Yum cha-ing

Woke up early today, considering that there was no school. Because it's the day for yum cha. Ah gong brought the 4 of us out to Tai Pan for dim sum. It was good. Imagine 3 greedy pigs who are deprived of good food. So it wasn't surprising that our table got filled up by those 'long' of dim sums and the small plates of pastry. I mean, when the waitress push a trolley by, of course you will take the things you want. So we take, and take and take. Till the point that Ah gong couldn't stand it anymore that he asked, 'Are you sure you girls can finish? Dun later end up i have to clear table.' We assured him that we will finish and said that we will not ordered anymore. He looked at us suspiciously but did not say anything.

Every time the trolley went by, there will be three pairs of eyes following the food on the trolley. From left to right. Den we will look at Ah gong and he will stare at us and we will look back on the food on our table. Suddenly Ah gong mention that the 'lian rong' buns here are good and ask us if we want. We say ok. The bun lady came over and ask us if we want any buns, got cha shu buns, dao sa bun, lian rong bun etc. Then XL asked me, 'Do you think the cha shu bun will be good?'

Of course i won’t know as this is my first time there too. So i say, 'erm.. i also dun know lei, but can try lor.' Then immediately, i tell the waitress, 'One lian rong bun and one cha shu bun.' Without consulting Ah gong. Haha.. The look on his face is priceless. If he was drinking his tea he will had definitely spill it out. After that he said, 'I thought you were only going to order one. How come order two?' All we could do were to laugh to hide our embrassement.

After which he said, 'Look around you. Only our table is filled to the point where we need to stack up the 'long's. Other people will finish theirs and then take some more. But you girls just take and take and take. *nagnagnag..*' Yah. But XL, ET and i told him that to us it's very common as we are afraid that once it passed us we won't get to see it again. Also, back in Sing at Sakae, that is also the way i behave so we don't see anything wrong with it. But the manager who was walking around was staring at us all the time. Maybe he was thinking if we will have enough money to pay up.. In the end ah gong gave up on us. But we limit ourselves too. We joined power and clear every single plate on the table.

In the end we were so full that i really really felt like puking. It cost us $25 each which i thought was pretty reasonable considering that we eat so much. There was no need for me to eat lunch obviously and for dinner, all i had was some cookies and a glass of milk. So, it is pretty worth it to pay $25 where the dim sum are make of good quality fillings.
