Introducing my hometown to Art.
I also introduced my gaggles of girlfriends to Art. They were dying to meet him after hearing so many stories about him. There was only one problem though...........none of them except one, could utter a word of English and to make matter worse, Art couldn't converse in Mandarin, Cantonese, Fujianese or even the Malay language!Outside of our favourite Chinese restaurant where my girlfriends and I always dined whenever I'm in town.
Chicken drizzled with orange sauce
Mantis shrimp with spring onions
Home-made tofu
Spicy Fish ( we asked the head to be excluded coz we did not want to traumatize our special guest )
Wong Tai Miu ( direct tanslation- King Vegetable Shoot ) with egg gravy
The most expensive dish on the table that were consisted of sea cucumber ( yummy!! ), fish maw, scallop, abalone, mushroom and squid.
Art was of course thrilled with our choices................NOT!
He was a hit with my girlfriends though...
Notice the empty dishes? My hungry girlfriends and I cleared up everything in sight! Errr....except the scallop shell
Walking back to the car ...................with my poor Art's tummy growling
Earlier in the day.......
Stopped by at my hometown's landmark, a leaning Pagoda-like tower that was built in 1885.
Local cops were intrigued by his presence in such a small town and asked to have pics taken with him. The first thing he asked them was, " Do you want me in handcuffs? " Cops didn't get his joke
Right after this pic was taken and when we were about to leave, they told us to wait a little while longer coz there were more cops ( like 15 of 'em? ) that wanted to have their pics taken with Art! Art had his 5-mins of fame and also had a taste of what it is like to be a 'celebrity'! I didn't have that pic in my phone coz I was roped in to be in the pic as well. My mission now is to retrieve that pic by going to the police station back in my hometown!
Art go bananas over bananas!
Art trying Chinese sweet tofu pudding or doufu hua for the first time and decided he didn't like it. He doesn't like anything 'tofu'
Art showed this pic to his family members and told them this is his 'MiMi' selling jackfruits He sure likes to jack around!
Oh! Wanna know what was his best purchase throughout his whole trip here?
Back-scratcher!
He nowadays Skypes with me while scratching his back ( effortlessly! )
