What I learnt today

That to enjoy a nice Chinese Lunch at a Chinese Restaurant in Greater China, is always best to let the Chinese people to choose for you (oh, yes! so much better) ,

sauteed mushrooms

that a Lunch, always tastes better when shared with friends; either old or new ones,

Hainanese Chicken

that the city of Penang, Malaysia is classified as World Heritage City by the UNESCO (and one city I definitely must add to my to visit list, specially since my friend E is from there! ),

braised chinese cabbage and HK milk tea

I also learnt that Asians likes to add plain syrup to their cold drinks instead of just plain sugar (otherwise you can feel the sugar grains...and that's not so good),

fried noodles with meat

that chrysanthemums tea is good for balance the heat in your body,

dou fu fa

that tofu is good for your health (well, I already knew that) but local, homemade silky tofu with ginger syrup (dou fu fa) is good for your soul,

serving tofu a la minute

oh, I also learnt that I can actually, have a proper, conversation on français,

Most important, while I was walking back home, enjoying a barely perceptible wind caressing my face and playing with my hear; holding in one hand the precious dou fu fa and dòu nǎi (soy milk), from the Tofu Lady (I just have decided to name her like that) and my camera on the other,

tofu almost ready

I learnt that I feel home here. In Macau.
Who would thought that?.
