China Travels: Mini Food Diary
Thursday, June 25th: Dumpling DayThat day, I woke up early to help Nicole, Ana, Geet and Hailey making chinese dumplings, called Jaozi. Nicole cooked some more tasty dishes while the rest of us prepared the dumplings. I have already made dumplings before at university with my calligraphy class and it was a lot of fun and the results were delicious. This time it was even better if that is possible.

| The other dishes that nicole cooked from the top left to the top right: cucumbers, an eggplant dish, tofu and mushroom dish, eggs and tomatos and a sellery dish. She also cooked a vegetable soup which was soooo goood! |
After that successful lunch, most of us had to head to work.
Saturday, June 27th: Sushi Day
After work that day, we decided to get Sushi at the mall called Wanda Plaza. Ana and Veronica would go out with a former student of theirs for dinner, so it was only Geet, Hailey, Josie, Harry, Mitch, and me. First, we went to Starbucks because Josie was craving a tea and most of us were not that hungry yet. When Harry arrived soon, we went inside the mall and looked for the sushi restaurant called Yisushi. It looked really nice inside and the sushi dishes we ordered were mostly delicious, except for some strange ones which were also the most expensive ones.
After dinner we thought to go somewhere to play Billard but the others didn't want to so we went to the apartment and played some games: a card game, 'Who am I', and another fun game which I forgot the name of.
Just late in the evening, we called it a day.
Sunday, June 28th: Hong Kong Restaurant
That day, I had my day off. At 5pm, we wanted to meet the others and go to a restaurant called Grandma's Home which was recommended by the others for a long time. It is in a mall called Hi5, so we had to take the bus there. After Geet, Hailey and Mitch finished work, we met and went there. When we arrived there, we found out that they were booked out, so we decided to go to another restaurant and we chose a Hong Kong place since it was cheaper than the rest. Surprisingly, the food there was quite delicious.

| This is how the black sesame balls look like on the inside. For some people it might be creepy or disgusting because it is black, but black sesame is very healthy and so tasty as well. I love it. |

Anyway, I was personally happy when our little tour around the lake was over. After that, we all returned home and slept well.
