CNY Goodie Shopping

Went Taka last night for some CNY goodie shopping. Wanted to buy some goodies for happy snacking/pigging/munching during the CNY period and so tot to check out the Taka CNY fair. Surprisingly the place wasn't like packed yesterday. Crowded lah yes, but at least it wasn't arm-jostling kind of pack, so my friend and I was able to leisurely walk around.

There were quite a number of stores set up, some that I could think of Rasa Sayang, Pines, Amethyst, Bengawan Solo, Raffles The Plaza, Xi Yue Tang, Lavendar and many many more. So we went around trying out the various cookies and stuff, and I realise they all taste about the same to me. Maybe I was having lots of expectation about all the yummy stuff so was a little disappointed when we walked around the atrium like twice and I still couldn't decide on what goodies to buy. Nothing really stand out for me to just grab and pay for it ? :P

Also met Roentgen, who was there doing his own CNY goodie shopping! Haha .... he seemed just as lost as I was but later told me he was "conned" (yeah right! :P more like charmed ! haha) into buying some pineapple tarts from some young gals. He showed me the pineapple tarts and wow! they are HUGE! Big square blocks! What kind of pineapple tarts are those ?

We were tired from all the walking and sampling and by 9pm we were beat. So I ended up buying this atom peanuts (an indonesian food stuff) from the Rasa Sayang store. Also bought some chocolate wrapped in golden foils in the form of coins and gold ingots for my family.

The Amethyst store was selling the pineapple tarts like hot cakes! The baker was baking there on the spot and when we asked to sample the pineapple tarts, they said that they no longer offer the tarts for sampling!!!! (Wah!) and even if we want to buy their pineapple tarts, we will have to place our orders and collect on Friday (wah wah! so popular ??) Anyway, knowing that all pineapple tarts probably taste about the same to me, I didn't see a need to join in the crowd to order pineapple tarts. Anyway their tarts look a tad small, don't think its worth the while also.

Left the mall feeling super drained, and super jelat from all the CNY goodie sampling. In fact, I seem to have satisfied my craving for all the CNY goodies and right now, seeing another tart or love letter or even just the thought of it, makes me nauseous ! *puke*

No more CNY goodies for now ? Let's see how my body feels the next time someone offers me a CNY goodie :P
