after lunch, we went to mos burger for a chit-chat! wen qing left first and the rest of us went to walk around town while i waited for lianny :)
lianny came around evening time and both of us went last minute shopping for cny clothes! we combed far east till 8 plus before heading for dinner at wheelock's big-o! this gotta be 1 of my favourite restaurants! the food is so good!
calamari
seafood penne (which i totally love cause they even pick out the crabmeat for u hahaha)
pan-fried cod fish fillet (this is like crispy on the outside and super soft on the inside)
