Malaysian Food = Malaysian Delight

I think the food here is really tasty and it comes in big portions, they served very typical Malaysian food…! like, Nasi Lemak, Curry Laksa, Char Kuey Tiao….. and the atmosphere is more like a cafe than a Western style restaurant, but I it is nice to eat some like this!! =D

it is cold today!!! we need some thing's HOT!!!

it's freezing cold today!! >.<>

usually in cold day, people like to eat food that instantly warms their bodies, just like we do! =D

Food they served in Han Dynasty is fresh….this is also the reason why we like to come here and eat. Food they served in Han Dynasty is fresh and also the price are valuable ….this is also the reason why we like to come here and eat...

It’s worth!! Only pay 16.99pound and I can eat as much as I can….I already prepares my stomach to fill in all the foods…! =D

There is a playground at the garden. The swings, slides, see-saw remind me my childhood days..
