Winter Warmers

Old Trafford- winter, day before ManUtd vs Everton:
light-based grass warmers employed to keep the turf sufficiently lighted and warm. No wonder ticket prices have been majestically soaring yearly!


A tribute to our combative captain, Gary Neville

Dim Sum

Forget about Tai-Wu: nothing is 'tai' about their serving anyway. I would strongly recommend one to pop over to Pearl City Restaurant in Chinatown. More generous portions, smaller setting with friendlier staff (also apparently one of the fellas speaks Hokkien), and its bowls are not laced with soap water*

Pictures are of servings in Pearl City:

steamed tripe in ginger and spring onion


deep-fried custard balls



.... and not forgetting, the men themselves!

Christmas market with a gigantic santa acting as the 'prosperity figure' for traders.



trinklets aplenty!




German-styled sizzling bratwurst with matchingly-attired staff
*p/s: many thanks to beetee for the kindmost hospitality:P
however, i still think that Tai Wu definitely caused my tummy-ache!
