Chinatown

Went to soak in the CNY festivities last nite @ Chinatown.

Some taiwan brand hand-made eggroll.  Done on the spot.  

1 pkt (3 pcs) for $2

2 pkts for $3.50

5 flavours.  Can't remember all .... think chocolate, seaweed .. 

As its made on the spot, you've got to have the patience to queue for the goods 

We waited quite a while for our turn

It was alright .... Thicker (not those paper thin types that you get from those factory made ones) and softer to the bite (it crumbles easily).  Ok lah, not something I would go all out to eat.  I'm contented with the usual cheaper versions. 

Crowded!!   .... and lots of CNY decorations, and the usual tidbits from Taiwan (muah chee, jellies, healthy nutes), dried sausages & meats that you commonly see during CNY, flowers, pomelos, cookies (nothing fanciful) ... all the usual ... nothing interesting that caught our fancy

This is the nian2 gao1 from Taiwan.  Different flavours such as coffee, chocolate, green tea etc.  Taste just like muah chee to me.  Apart from the novelty, nothing to wow about.  I would much prefer our traditional nian2 gao1.  But having said that, I'm really no fan of this sticky sweet delicacy.

All in all a good way to while away an hour or two soaking in the sights and festivities ... but really nothing interesting.  Not that you can't get any of these same goods elsewhere.  Am sure the same merchandises are available round the island.   So small wonder we ended up empty handed.  Didn't buy anything.  

Two more weeks to CNY.  Hooray! :D
