On the 27th January 2007, AIESEC CUHK organized a Multicultural Food Expo. The program started with a Lunch in a Restaurant in Shatin, The local people calls it "yamcha", which means having lots of dim sums and chinese tea. In Malaysia, "yam cha" means to have supper or a drink in the local stalls.

However, the dimsums in Hong Kong have so much variety, which to compare with Malaysia. It is exotic and very nice too..

After Lunch we head to the local markets and superstores to get all the ingredients to cook for dinner. So i bought some for myself too because I was supposed to prepare some Malaysian dishes and I decided to prepare Curry Chicken and Bak Kut Teh. Of course, I did not prepare alone, I have an assistant with me. Ren Chang was there to help too…

He helped to skin the chicken, cuts the potatoes and chillies. It was fun cooking, both of us actually cooking the 2 dishes for the first time. Well, It turns out good too.

The ingredients for the curry chicken are curry paste, coconut milk, chicken, potatoes and red chillies. meanwhile, for Bak Kut Teh are chinese herbs, garlic, pork ribs, oyster sauce, dark and light soya sauce and some pepper.

my chinese new year away from home!

well everything went well apart from being together with my family, relatives and friends back home.

however i have new pool of friends here. my colleagues, AIESECers, SNs, etc.

i had "tun yuen" with friends in Hong Kong. went outing too. it was really fun. in Hong Kong they have this market which has so many stalls which sells lots of things. from selling flowers, drinks, cookies, windmill and some cute items. it was really crowded with ppl. the stalls were operated mostly by University students. the rental for the stalls for few days can cost up to HKD 20000.

on the 29th January i went with my colleague to watch the chinese new year parade. they have about 37 cars parading…some may seen it on Malaysian TV channels..i took lots of video on it…it’s very diffirent than in Malaysia. the crowd is so energetic….cheering, clappings and etc.

on the following day, i joined the Aiesecers to Peng Chau island. Peng chau is a very small island. i went there to have seafood….then at night we took the boat ride about 1 hour to get to tsim tsa tsui so we could catch the fire works display at 8pm…

on the third day, much better. i went to the race course in Shatin….

i went there with 2 colleagues…they were there for the 1st  time too. but we did gamble a bit…making decision on which horse to bet..

wah2 am adi…ned to go to bed..to be continue…………..

finally it’s friday.after hectic and busy week, it’s time to rest….

chilling here with my flat mate and enjoing our McDonald meals during dinner and walking around Kingswood Ginza, the nearby mall.

going online using my friend’s laptop now…how i wish i can do it in my very own room. well this is because i have to replace my spoilt hard disc. after doing some surveys, it cost about HKD 800 for a 60 GB and 5400 rpm had disc.

is it cheap? well i thinkit’s quite reasonable and the ppl herefinds it cheap. luckily i work here…so i don;t have much problem with my financial…

i shall buy one soon…so i could go online in my room again..

to be continued.
