the queueing part might totally ruin ur plan of dining there

U will have to take a queue number first and then expected to go loiter around for like 2 hours before coming back.

We went there on monday morning… and needs to wait like 2 hours.So u can imagine going there on weekends.They will issue u their menu with ur queue number on the menu

Most importantly, price is super reasonable :)

About SG$15 for 2 pax?

After we took the queue number at “Tim Ho Wan”, we went to my favourite egg tart place – Tai Cheong Bakery @ Grand Century Place!

not hot leh, but still nice!shopping!!! i’m really not a shopping person…

was contemplating whether to buy birks at hong kong cos’ my feet really hurts with the covered shoes + hong kong is really cheap for its birks!!!

My colleague just told me its the same price as the manufacturing country (sorry forgot which country).

After u done some conversion, the price is actually abt the same at footshopping or slightly cheaper @ hong kong.

The reason why i contemplated for some time whether to buy birks was because i’ve already owned 4 birks at home!

i bought them like during my uni days… cos’ they were really comfy and can last u for a long long time!

So anyway, i also couldn’t decide if i want the black polka dots, or the red polka dots.:S

Both are nice actually…. argh

But i’m still kinda glad i finally decided on the red polka dots.

It was actually OOS and they have to transfer the birks from another outlet…Its about SG$70 nett anyway :)

I LOVE MY NEW RED POLKA DOTS BIRKS!!

have been wearing it pretty regularly even after i’m back in SG !

Think i probably should bring one of my birks and put in my office too… cos’ my colleagues commented that my mphosis slippers got no more sole. its like as if u are stepping ur foot bare on the ground.

Sorry to bore u, but the below photos are all about FOOD!

I took damn little photos for this trip i realize.. too tired i guess. + i’m old already

OH YAH, my birks are bought at Tsim Sha Tsui, harbour city :)

So okay, when u are at TST, u probably have to land ur break time here: The Sweet Dynasty (:
