Dear Pipsqueaks,
You can't imagine how many things need to be done for the new years in my house. By the time le sister and I had walked out for our first meal (which was about 11ish), my parents were on their way back home already. They were hands full with groceries and a whole bunch of stuff. And you guessed it, mama had sent out a list earlier on the things she wanted us to bring home on our outing. Our run-in was another chance for her to remind us all the things that still need to be done...GREAT. All while we were still hungry.
But luckily we ran into them. We found out that our top two choices for brunch were not open. Go figures, but okay. At least we didn't waste time walking all the way over there to find out. We re-routed to the market and had dumplings there instead. Surprisingly delicious and totally something to try, this shop is on the 2nd floor of the Ren-ai wet market. They have 4 kinds of dumplings and all made onsite. Don't mind the coloring - it's natural coloring from the ingredients. Worth the try if you're in the area.
We spent the next couple of hours hunting down the list of items, then a coffee break at Cattown. A very tiny shop, but their drinks are packed with a punch. You have to try their honey coffee - superb! They don't have a large menu, which I suppose indicates that they have a focus on what they do best. So you can't go wrong with what you order.
Now home getting ready for dinner - hot pot and family time.
Happy New Year's Eve, peeps!
PS. From 11am-5:30pm, I clocked in at 9400 steps. That's enough walking for a day!
PPS. Bought so many pens for my journal...HAPPY GIRL! =)

(San Bao - a combo of all their dumplings!)
(I know it's not a place my friends could see me eat in, but I do, okay?!)
