9p.m. @ Central Station
無題 (whatever) April 30th, 2006
The third night of my HK trip… while waiting for my friend at the Central MTR station, I decided to go online and write something… so far, my meal schedule has been totally crazy… I mean, I was eating the whole day. Today, I had dim sum for brunch and then dim sum again as afternoon tea. Then, fresh durian and other snacks in between meals. Gosh, I just don’t feel like eating anymore. (But now I’m going to an Indian restaurant.) :p
Count-down 倒數…

7:00pm, finally I could get out of the office. Came back home with sore shoulder and stiff neck… Had a big home-dinner with BBQ duck, steamed fish and veggie. Here I am again, going online and writing my last post before my 3-week vacation. When I’m travelling, I guess I won’t be accessing Internet that often. However, I don’t anticipate that I will miss my computer that much since I’ll be eating, shopping and partying while I’m in HK.
(I’ll miss my blog for sure though ;p)
Last weekend, JW threw a dinner gathering at Asian Legend (Commerce Gate location). At around 7:30pm, the restaurant was fullhouse + several groups waiting for tables at the entrance. We had to wait for like 15-20 minutes even though we had a reservation. I was really surprised that Asian Legend would be that busy. No wonder it just opened up a “flagship” location near Finch and Leslie.
It was nice to see JW and her new boyfriend, P. Chat chat chat…. Here are the dishes we ordered. Plus another 2 dishes that were not shown here - 賽螃蟹 & Lion Head… Overall, the food was ok. Maybe it’s just that I’ve been to Asian Legend so many times already and it feels like part of my kitchen already. :p
Counting down…10 hours… I’ll be on the plane.
To sleep or not to sleep, that’s the question. @_@
三天後…

很累, 但又有點興奮. 還沒有準備好細軟呢.

Mug & Truffle Chocolate Café

To me, a perfect weekend afternoon = sunshine + drink + relax. It can be a at the beach in Maldives, at home sitting by the backyard, or something like last weekend. AF suggested going to this place because of an article in a magazine. Good Friday, around 3:30pm, 5 of us came to this cafe. It’s located on Hwy 48 (= Main Street Markham N.). If you drive on Markham Road, go north, pass Hwy7, it will be on your left side. Mug & Truffle isn’t really standout, but if you look at the street number, you will see building (strip mall) where it is located. When we stepped into the cafe, there were already 3-4 customers, 2 sitting at the corner and 2 ordering coffee. Looking around the cafe, there is the coffee beans and tea collection on the left.
As you can see, there are some tables behind the collection… With the 2 big 1-person-sofas, the area can seat about 15-20 people.
On the right side, there is the truffle collection. Looks really good, but I didn’t try the truffle. I’ll probably leave it til next time.
You can also order cakes there. These cakes LOOKS really sweet. One of my friend tried it and said it was good. If any of you have tried the cakes, please let me know how you like them.
Coffee and tea on the left, truffle and cake on the right. The cashier is in the middle, with blackboard on the wall, indicating the various types of coffee and drinks you can get. That afternoon, there were 3 persons working there. A mid-age gentleman, a slim mid-age woman and also a short-blond-hair girl. I guess that afternoon might be one of the busiest time they’ve ever seen. 9 of us just marched into this little cafe that afternoon. (oh, almost forgot to mention that another 4 friends also joined us and came to this place about 5 minutes later) Crazy people… I could see their usual pace was totally interrupted. They forgot about my drink and mixed up other 2 drinks. Since we didn’t know if we would stay there long, we ordered the coffee to go - that’s why you’re seeing all these paper cups. The people there were very nice and said if they knew we were staying, they would have given us nicer cups.
Yea… We stayed there and chatted for quite a while. Relaxed and I thought… If we went there in a smaller group, that would even be better. By the way, they also have HotSpot there in case you wanna use your laptop.
On top of the sofa, I saw a cushion that says - “Coffee, Chocolate, Men… Are better to be Rich”. What a cute cushion. 
On the left is the Mocha Latte that I ordered. It was pretty good. On the right is my friend’s drink… Had a sip of some of the drinks - and I would say I like the “Milky Way” best… It’s not too sweet. (Can’t remember the whole name, but you’ll know which one I’m talking about if you’re there).
