Namkee~~

Went to see a fd in Central and hv dinner~~

Think becoz we don't know where abt are the good but not too expensive restaurants, we randomlywent into Namkee.

Just incase u dont know, this is the Namkee I'm talking abt~~

My impression of this noodle place is only word of mouth from some fds, they all said the fishballs are great~~ so, went for a try~~~

As u can see, I didn't orderfishball, but I stole one from my fd. Ummmm.... how to say, it is very chewy, but I prefer fishballs with a chewy outside as well. The outside was a little soft, as pretty easy to bit into, also I liked the way the texture is smooth, but I don't think the fish taste was enough~~

Within my bow, I ordered cuttlefish balls. I though it was at average standard~ Also very chewy, but still lacking of the seafood taste(?) 

Soybean milk......... average standard, but not too sweet, good for ppl on diet~

Noodles..... just noodles......... but, they have this!!

There is a small bag of sauerkraut given to u as a set, mixing it with the noodle was actually quite nice! This is really the only part I liked.......... = =!!!
 
My fd really liked it, she said maybe becoz I hv never been really into these type of food, so they all taste the same to me. And guess what? I actually agree XDDDDD

Anyway, price was fair, coz everything nowdays are expensive, for a portion like this, I think was Okay. You can can go and give it a try =P

Katie Ying King Ting, Exhibition - "Honey"

Its been quite long since I last went to see an exhibition....

One of my close fds in design school hosted her first personal exhibition last night at wanchai! So we went to support her of coz! >///////<

Hahaha~~~ First thing we saw~~~
Almost impossible to miss Katie's style of painting~~ Not to mention there's a mural of her deer and rabbit~>W<

cHave to say, this mural helps a lot when come to find that gallery, cos it's actually a little bit hidden at the back street.

A Little something about Katie~~

Let's do no more talking, just go through some of my favourites~~>W<

The painting wasn't actually that brightly coloured, my camera made it look like this =____=
Anyway, this one, the longer you look at it, the longer u want to be in it. The stillness of the world inside that painting is ever so fascinating....

It is actually called warmth, don't you think it is sooooo sweet? >/////////<

Like said in the top, Katie's painting can be pure and can be dark...... this is one of her dark collection~~ =P It isn't the most brilliant one, the reason I took it becoz I hv seen parts of her process in painting this. She started off painting this in school, the trigger was a fancy dressed old lady in the MTR.(If I haddn't remember wrong)
It is named, "Last train" Anybody realised that, most ppl in it a leggless?

To be honest, the food are not expensive according to its quality, I though it was worth it!! Here are what we had~~~

Salmon Tofu, Tofu was very creamy~~ At average standard, but hv to say, the wasabi was hand grinded!! Quite liked that, not too "spicy" but still hv the strong taste.

Super nice Sweet corn!!!! Highly recommended. The sweet corn itself was juicy, cooked at just the right level for eating, not too dry / hard. Everybody like to have their sweet corn covered with butter, and so do I. Just, I don't like the butter to be so oily and dripping off the sweet corn. This was covered with butter, but only the taste, you see no sign of the oily butter on it at all! It was great!! Hate getting the juicy(oil?) everywhere~! XDDDD

Avocado sofuto sheru Maki~ 
Like! >W< The  sofuto sheru was nicely done, not too oily like all fried food~ the fried flour wasn't thick!! Hate eating a mouth full of fried flour...........

Salmon with mango sushi~~
Mango was sweet~>W< my favourite, but the best thing was that, the salmon was fresh, also it was rather thickly cut!>///////<

Lamb! >v< Not bad~ the taste was good~ Liked that daigo taste~! Just I dunno was it becoz I ate it a little while after it was put on table, it was a little hard to bit into for some parts

Just we though the portion was a little small~~ =P
