Our day out with Lao Lao

Yesterday, I watched a new ad from Pizza Hut and KFC pop up while watching that 8:40 drama we always watch (me, Grandma and Neoneo). One of them was a new item available at KFC, deep fried crab claw balls. It has the crab’s claw deep fried in batter into a round shape.

Another item was for Pizza Hut, it is a new pasta dish they’re introducing, scollop and pumpkin pasta… mmmmm. I brought this up saying ‘Oooo I want to eat this, they don’t have it back home’ and so my Grandma said we’ll go tomorrow (today now).

Anyway, we got up and Zhang Lao Lao came while I was still in bed. I got up after she left, and then Piang Da Yi came and visited us, and gave us $100 for our New Years gift. I accepted it after hesitating a little. She came and then left.

We got dressed in our coats etc and then went down to the shops as Grandma needed to exchange her money into smaller bits (instead of from the taxi driver as there are fakes around). Anyway, I got my $100 in case we needed to use it.

We got into the taxi and went to KFC. I saw people had already tried the crab as I saw a box with a crab on the table as I walked towards KFC. Anyway, we went in and Neoneo was speaking to the cashier. I got a fish burger (yes, fish at KFC) and my Neoneo got a chicken one (apparently has a New Orleans flavour or something). 1 and 4. Then wanted to get the crab, so ordered it and then switched it to a combo meal that includes it instead. I then wanted one of those egg pastry with taro/purple sweet potato (Dan Ta). Apparently it costs 5.50 for one. Neoneo said you’re meant to get a free Kit Kat but I didn’t get one. Didn’t want to fuss around anyway to didn’t bother.

Found some seats and sat down. I ate a crab first (very eager). Wasn’t surprised by the size despite being so small, since they seem smaller than ads anyway (fair advertising? xD, like the Big Mac) and it was nice. The crab meat was two little though, just batter. I wondered where they got so many crabs claws LOL. They sell, like heaps, and there are only two claws on a crab.

Then got the egg pastry. It looked better in the ads too. It was just purple sweet potato at the bottom and egg at the top. Tasted a little burnt I think. Where is my free Kit Kat?!?!?!?

Then ate my fish burger. It was not hard and there was actual fish meat inside (100%) and I had thought it was something like the crab with just batter, but it tasted really nice (better than Fillet o Fish at Mc Donalds). Grandma ate some fries and Neoneo ate her burger.

Neoneo and Grandma then went to the bathroom (long time…, queue?) and so afterwards we walked along outside onto the Wai Tan. Looked through some shops but didn’t have anything we wanted (didn’t know where to wander anyway). Then went up the Tai Tan steps to get Neoneo candy floss (apparently there was someone selling it last time she went with Da Yi the other day when I got my Macbook Pro).

We walked but to no avail. There was white doves where people can feed but I remembered… Bird flu so kept a bit far away. Saw this really cute Chihuahua in a lady’s arms. Wanted to touch it but it’ll seem really random lol. Went up the steps and blurrr was it cold! (It is near the river, so yeah it’s cold. River was like frozen xD.

Walked and walked and there was no candy floss maker apart from people offering to take photos for money. I wonder how they get to earn money when there are no one around xD, and those that do have their own cameras of some sort (nowadays all phones have cameras anyway). NO CANDY FLOSS and I was freezing! Finally we got down and got into a taxi. First taxi didn’t move when we signaled him so we walked past him and got into another lol.

We got back and I watched Table tennis on TV and Neoneo was making some stick figure and then later made Apple and Kiwifruit soup/syrup/salad.
