Cyrildene Chinatown, part 1






On Friday, we went along with Christine's driver and one nanny to go grocery shopping in Chinatown, apparently there are 2 chinatowns in Joburg, one is in the city that is too dodgy to even consider going.

Ike woke up on time and so he got to come along. Its about 30 mins away from dainfern and although we thought we would not buy much, while waiting for Christines nanny to stock up for their 3 to 4 weeks supply, we ended up picking more and more items. Here is Ike on the ramp going up and down while we wait for porpor to buy meat, ike in pram waiting for porpor to emerge from cake show (with Zhongzi, edd tarts, moon cake....), porpor also bought all sorts of chinese vege's, we think they are grown here.

Since porpor has been here I have gained 1.5 kgs. We had really yummy wanton mee the other day along with charsiew from chinatown and wanton from Christine. I was in heaven but porpor thinks the quality was really bad, some of us are desperate and happy for anything we can get. We may attempt a bad nasi lemak but it will be so good for the desperados like moi.
