Elaine, being the 村姑 that she has, has never bought a branded bag and after a long consideration and discussion with her boyfriend, her boyfriend decided to buy her a branded bag. Actually branded bags are really durable (not the pirated ones). The price that you pay for, is really for the quality. Ask anyone who owns a Louis Vuitton and they will tell you that even after years, the bag is still in a good shape and the metal don’t rust, the leather doesn’t flake off so it is a bag that can be used for many many years.
We went to ION to check out Louis Vuitton, Miu Miu, Prada and Burberry. I told her not to buy Long Champ because I find the bag too common and it’s not suitable if you wear a dress and carry that bag. We then went to Takashimaya and looked at Fendi and Coach but nothing really caught her fancy. I walked till my legs almost gave way as the shoes I was wearing, the heels are too high so it’s causing me a lot of pain in my abdominal and legs. I quickly bought a pair of flats from Tangs and I was all ready to shop again.
After contemplating for a long time, she decided to get the bag from Louis Vuitton so we walked back to ION to purchase the bag. The salesman that I am familiar with ain’t working today so we just bought from a random salesman. The bag is really nice but it’s only suitable for petite people as the bag is small and the good thing about the bag is that, whether casual or dressy, the bag can fit the look so it’s a very versatile bag.
The happy Elaine
After getting her first branded bag, we went to Canton-i for dinner. I had lunch there once and I remember the carrot cake is really yummy which is why I suggested to Elaine to go there for dinner. She treated me to dinner as she wanted to thank me for accompanying her on her shopping trip so I got a free dinner… Yeah~~
The pork noodles that Elaine had. The noodles taste just like the kind of noodles that you would find in the local cafeterias in Hong Kong which is a little too crunchy for my liking…
XO Sauce Carrot Cake. My favourite dish of this restaurant and the best part is, they fry it with bean sprouts which is also my favourite. The carrot cake is really soft and moist so you can taste the sweetness of the carrot cake in them.
Bean Paste Chicken Wings. Frankly, it taste like those chicken wings that you can get from any stalls as they didn’t marinate the chicken wings enough for the taste to get to the meat. The whole chicken wing just taste bland more than anything else. FAIL!
Cam-whoring first!
My turn to cam-whore too~
