Walking down a lane called Memory

This was our unit at the students' apartments

The best fish & chips at the Quayside Sunday Market, tambah2x it's been ages since I had the authentic English ones complete with soggy chips and mushy peas...this definitely adds to my existing love-handles and muffin tops!

Tak tentu hala dibuatnya tengok second-hand English novels going at 3 for 5 pounds at the Quayside Sunday Market. Managed to hangkut 6 of them thick ones. Wished I could buy more than that tapi takut overweight bag, dah la naik Ryan Air. Dekat Hannover susah nak dapat English story books.

Since we put up a night at Premier Inn Manchester Trafford Centre which is very near to Old Trafford, singgah sekejap just to snap some pictures. We didn't go for the stadium tour sebab dah pernah masuk dulu2x. Hakeem sajer nak bagi Angah jealous coz Angah yang teringin sangat nak pergi.

We had this as dessert at the ice-cream shop Moonlight opposite the beriani place. This one is called faluda... vanilla ice-cream topped with rose syrup and pink cendol. A bit too rich for my liking but since it came highly recommended we had a go at it, share 3 orang. The various ice-cream flavours are good though, Hakeem loved his mint-choc chip flavour until he saw the bubble gum ones.

This truly is the best nasi beriani ever, way...way lagi sedap dari those served at the restaurants in Malaysia. The rice is so flavourful that makan sajer pun sedap. Having it with close friends like Hj Khairy and Rose and their family makes it more memorable. Restaurant dia Al Jazeera di Manchester kecik jer and very unassuming.

Abah habis hati catching up with his Surau and golf buddy Hj Khairy dari Subang Jaya and Mama with his wife, Hjh Rose.

Prices for seconds at these 2 factory outlet stores (Wedgewood/ Portmeirion) are amazingly cheap. If you have an eye for mixing and matching discontinued items/ slightly imperfect items you'll get a full tea/ dinner set at a steal. A Wedgewood soup tureen by Vera Wang that cost 150 pounds are priced at only 18 pounds but then you have to look for other pieces from a different design to complete the set. Rose and her daughter Hani memang pandai look for bargains and artfully mix-and-matched them.
