Chinatown Experience

Acne Needle

Red Bean, Mango, and a jello-like dessert with a mango flavoured sorbet ice underneath


We took my visiting sister to a nearby Chinese Mall recently. We stopped into a couple of other stores and because her husband loves gadgets, she notices (outrageous?) things like the items I have pictured above. Yes, a grape peeler, a flashlight ear pick and an acne needle! We had a good laugh. She was fascinated by all the restaurants, some of them open until 4am in the morning. One night we were in a combination Chinese/Vietnamese restaurant and had a few interesting desserts. L LOVES the hot, sweet red bean dessert pictured above. My sister decided to order another one that sounded interesting, also pictured above. It wasn't my favourite, but we all tried some of it.

What fun photos, Christine!

A flashlight earpick, eh? And a GRAPE peeler?!

That coconut jello sounds good. What did you have for lunch?

Japra, we had a couple of bowls of vietnamese PHO noodle in soup with beef slices, a noodle dish, meat and vegetable dish, some spring rolls and I forget what else. It was a group of 8 people, so we ordered at least 6 dishes.

So glad you enjoyed the photos.
