hamish & andy & dessert

hehe, randomly found out the day before that my beloved radio duo hamish (and andy) would be doing signings at 7pm at chaddy last night. LOL. Thought it would be fun to swing by and have a perve as we had never have any better plans :p

well it was a quick perve, but a close glimpse none the less~ as the non H&A lovers with me were quite un-amused at the sight of the massive long line of young fans lined up with DVDs and posters for em to sign... I guess if i had went alone i woulda hung around much longer in attempt for a photo opportunity with em lol but oh well it was still better than a night at home for sure. Still got to see em like 2 m away from me. haha so close yet so far thanks to half a dozen cranky pants security ppl who told me to move away coz i had took enough photos?? errr i didnt even get a single clear one but! pftt.

anyways, dessert afterwards at Monga Dessert Lounge proved to be ust as exciting - well for me anyways..hehe walking in i couldnt get over how imitation HK 80s styled cafe it looked!!! The windows had all this fake scenery, the inside decor looked so similar - tables, chairs, even fake bird cages hanging off the roof!! It was obviously themed that way, but for half a sec the environment really does sorta deceive you to make you feel like you are in HK. hehe and the food on the menu was so typical of dessert places like Hui Lau Shan and local Cha Chan Tengs - instant noodles, macaroni, polo baos and all! mmmm i didnt see any dan tarts unfortunately though. All the sweet soups reminds me of the late night tong sui we had bak there XD


Anyways excitement got the better of me and i was struggling to pick and choose to order coz i wanted to try nearly EVERYTHING. haha. Finally settled for a sago dessert. I'd heard of the name many times and know it's a popular dessert in HK but don't remember ever trying it before. It was pretty refreshing~ I so can imagine these desserts doing their job in summer :P

Sago & mango dessert ("Yeung Ji Gum Lo")

Sago with mango in coconut milk

Ovaltine (in a mad jar/mug thing ahaha)

Actually, I think in the first few moments of arriving, i had decided - I LOVE THIS PLACE! And i desperately wana go back again and again... well at least until i get to try everything on the menu! tehehe :)
