some of my favourite things..

Had a nice lunch today, at Taipan. C and I originally went there for the congee (speaking of which, I just lurve congee served at dim sum places - esp when they come with 'yau chau kuai' - : p got no idea wat they're called in English), as both of us didn't feel too well. But all they had was 'teng chai zhuk'- congee with pork n pig innards (erm..) so we ordered other stuff instead. The food was goooood. Had my all-time fave, custard pau (it is better than those at New Pearl City (another chinese restaurant in Manchester) , though some of my friends will beg to differ), this cheung fun stuffed with scallops n vege (n accompanied by chilli oil : p), and steamed dumplings (ala prawn dumplings) with vegetarian filling. Ahhhh : D
Watched a great movie on Saturday. Pride and Prejudice, starrin Kiera Knightley. It was suitably English.The language was rich - Lizzy and Darcy's sharp verbal exchanges reminded me of Claudio n Beatrice in Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing. All in all, I enjoyed it lots, and the giggles, laughter and anticipation I shared with S. Would be real fun to enjoy it with my girl friends from back home in living room too.Yeah, it's quite a girl's movie. But who knows? Oh, and Lizzy's two younger sisters never failed to irritate me! 'Futt futt dei' is how I would describe them. And Darcy is cute haha...such gentle eyes >.<
