Since it was our first day we did not venture far away from the hotel, trough google maps we found Caterking, a dim sum place with a rating of 3.6. We gave it a try. My god. If this is a 3.6 place – I cant wait to try a 4.7 place.
They had lots of different dim sum’s, and you got a form to fill out with what and how much you wanted. We tried a lot different, but without question, no doubt, the baked bbq pork bun was the winner. It was SO go – and we had a few to many.
You can just keep ordering as you see fit, no need to go bananas and fill up the entire table at once. You will also get free pot of tea with all meals – this seem to be the standard with resturants and for dim sum in special.
We also found a huge music store right next to th hotel. They had everything from kazoo’s to trombones and whatever they call trekkspill in english ? Probably devil-flutes or something.
Lots of effects and electronics related to music. There was also an extesive second hand department for bass and guitars.
I had heard about these egg puffs on youtube before I traveled. And thinking they pretty much are waffels, they cant be that different then the ones we have at home. But they where. And they where very good. Very filling, even without addition of butter and sugar n stuff.
We found a beer joint, that had lots of local beer on tap. But as it usualy is with Asia, it is a bit watered down and not all there compared to european or us beers.
We did a taster thing and had 5 different beers from tap. There was actually not one of them that we really wanted one more of. We also tried a pint of the milky mango tingy – that had a nice taste to start but then came an aftertaste from the outskirts of hell.
Also tried a local IPA in bottle and a 3% local cider – both of them where nice. So for once the bottled beer was better than the one on tap, but all is not lost – there are more bars to be found. And I have also noted down a few of the breweries that has a small shop attached.
The bar itself was very nice, open to the street and a nice place to sit peoplewatching and getting out of the rain. It looked like it served mostly expats, and the menu was eu/us to,
All in all.. we managed to stay awake and kinda beat the jetlag. The night brought me 12 hours sleep – nonstop. 🙂
