Shum Shui Po - Oi Man Sheng (深水埗 - 愛文生)

Eating has already become one of my hobbies. It's always a joy to gather and have a big fat dinner. Last weekend, a few of us went to Shum Shui Po's Oi Man Sheng to tried out this Dai Pai Dong. Shum Shui Po is definitely a place I do not visit often, but I am glad we get to explore together. Since I am not too familiar with Shum Shui Po, we got lost and it took us 10-15 minutes to find the restaurant. It was pretty packed when we arrived, but luckily someone just left and we got ourselves a corner table.

First reaction when I saw the table - WHY IS IT SO DAM WET? Don't they clean tables? Well, but I should expect this at the first place since it's DAI PAI DONG.
Next, a waiter came over and "threw" this red plastic sheet and said "HELP YOURSELF"
Now I understand why the table is wet so it will be sticky and the table cloth won't move around. Pretty smart.
pictures speak louder than words. we all enjoyed the dinner.

Are you looking for fabrics?

Because of a recent freelance job, I had to go to Shum Shui Po (深水埗) to look for fabrics for my designer to create her upcoming collection. Shum Shui Po isn't somewhere I will go often because first it's FAR and also, there is nothing to do there. Spent 2 hours walking from store to store to check out fabric. Then I realize it's tough to be a designer. Imagine there are so much going on behind a simple T-shirt. From sourcing the fabric, to choosing the the right material, from designing the right print to the printing method.. bla bla bla.. etc etc etc. When I was checking the fabrics today, I almost FAINTED because there were way too many options. Even though a lot of them look/feel similar, but they are totally different. After today's trip to Shum Shui Po, I gotta say I am going to pay more attention to every piece of my clothing. Gotta respect the designer!
