Guangzhou Travaganza 2007 (Sept)- Day One

Guangzhou Travaganza 2007 (Sept)- Day One


We finally touched down in Guangzhou after a 4 hour long and tiring flight.


We hardly caught a wink in the plane and worst still, we didn't even sleep the night before, we played mahjong through the night and rushed to the airport thereafter.






Our hotel room- LIDO Hotel.
It costs us approximately SGD100 per person for 5 nights.

Having our meal at our hotel's restaurant (its real good!!!!)


Exotic dishes like these can be found here and almost anywhere in Guangzhou.


The menu has lots and lots and lots of food that we can't decide on!



"Ham Shui Kok" and porridge. (porridge is not very nice in this restaurant, not worth trying)


Excellent milk egg tarts that is really juicy, sweet with very soft but yet crispy crusts.

The other dish is brinjal that instantly melts in my mouth.
These 2 dishes are an absolute MUST TRY!!


Pork Knuckle Salad. (the gravy has a very typical sweet and sour Thai/Vietnamese cuisine taste), but it's nice.


Fried Beehoon, pretty normal.


Cheese Baked Sweet Potato.
I'm a big fan of cheese and potatoes, you can imagine how much i love this.


The price list for NEWAY KTV.
We thought it was rather cheap, it even comes with free buffet but after that we found a much much cheaper KTV.


Happily exploring the place while the rest were sleeping away in the hotel.

After walking up and down Beijing Road (opposite Lido Hotel), it's a pedestrian shopping street where you can find cheap and nice clothes, accessories, do hair/eyelash extension etc, we also got really tired and headed back to the hotel for a nap.


Dinner time at Xing Yun Lou at Tai Kang Road.


Tha fantastic DURIAN MUAH CHEE!
Truly unforgettable and very very cheap.


I can't remember what this is but i think it's pig intestines soup.


I dunno which animal's brains soup.


Fried pig's stomach.
I never liked all these but this dish is really nice.
it tastes similar to squids which is the next dish.


Fried and very fresh squids.

All extremely happy with this meal.


We found a new way to take pictures!


I highly recommend this place to dine in.
Alot of their dishes are really unforgettable, they have lots of varieties to choose from and its really very cheap.


We ordered so many dishes and it's not even RMB200. (divide by 5 to get SGD)


Tao Tao Ju's GIANT Mooncake!


A vending machine that sells condoms.

Typhoon's coming!






This is a BMW!
I wonder if it's another replica??

Massage time!
This massage parlour is heaven, seriously, i really love the service, the skills of the masseurs, the spa, the food, the everything!!!!!!!


Ear candling for only SGD7!!



Free cigarettes and lighters too.
The 3 chinese characters is the name of this massage parlour: Jun Kang Yue.
It's at Guangzhou Hotel.

The best place to relax after a tired day.
It even beats sleeping at home!

i think i better jot down some of the prices before i forget.
1 hour body massage- 50rmb (~sgd10)
70 mins foot massage + 1 hour body massage- 88rmb (~sgd17)
ear candling- 38rmb (~sgd7)

unlimted spa package + 1 hour body massage + free flow of food + use of internet= 168rmb (~sgd33)

and for the unlimited spa package, if you wish to add on another hour of foot massage, you only pay rmb10 which is sgd2 only!!

we're really queens in this place, no joke!

Guangzhou Shopping Loot! Sept 2007.


Guangzhou Shopping Loot! Sept 2007.

My Sony camera isn't with me, i miss it so much!
But however, i still managed to use my older cam to take some pics of my beloved Guangzhou shopping loot.

Didn't buy as much as the previous time cuz i tried to 'shop smart' this time round.
I went shopping with the constant thought that my wardrobe has exploded and all my clothes are now spilling all over my room floor.

And most importantly, i didn't even wear half of what i bought in Guangzhou last year.
Therefore, i restricted quite a bit this time, but still, i spent even more!!
God knows why!



Shoes!- all below SGD10.
Compared to the 13 pairs of shoes i crazily bought last year, i only bought 4 pairs this time and one of them is for mum!
I actually realised that all the shoes i see in the departmental stores are what i already have, the designs are all the same and not much new and refreshing designs are being sold.


I like this pair the most because of the gold heart!


Bags and a lovely pouch for my camera.


Gems for nailart.


Nailart stickers!


A dress and a babydoll top which is actually too big for me.
hmm.. i wonder if i can turn it into a dress instead.


a knitted top and the black piece is a halter vest.


2-piece tops.


Shorts and mini skirts!

The trend now is very Hongkong like.
Cardigans, tee-shirts with long bohemian skirts, layered tops.
Very casual.
Bye-bye leggings.


Towels!
I love My Little Pony.


Falsies and glittery eyeliners.


Anna Sui mirror for less than SGD1!
some hairclips and necklaces which only cost SGD1.


Many sweet hp accessories.


Star buy: Mini Flip Cell Phone!


Comparing the size of it with my Nokia 6300.


Umbrella which we call "Lemon".


I did Hair Extension in Guangzhou as well!
Now, i have long hair again!
It's made of real human hair (i'm constantly wondering who's hair it is)

Hair extension costs approximately SGD100 or less there for my kind of extension (whole head), they tried to con us and asked us to pay SGD200 but we talked our way through, it was really tough and time consuming.
So, alwayz ask for the price first before doing something in Guangzhou.













Will be back with more Guangzhou updates, more food (we really ate ALOT and were pretty adventurous)

tata!
