Chinatown, Little Italy & Soho

I visited Chinatown cos my dad just can't go without Asian cuisine. 

#ootd!

When you're a tourist you can wear anything crazy :)

Queue Number

Was there at about 11am and there was already a queue downstairs. The Golden Unicorn Restaurant (lol the name) is housed in a building that looked quite old and crummy. Well but some people might feel that this adds to the whole 'eating chinese food' experience. It does remind me abit of Hong Kong. This restaurant own a number of floors in the building, it must be quite established. After a wait for 20mins downstairs we were sent up to the 3rd floor. Due to some apparent miscommunication, we waited outside the lift on the 3rd floor for another 15 mins. zzzzzzz.  

Pan Fried Carrot Cake

Har Kau - Prawn Dumplings

Would say the food is quite legit. Not the best I've had, but definitely legit. The service staff mostly spoke canton. Maybe this establishment is run by Hong Kongers.


Check this out :) Ever since I first had it in Sg 8 years or so ago, now, its in almost all dim sum restaurants in SG. Most people have not tried this before, its a bun filled with egg yolk custard :) Soft, gooey, custardy, warm, salty, sweet its a combination of everything nice!

Streets of Chinatown - 'Shanghai -looking' buildings


Couldn't care for chinese food but I missed soy bean! Found a stall selling freshly made soy bean and beancurd. I like how the soy bean was packaged in this typical milk bottle, in SG soy milk comes in a carton or a glass bottle. This is much easy to carry around cos its resealable. :)

And, little Italy's just round the corner, so we popped by for some Gelato. :)
