a funny day with mummy

 I met up with my mom and dad and their friends..and they took us to this really interesting dim sum place..



 and by interesting, i mean, there are no servers... you literally grab a table, then grab everything else yourself... teapots, cups, bowls, chopsticks, FOOD, etc.






when food is ready, they scream out "DIM SUM IS OUT!! GRAB YOUR FOOD NOW!!" its pretty hilarious..






 this dog that lives in the buildling right behind my dad were trying to get food..he just looked so sad..and plus his body is white and his head is black and brown.. STRANGE!!! but cute!!!




 look how sad he looks!!!






 afterwards, we went literally right behind the building where theres a WATERCRESS FARM!! soooo cool!! all the DARK GREEN is watercress (jeffy's fave!!) and the lighter green narrower areas are paths.. VERY SHAKY paths.. with some rocks as the path!



 Theres a group of people there.... waiting for the one PICKER to pick them a bag of watercress... $20/bag!!!! the picker is the owner







  
basically, my mom was walking along that narrow path... and her right foot fell INTO the water.. (ie, the dark green spots).. its called WATERCRESS because they basically grow in water.. like a pond.... theres actually a cool technique to pick it...but that will be explained in videos).. SO FUNNY though.. her right foot went in..and she pulled her foot out.WITH NO SHOE!! i was dying.. took a pic right away before helping her of course.. hahaa :)

you can't even see her show.. its that white line there in the middle of the pic.... HAHAHA it's really lodged in there...

 now, you might wonder... why is her left leg all dirty?? well, as soon as she got out..she walked a bit more, hit another unsteady rock, and her left leg fell into the water HAHA!!!!! at this point both her feet were jut SOAKED and everyone was dying of laughter.. there goes her shoes!!!

 someone told her to wash her shoes in a nearby rivine with really clean water.. hahaaha oh man.. how embarassing.. the rest of the day she walked aroudn with squishy wet shoes!









 we went to FA YUEN street and it was opened up again..the bulding was still burnt :( my mom was happy to buy a ton of stuff thoguh haha!





 back to my moms friends hosue for turkey dinner!! :)






 after diner my cousin picked us up to go to B JAI LEUNG FUN.... which is all the way out in Yuen Long...



 mango and durian PANCAKE! YUM!

beef balls (wrong order) and MANGO HAU FUN (hau fun is rice noodles..but these weren't actually rice noodles)

 this is super famous and what we came for!! grass jelly underneath and a TON of fruit on top!



 TIM AND TERESA!!.. were actuallly on the same flight as my mom! :) so i invited them out to desserts!!



after we dropped everyone off, me and my cousin went to drop off the car at his uncle's place :) drove by the TVB headquarters which is basically the largest chiense tv network!
