Had a plate of 小米辣牛肉炒饭 and i nearly lost my tongue. After the 5th or 6th spoonful, my tongue was nearly totally numb... i'm gonna have diarrhoea tomorrow... hahaha... nevermind, will continue to improve my ability to withstand and enjoy such food... Anyway, i didn't believe it when my friend told me that Mangshi has the best food in China. But now ( Read more... )

Mr Chee Chin just told me to update my blog. So here goes.

There's nothing much to say, really. haha. Perhaps it's the regression into certain states which i wish is not the case, but that's life, can't escape - gotta face them and deal with them.

But, the food is not bad :)

Going down to a village tomorrow till Friday morning! Excited (i think)! Gonna be rough, but well, seems like the people i'm going with luv it ( Read more... )
