Another squeezy day out with Shawn.... Went to the River Ang Bao located near Marina Square to have a feel of the CNY atmosphere. Didn't really had a filling dinner before we went, so one of our objective is to get our stomach filled there =P
While walking there, a round of fire works started at around 9pm... we were like "WTF" why is there fireworks? Being not informed of the timing of the fireworks, we missed it, only to hear the loud BOOMs =(
The 十二生肖 (12 Chinese Zodiac) Lantern

This trip was not at all a disappointment as we met our "Objective". We tried out lotsa food there ^^ We had the 臭豆腐 (Video of 臭豆腐seller HERE), wheat grass with green apple drink, 扣肉包 and also some weird looking and slimy China Snack..... And also not forgetting, we even went to the BIG 财神爷 there as there were alot of people crowding there waiting for the 财神to "Throw Money" which is believed to bring good money luck and also some of the "Money" he threw has got 4 numbers on it where you can bet on the 4D..... Being the "Kiasu" Singaporean, we saw some folks opened up the umbrellas and carry it upside down so as to catch more "Money" =.= What an ugly sight....
