Because most of my friends are Chinese and Asian, when we go out they usually want to eat European food. I remember one time we were in Chinatown and of all the places to go to and eat... we went to an Italian Restaurant. Which was missing a window. My favourite Japanese restaurant at the moment is in Chinatown (it's called Misato) and I just love the different cuisine as my family are mostly European.
So when I was given free reign of where I wanted to eat to celebrate surviving sugery (I'm still hacking up blood though) and passing my driving theory test, I said The Real China; a Chinese all you can eat buffet in the next town over. Arrr, UNLIMITED FOOD!
Needless to say I took full advantage of this. Plus I couldn't get enough of the mini desserts! My sweet intake is limited at home so I went all out - cheesecake, mouse, tiramasu, profiterole, chocolate cake... Heaven. Please note they are MINI! I didn't eat the restaurant out of business. I avoided the creme caramel as it was swimming in something that smelt unattractive.
Before we ate however, I visited the arcade that is attached to a bowling alley. I have a slight fairground gambling problem - I just love penny pushers and claw machines! This particular arcade had both eastern and western styles kof claw grabber games which made it even more fun! :D I won a chocolate cupcake plushie complete with strawberry on top and.... MR T! Now I can wave him around whilst calling someone a FOOL!
Saturday saw me take a trip to Reading for a hint of shopping. Having a high core body temperature means that I don't actually have too many warm clothes and due to the ammount of snow that's been falling the past few years, my family thought I needed to get something suitable. Reading has such a great selection of shops I really enjoyed myself! Some of my favourite buys included a racoon hat, a cute reindeer skirt, a colourful giller, a hooded woollen dress with fluffy bobbles, books, a Third Window Movie - Confessions, nail polish and a game for my 3DS - Zelda: Ocarina Of Time. As I never played the original for more than 30 minutes, I am really enjoying playing it on my handheld console. I especially like GameChap's walkthrough on Youtube from when I got a little stuck :)
The Red Garden Manga Shop which I usually enjoy whilst in Reading... wasn't there! The sign was painted over and blinds drawn. I don't know what has happened to it, but I'm sad it's gone especially as I enjoyed their second hand manga section.
I saw Johnny English 2 in the cinema :D The plot and script were a bit thin, but parts were really funny and also... part of it was filmed in the woods where I walk my dogs! I recognised the set and enjoyed watching them film, one day hoping to be on a set myself :)
Of all things, they filmed a scene with snow - I remember picking out little bits of rolled cotton out of my dog's fur. It was a nice relaxing movie to watch with popcorn. I also learned that Chinese meals are like buses - they all come at once XD (I had Chinese beforehand).
