Quick visit to Chinatown

I suddenly felt like having Yum Cha for lunch today. Maybe because the Mid-Autumn Festival is around the corner. Merryn and Dennis were out but we met up just in time for a delicious meal.

As we drove into Chinatown we saw lots of lanterns hanging over the streets. Our clever Oliver said "Wow this looks like China!"



There are several Yum Cha places in Chinatown of course but we like this place we were introduced to by our friends.  We often have trouble communicating with the restaurant staff but I love the food they serve so we keep going back to this particular restaurant.

It was past lunch rush hour so it wasn't too crowded. We often order everything at once but today we took a different approach and ordered as we ate.





Somehow we ended up ordering way more than we needed but the dumplings were too good to be left on the plates.



After lunch we headed out to the MRT station and we saw some more of these pretty lanterns.











Oliver is asking if we can make some lanterns. I guess it will be our weekend project :)
