we noticed that their sign looks like the 紅螞蟻 in HK (which is famous of its 焗飯).. we decided to give it a try.. & it was not bad!

冰鎮奶茶 Icy Milk Tea $2.5 & 高纖胚芽好立克 Wheat Germ Horlick $2.99
..there was no ice in the Icy Milk Tea.. they put the drink in the bowl with ice to make the Milk Tea icy.. which is nice (as the Milk Tea won't be diluted).. & LG likes the Horlick too..


they have a variety of choices.. 湯麵 Soup Noodle, 焗 Casserole Dishes, 炒 Stir Fried, 燴 Stew, etc.

LG & i both picked 焗飯.. we could have Steamed Rice, Fried Rice, or Spaghetti..
泰式紅咖哩豬頸肉 Baked Pork Loin in Thai Red Curry $7.99

金牌港式焗豬扒 Baked Pork Chop in Tomato Sauce $7.99

the food was above average.. & we'll definitely try again as they gave out cash coupons after we paid.. it's worth half of our bill.. i guess they r still brand new & that's y they r doing this kind of discount program.. to make customers come back again.. :P

& the place became quite busy at lunch time..

Indigo Child @ HK

Indigo Child
Carrie Chau 5th Art Exhibition
Date: Nov. 20 - Dec. 31
Place: Times Square, Causeway Bay

LG sent me these pics, & they r so cute!!
LG said these "cartoons" are drawn by a very young gal.. after reading her bios, i found that her background is quite interesting.. she believes that she was an alien in her past life! (The idea of "Indigo Child" is related to alien too!)

(all pics taken by LG@HK..)

some info about this exhibition & the artist..

(i guess i really have to finish all my long overdue blog entries re my HK trip back in May!! hee hee..)
