really fast, xmas is over...new year coming on the way, funny when i just got use to writting 2006 as a date n now i have to change to 2007..time fly..anyay, has been off for few days, only come back to work today, unit is still free..so, just to tellwhat have i done for the past few ays...nothing much realy, on 23rd i we went to oriental city, 24th we went to down town just to look around, 25th nothing much, no transport, went to carol place for lunch..thats all..

anyway, this is about the oriental city, near Colindale station, quite far actually, at zone 4..heard about t alot, was told that there is a big super market that sell all the asian food.and i wante to buy some century egg, so decided to go there..took us about one hour to get there..and we were imagining all the wonderful thing that we can do there:>
so, as we reached the station, we went out

and this is what we saw.......

empty, except houses ..and nobody..I dont know, maybe in my mind i was expecting to see all the asian people walking around( like china town..) haha..only when we aske dthe information counter:> we have to walk further down the road for 10 minutes..

so, we walked n walked..atlast..we saw the building..1st impression, big, but rather empty, is a weekend , but dint see lots of people..


after we enter the building, there are few shops here n there, and i feel like i was backed home, is like some old shopping mall that was no longer popular but is still open..haha..


and then we saw tis big food court!!selling all the asian food, from chicken rice, to roti prata..but mostly are thai shop, after scanning around, i decided to have tis thai fried rice noodle..got lots of choice, and the food seems very nice..and after u place the order, they will give u a number, then u will sit round like u are waiting to ssee doctor in the polyclinic, your number will appear on the panel n u go collect ur food..fun:> if u din appear for sometimes they will ring the table bell manually till u appear..haha, maybe they should take name nxt time..:" miss wong yh, please coem to counter 4 please.." hahaaa

thats my sea food with rice noodle n mango juice, noodle GBP6.50, mango juice GBP3

Then my sis order some funny noodle with egg plant, ok only la:> GBP5.50

Then I saw this roti stall, their prata looks really nice, also they sell teh tarik at GBP1/ cup..

lots of asian around, can hear people talking in malay everywhere..

just after the food court is the super market..quite spacious..

and they got fresh seafood department, ming u , the big lobster shown was still alive n moving when i took this picture k:>

well, all in all the super market sell lots of stuff, i wont say is good though, cos there IS NO CENTURY EGG!!!!!!!!! @%^*&*(*()waste my precious time..
after the super market, we just walk around the mall for little while, then we went out from the other entrance, n we saw this puji puji satay stall..weather nice or not i dun know la, 6 sticks of satay ayam cost GBD4.50..i wont bother event though u tell me is the best satay in uk..:>

and we leave the place at 3 pm..will i go again? maybe...place is ok, but too far from where i live, things are more expensive than china town, and not as much thing as there too..( remember? the dun sell century egg:-|)
But i must say the food is nice:> maybe will be back for the food:>
