Today marked the one month period of me being in Canberra. To celebrate it, the chef specially made 'Dim Sim' (That's what they call it here) for lunch. =p Haha, just joking. It was just a coincidence.

I dislike the word 'Dim Sim'. It sounds....erm weird. I shall continue by using 'Dim Sum'. There...sounds so much better.

The 'Dim Sum's here looked fat, as if they were overfed. They offer both chicken and beef. I chose the chicken 'Dim Sum' and couldn't wait to taste it as I haven't eaten it since I arrived here. Unfortunately, my ears were already filled with negative comments regarding the 'Dim Sum' before I could settle down at the dining table.

Msian 1: Ei...better don't eat that...not nice one..
Me: Really? So big wor..
Msian 2: That's why...fat 'Dim Sum' where got nice one...

Haha..had a good laugh before trying it. Well, it wasn't that bad but at the same time, yeah, it barely reached the average benchmark.

The 'Dim Sum'. I ran all the way up to my room again to take my camera. I just couldn't miss the opportunity to show my family how the 'Dim Sum' in Australia looks like. The fried rice was even worse. It had a horrible combination of hard (didn't put enough water), dry, and not enough taste. There you go, the reason I rarely eat rice in Canberra.

Thank God spring rolls saved the day. Sumptuous man...I went for a second helping and took more spring rolls =p The fried 'popiah' wasn't too bad as well. Wah..so many fried stuffs. And I used to think that the food here are very very healthy. But still, most of the meals are healthy (just minus the 'very very')

Thanks for reading =D
