Very good dim sum in Bukit Mertajam, Penang

I highly recommend this place for dim sum as it won't lose to the best ones in Ipoh or Hong Kong.

This is really yummy. It is a dumpling stuff with corn and prawn! Yum!

Carrot cake to the perfection!

Dumpling with a herbal bend.

Pancake!

Small family dinner

Dad and mum enjoying their dinner, while the waitress pours wine into my glass. 

This wine has won many awards and was given by my friend Buen. I had kept it for special occasions.

The casing for the wine.
The wine is really great and the scent even goes to the nose which does not happen with inferior wine.

Birthday cake from my partner David

Drinking tea in Beijing (2)

Pic: The smaller cup represents earth, while the longer cup represents heaven.

Pic: Note the cups come either in porcelain or clay

The tea is poured into the longer cup (heaven) and covered with the small cup (earth) and flipped over... so you end up drinking tea from heaven

Lift the linger cup and rolled it in your palms to stimulate blood flow through the body.

Then roll it on your face...to enhance your complexion

Then skim it around the eye socket to enhance blood flow...

Then finally you drink the tea...

Guys have to hold the cup as such whereby the bottom three fingers support the base (3 dragons supporting the ceiling).

For women, you are meant to hold it as such and it represents a sort of flower.
