beifangren comes to nanfang - day 2

if you get unlucky, it will rain the whole day; and everything that you have planned for (and even those which you have not), you might not opt to do anymore.

we started the trip to shenzhen at around 11:30am. while hopeful that the rain will stop, i expected that it might last a bit longer than usual. after all, we are nearing the dragon boat festival. i, however, did not expect that it will last forever..hehe! christine and I were not able to do anything at all.


so, making the most out of the situation, we decided to head to diwang plaza. we went to starbucks for a quick refreshment. i had a dark mocha frappucino.

the taste is rather familiar - very much like rhumba frappucino (aww, why was it phased-out actually?!?). haha, i bet you see the big raindrops, no matter how blurred they are, on the upper left of the photo; that's how heavy the rain was.

and after an hour of waiting for the rain to stop (well, it never stopped anyway), we decided to head to jollibee shenzhen! yup yup!






as advised by manong manager, they have changed the menu and the taste of the foods to suit the Chinese palate. well, it cannot be that different, i thought to myself. it was only when i was already pigging-out on my spaghetti and chickenjoy that i realized these are not the Jollibee foods i craved for every sunday when i was a kid! cannot blame them though. shenzhen is not like hongkong where the number of filipino patrons alone can sustain the business. the shenzhen branch has targetted the Chinese market more, i guess.

angal ng angal, ubos din pala! nyahahaha!

when i was still in the Philippines, my jollibee food trip would not be complete without having ube-keso ice craze. however, as that was not on the menu, i settled with halo halo instead.


not that it comes close to what i would usually have in the philippines; but i enjoyed it a lot - each and every "sahog" of it..
