Nearly Nativity

The coming Monday was the winter solstice, so many stalls at the OUG morning market sold tang yuan desserts, or tang yuan dough (which is actually just kneaded glutinous rice flour with colouring). Mum bought neither as she would be making it from scratch on Sunday. After we got home from the market, I took mum to Midvalley Megamall for some last minute Christmas shopping and to get a look at the Christmas decorations. I did most of my Christmas shopping online, but mum didn't have the chance to get anything with the constant babysitting due to my sister and BIL's busy period at the office.  

Before starting the presents hunt, we had lunch at Eatz @ Hong Kong, the first restaurant we saw upon entering the mall. When it's a late lunch, one should never be too picky. Liked their stir-fried seafood pasta, and ice bath yinyong. A tad expensive though. Mum did manage to get gifts for nearly everyone on her list. Never an easy task. Many had the same goal judging by how long the queue at the gift-wrapping counter was. And all the toy shops, and beauty products shops were thronging with customers, not characteristic of their usual sales volume. 

A wrong turn while heading home helped us determine our dinner venue. Since we were at Jalan Gasing, we ate chicken rice at Ipoh Chicken Rice 1977. Would have went to their competitor at Restoran Satelit, but a friend says that it's better to visit during the day.
