE tea pot and washroom!

Yuki, when did you started to make tea?

Finally, dinner @ sister-in-law's new apartment with BBQ that I couldn't have over the weekend:
