Just gonna write a short post while waiting to have my dinner. I AM SUPER HUNGRY, ROAR.

Anyway, my daddy's in Singapore for a few days of work! He arrived mid-afternoon and after resting for a bit, I met him in town for dinner. We decided to eat at Si Chuan Dou Hua Restaurant at his hotel because of their supposed dazzling tea service.

The deal is that master tea pourers use kettles with a one-metre-long spout to execute dramatic pouring techniques like Nodding Phoenix and Boy Prays to Buddha as they fill your cup with absolute precision. Well that's what they said on their website! I don't know anything about any Nodding Phoenix or Boy Prays to Buddha nonsense, but what I know is that the spout really is looong! And the tea guy only did two "techniques" (if you can call them so) which was just looked like he was pouring tea normally and one more was by kinda putting the tea pot over his shoulder. Or something like that.

The food wasn't too bad but it was still too much for the both of us. We had dan dan noodles and knife-shredded noodles in bean paste (this tasted very much like pan mee) and cripsy soft shell crab with pork floss. And we got to eat fortune cookies too! Haha I love eating fortune cookies. And it's fun to read the "fortune" you get too! Ironically speaking, Chinese people don't actually eat fortune cookies, do we? Think this whole fortune cookie gimmick was made popular in the States..

It was a nice quiet dinner. Not crowded in the restaurant. And I think it's the first time I'm having dinner alone with my dad. Talked to him about his work here and somehow I could sense that he is feeling stressed from work. Or tired. And it makes me feel a little guilty and yet so thankful that I have such a wonderful daddy. For always working so hard so that he can provide his wife & three daughters with a good life. We're really lucky. Love my daddy to bits! (:
