Out of the blue, dad suddenly suggested that we go for porridge with ‘siew yoke’ and ‘char siew’. The mere mention of those words conjured up images of fatty slices of roasted pork goodness. So I said ‘let’s go! what are we waiting for?!’ He told us it was at China Street. And it was… Continue reading Wickedly Good Weekend Chee Cheong Chok @ China Street

Buffet Breakfast @ Metropole Hotel, Macau
We very nearly missed our first buffet breakfast at the Metropole Hotel. Because we mistakenly thought that we had to pay MOP40 for the breakfast.
