A taste of home!

Yeap! What is it??

Easyway's PMT! Pearl Milk Tea..

Yippie!

Glasgow's Easyway Menu
[Notice the PMT is double the cost of Brunei's!]

Well, before that, lunch in a Chinese restaurant called SeeWoo Restaurant before seriously exploring See Woo. See Woo is describes themselves as the largest superstore in Glasgow. What's even better? It sells oriental products/food. GOOoodd.. Well, we actually wanted to go there last week, however, we were sort of lost halfway and decided to turn back. Not today thou'. Walking time is around 20 -25 mins from Buchanan SPT Station. The place is as big as Brunei's Jaya Hypermart. Lots of oriental products (But no ba gua that I was hoping to buy =( ). However, I find that the prices there a wee bit higher compared to Chung Ying's [Another store selling oriental products, which is only maybe 10 mins walk from Buchanan]. In terms of stores selling oriental stuff, Glasgow doesn't fare that bad actually. As far as I know there are 4 of these kinds here. Only problem is, they are located quite a distance away.

This was what I had.
To be exact:

-Vegetarian soup for starter
- Roast Duck, BBQ Pork and Crispy Belly Pork


A glimpse of the inside

So-called 'House Special Cheong Fun

The main dish

Co-incidently my date had the same dish as me as well.
Wow, what chemistry huh? Rare find ^^

My verdict of the place:
- Large large Chinese restaurant. Maybe the largest in Glasgow. There's even a stage and VIP rooms
- Not-very-friendly waitresses. Damn they should learn how to smile =)
-Slow service.
- My so-called 'House Special' cheong fun, came after the main dish arrived, which was around 20 mins after we ordered. And what's inside the 'House Special' cheong fun? Abalone? Man man deng. NOTHING!! It was just plain cheong fun. Ni nao hia. Took so long, n no meat. I think they regard the 2 sauces(Plum n peanut sauce!) that accompanied the dish to be the uniqueness of that dish. MY GAWD!
- The vegetable soup should be renamed Ajinomoto soup.
- The main dish, was eww.. Super oily. I was literally forcing em in. I was given lots of duck skin, lil meat. The char siew was hard, not very nice. The crispy pork belly, haha. I thought it was smth special. Yenlai, its what we call Sau Rou back home. Smth that I do not enjoy eating, whether here or back home.
- Dessert? After finishing the main meal, we decided to ask for the dessert. You know what the waitress answered? Dessert available only for night dining. WAT! The brochure clearly says 'LUNCH'. Walao.. Anyways we were too full to continue eating anything at that instance, thus, not much of a big deal.
- Oh, the fried rice did not taste like fried rice at all. My lousy cooking skills can produce something miles better. It was just like eating brown coloured boiled rice. LOL
- The chinese tea sucked too. For me it tasted like tea dipped with a mothball! HAHHAHA

Oh, I went to the so-called CNY celebrations in Kelvingrove museum, which I mentioned in a previous post. LOL. Seriously disappointed la. There were no lion dances or whatever. Just 2 stalls! Face painting + calligraphy stall. Another stall just consisted of a table with lion-dance equipment. Heh.. Oh well..

And for bball fans.. Watch this..

F*king insane! video

There are seriously a few out-of-this-world dunks already this season. This one's one of the best so far. How often do you see Jermaine O'Neal floored like that? OMG.. Tyrus's definitely a BEAST.
