Infos is attached in the end of this post....happy reading!!
*******
London trip started by reaching London Liverpool Street by Stansted express
Once we reached the airport...
We decided to take a express train instead of a bus to london main city...
It's save up more than 1 hour and it doesn't cost much different...
I'll let this rolls of picture to speak....
*******
1]London Liverpool Street Main Train Station
*didn't manage to take picture in the train...I was sleeping.. :)

2]This is a busy scene in the underground tube station
*rush rush rush, squeeze squeeze and SQUEEZE mate!
By taking the tube, atlast we reach out 1st destination


3]This is the famous Piccadilly Square with the neon screen
*peoples is performing some street show
FYI : Piccadilly junction was actually joint 5 main street in London
Just right after we check-in to our dorm,
we came out right immediately to look for FOOD..
And we decided to go to Chinatown to look for some roasted duck??
It's been 5 month eating sausages and salad??OMG...
it's just so happy to see the street and stomach is scrolling hard..


4] Front view of the street, with a traditional red and green arch
*you can see roasted duck everywhere hanging infront of the glass .
*stomach scrolling*
It's just making you wanna grab it and tear it off with your teeth..keke*

5]Presenting Traditional Chinese Dance @ Chinatown
in order to get enough money for our ROAST DUCK!!haha..ROFL



HAHA...after 2 hour dancing,atlast we got enough money for food...
we were covered by sweat, tired, HUNGRY....i was joking..keke
We are just too hungry and forgotten to take picture of the food again!!!!SH!T
Actually we really order alot...
Food we have :
2 portion DimSum
2 Fried noodles(big portion)
quater of roast duck
Overall taste is really satisfied me,as well for Wilson..

6] The corner view of the restaurant.
*Restaurant Golden Pagoda

7] Picture with the 2 lion statue(pi yau)
This lion statue have a special meaning for chinese society..
it help to bring LUCK and take away those SUI(bad)....
*anyone saw my stomach like bursting adi??haha

then we just bumped into Uniqlo.UK...
and guess what...i bought soemthing again..haha....

10] Mushroom head with 2nd pick up!!keke
11]Training start at Nike Town.uk.....left right left right
12]The Carnaby Street..
*A MUST visit place when you're in London..

One of the reason that you must visit Carnaby Street is their FOOD!!
This is a Chinese noodles bar with a modern open kitchen style...
They are just serving ordinary wonton mee, 'real' maggi goreng..etc etc..
the main attraction is the atmosphere and the simple food they served.....
Restaurant name : ChaCha Moon
Location : On Carnaby Street opposite the beer lounge

13]Their paper table lining which placed on every individual seat
*just a plain simple red colour with little design...nice!
We had been there for 3 time for the entire 3d2n trip...
this show how good is this restaurant...make us go back again!!
Price was reasonable and the taste was totally similiar to our chinese food!!

14]Breakfast La Mian-
with battered fried mushroom, a piece of crispy pork belly
and the sunny side up!!!BUT it's not chicken egg...it's DUCK egg!!!
*The taste was really good and well presented..
The only thing that I dislike is the egg was frying too long on the pan and created the hard edges...overall was really really good!!
15]Special Smoothies with - Banana, Green Tea, Soya Milk, Coconut Milk, and Pandan!!
*really yummy*what a wonderful combination....
not too thick and disable to suck, not too watery..Just so simple!
After the energitic breakfast....we head to Hyde Park for a free tour!!
Gathering place was around this Wellington Arch..
This repeat on everyday at 11.am & 4pm...
This 2 and half hour walking tour mainly covering all main sites in the city...
Such as Big Ben, Houses of Parliament, Changing of guard @ Birkingham Palace
