World UNESCO Sites that I have been to before

1)       The Great Wall of China This is one place where I bet most of the people have been to. The tour agencies especially love to bring the tourists there, and the PRCs can then rip the tourists. I was lucky enough to have Yuxi’s uncle drive us to this ulu part of the Great Wall of China , and you can read the rest of it here if you are interested. 2)       Houryuji I was quite surprised to see that it is listed as one of the UNESCO sites. I wasn’t too awed by this place, besides the fact that the deers keep asking for more senbei from me. 3)       Mount Wu Tai After watching all the weird Chinese Kungfu dramas, I was quite happy to go to Mount Wu Tai.

Review: Hong Kong Olympic City 2 Tim Ho Wan

Finding the place was not as easy as it seems to be despite it being in a shopping mall. My parents and I went there on a weekday at around 2pm, and we had to ask around for directions from the security guard before we manage to find the place. The trick is, you have to pass through an emergency exit to go out of the mall before you can see it. Luckily for us, the queue is non-existent as it was past lunch hours. The pork buns were the best! I was looking around for recommendations and I saw that practically every table ordered these and we ordered two sets! Of course, I was the one who ended up eating most of the buns =P For the rest of the food, they were all above average for those that we ordered, such as the chee chong fun, as well as the prawn dumplings. I can't remember what else we ordered but they were all so yummy! Even my dad, who is like the super duper picky eater also praised the food. He said that it was the only edible dim  sum restaurant that we have tried...
