Can you imagine the shock on our faces when the first dish came out? We ordered 3 lobsters with noodles cooked in cream and cheese sauce and even asked for extra cheese but we didn't expect the plate to be that big.
I was even more amazed when we managed to finish. Hahahah. But wait, there's another 9 dishes to go!
From steamed fish, fried prawn coated in batter with salted egg, to scallops and kang kung. I was more amazed that we managed to finish even our sago and yam dessert. Good job people.
The BIG eaters.

Sunday: Camden Market
Even on the tube journey here, I've already come across people who are dressed up differently. On arrival, I was greeted by these weird looking shops with 3D designs on them.
Camden Market is made up of a few different markets and I could have gotten lost but thanks to PP who's been here before, she brought us around and we didn't.
First stop at Camden was to Yam Cha, for us to refuel our stomachs before exploring the place. This restaurant is highly recommended for Dim Sum in London. However, on our way there......
M googled on her BB and apparently the shop is closed on Sunday! Oh no. But we decided to just go there and take a photo of the shop....but guess what. The shop was opened!
Yum Cha
The environment inside was really nice, with walls decorated with rattan designs and we were lucky to get an empty table. The place did fill up really fast after we sat down.
Delicious Dim Sum. I have a feeling that I will miss the Dim Sum in the UK once I go back. Apparently the Dim Sum here is nicer than back home. I'll have to taste for myself when I'm back. Y3 recommended the duck tongue dish which all of us tried. It was spicy and cold, with a bit of bone. Very different but I think it would be nicer if it was pipping hot. Overall, the Dim Sum here is good and the price is reasonable.
The 4 visitors to Camden.
M and PP
We got bored at one point and started folding our own chopsticks holder. Match the chopstick holder to its owner. Hahahah.
Deep fried custard bun is a must. I like the custard buns here as the filling is not too sweet and the bun itself is not too thick. Delicious.
First market which is just opposite Yam Cha is Stables. Even the entrance itself is impressive.
There were lots of bronzed statues of workers making horse shoes, horses and carriages all over the place.
My big horse.
More horses and carriages.
There were lots of shops selling clothes and nik naks everywhere.
I really liked the layout of the place as it makes the market seemed like an amusement park instead.
Time to rest our tired feet.
Another place to rest.
You won't go hungry here. There's food from all over the world.
Riverside. There were loads of people just chilling along it.
Food stalls...
and more food stalls.
Camden Lock Market. We even met a Malaysian stall owner selling accessories there.
The famous motorcycle eating place.
I think they're real recycled motorbikes.
Belgian chocolate waffle on the way home.
Another view of the riverside.
It is always this crowded every single day.
I thought we would have headed home straight after the last picture of Camden, but we found the Aldo shoe shop which was offering extra discount on top of discounts. The 4 of us were the last ones to pay and leave the shop with at least a bag each. Hahahahah.
Waiting for the tube home.
We were greeted with Sarawak Laksa, thanks to H who specially prepared it for us. Yummy! This is what I call life.
Next up is, London Part 4: Theatre overdose with Les Miserables
