Christmas Day

Christmas day was fairly quiet. Dad worked a bit in the morning, we made some calls home and then we went out to lunch at a café called Bellagio. It was a more up-market type of trendy Chinese restaurant/café with some great food. We ordered yummy noodles, chili chicken, pepper beef and broccoli with rice. I had a snow pear juice to drink. It was all delish.

Afterwards I ordered red bean ice for dessert thinking it was quite small – when checking the menu I realised it was supposed to be a ‘small snack’ in and of itself! It was huge! Well – there was our Christmas cake!

Silly dad trying the red bean ice. Neil and I liked it . . .
We then did some DVD shopping before heading home for some r&r and then heading out for a couple of beers at one of the ex-pat local bars. Of course we then ate again at an Italian restaurant which again had some great food -–are you beginning to see a pattern of our activities in China?!!
