CNY alone...

there is practically no sign of chinese new year in brisbane..not unless u step into chinatown...since there was no one to accompany me, i went there alone today..


this is a kungfu performance by the shaolin kungfu group in brisbane. most of them are young kids and ALL are caucasians.

the sunday markets in chinatown was more lively this time and many aussies were seen buying the red and gold pig decorations.

this is a pig-shaped pouch..its so soft and cute i even thought of buying it for myself..all of them have a small pink ribbon on the side of their right ears..i didnt buy in the end though, its 7.20sgd!

this roadside thai style chicken satay is one of the biggest and fattest ones i have seen before..highly unhealthy though...




my lunch. bought from the same stall above. its a thai/laos delicacy and its made of glutinous rice, red bean and banana. banana leaves are used to tie it up tightly and then they are steamed. the beige thing u see in the pic is the banana..taste---a little sweet and sticky..you get sick of eating it after a while though...
