Lunch Meal at Union Farm Restaurant “Chee Pow Kai”

After receiving our project guide for CS3266, which is a 10 pages project guide with the same workload of CS3214, I’m totally blow off by the specifications required of us. A full project with only 2 members (Kelvin and Me). +_+! Its supposes to be a short and relaxing last semester.

Anyway, life is full of challenges and we have to eat before facing these challenges… So 7 of us, zm, kelvin, zw, wx, kenny, wq and me, decided to have our lunch at a nearby, In between Maju camp and SIM University, famous restaurant “Union Chee Pow Kai”. The restaurant is famous for the “Chee Pow Kai”,paper wrapped chickcn, which indeed is yummy. The only praise I have is for the Chee Pow Kai… Below are some of the problem which we felt…

  1. Price doesn’t match the quantities
    The price for our set meal, 6 person set meal, is $138, but the quantity is like for 4 people. 1 “Large” plate of fried rice for 7 people? It is only the same portion as I buy 2 packs of fried rice from other “zi char”. Too Little for us LAH! Ripped off !
  2. Overcharged food item
    3 plates of pickles which cost $6.00.
    Vinegar pig legs: 3 piece of meat plus 1 egg for 7 of us? Daylight Robbery!
  3. Basic food item doesn’t provide
    Have you ever patronage a chinese restaurant that doesn’t sell white rice? Union Farm restaurant is the ONE! We are forced to only buy fried rice!

If you are very rich and doesn’t feel like eating white rice, probably you can give it a try. As for me, it would be the first and last time there…

12 May 2008 in Sydney - Stanwell Park and Symbio Zoo

Symbio Zoo
Near Stanwell Park: Symbio Zoo

Today we actually planned to visit the Sydney city area such as the Darling Harbour, Chinatown and Star City (Casino), however, my 5th Aunt, Auntie Jasmine, and her husband, Uncle Allen, called and wanted to bring us out for a tour. So we decided to cancel our plan and go out with them. The first place we went to is the Symbio Zoo which is located near Stanwell Park. (don’t really know where is it)

Below are some of the photo we took there

After the 2 hours tour in the zoo, Uncle Allen bring us to one of his favourite location. The Bald Hill located at Stanwell Park. It has one the best coastline sceneries Sydney and we are amazed by the spectacular view of the endless ocean line and the Princes Highway.
