CNY@Manchester

Chinese New Year!! Which traditionally is a family event with a great family gathering and feast, but this is the closest (and best) that we can get over here in the UK. And honestly it was pretty good. Dom and I made the trip down to Chinatown Manchester as it is the most happening one in the whole of UK, and they were right. In fact this is more Chinese New Year-ish than I've ever seen in Malaysia. Shame on Malaysia. Well actually kind of expected if you think about the reason why....but let's not go into politics.

May Quan came down from Liverpool while Yuvanna, Michelle and Sook Yeen came across from Leicester, which according to them is a pretty sad place. Not like Preston has anything to shout about lol. And we headed to Chinatown which was fucking crowded. Took us almost 20minutes to walk from one end of the street to the other which would normally take 1minute. Insane. Felt like Hong Kong all over again.

Lunch was at Pacific Restaurant, which in my opinion might be even better than some KL ones. What was supposed to be a 1pm lunch turned into a 3pm high-tea event due to the queue. Damn. Trying to imagine the profit that they must be making as they are also packed on normal weekends. Haha and Dom was bitching about why so many whites were out in the streets occupying space and in the restaurants as well since it is totally not their celebration at all.

Anyway, awesome food is always worth the wait!




Sook Yeen took the photos for the rest of the food I was too busy pigging out already by then. Had a few more dishes later on. We even managed to head to Trafford Center and Hard Rock Cafe Manchester for some beer before heading our separate ways. Our next target now is a Eurotrip! Maybe to somewhere warm, preferably not the Swiss Alps.
