15th day of April


It continues to rain in Perth today, I'm ♥ing it.
♥ waking up to the rhythm of raindrops falling on earth outside my window.
♥ that something in the moisture makes me feel much relaxed like after taking a long shower.
♥ the soothing rain which makes my bed feel extra snuggly and warm.
♥ feeling sleepy on a cool rainy night.


  
Lunch date with mum and dad at Dim Sum Cafe in Northbridge.

Our family does not know how enjoy dim sum like it should be enjoyed. What other people spend an afternoon in their favourite Chinese restaurant, slowly sipping tea and feasting on different assortment of dim sum delicacies, our family's best record is within 1 hour eat and go. You see, we like to have a table full of food. Usually whatever dish (we want) not found in the first portable trolley is ordered immediately. As food make their way to our table, we plow through (with modern table etiquette) every basket of goodies (and this is usually when we make second orders depending on that day's hunger level). At the end of it all we drink tea as if to say that's our dessert. Oh, another thing about my family and dim sum, we aren't at all fascinated with dang tarts or cakes or puddings on the dessert menu.

Pros of our dim sum style: no awkward table moments when 5 people have to share 4 siu mais. Every one has something to eat from at all times.

Cons of our dim sum style: Ordering when you are hungry is terrible idea. Our bills are usually unnecessarily high because there're often left overs no one wants to eat or take home. One time the bill came to $130 (for 5 ppl) yet no one understood why.


I always get this apple and carrot flavour of Calpis or Assam Milk Tea everytime I visit Northbridge.
These are two of my most favourite drinks!
