I just came back from my awesome outing with my family. We went to the East Coast Park to cycle! We set off at about 3pm in the afternoon when the sun wasn't that hot. As usual, we took our mum's car to our destination. Within minutes, we have already reached the car park. The moment i got off the car, a gentle cool breeze blew upon my face. After making sure that we have prepared everything, we proceeded to the bicycle rental shop. Seeing all the sleek bikes being displayed, i waited with anticipation as my parents rented the bikes for us. When we got on our bikes, we had some trouble stabilizing ourselves as we haven't gone cycling for quite a while. As we slowly regained our balance, we set off to the area nearer to the beach so that we can get a look of the wonderful scenery there. Ah, the shimmering blue sea under the bright golden rays of the sun..the sound of the navy blue waves crashing against the rocks was music to my ears. We enjoyed the glorious scenery as we cycled. When it reached 6pm, we returned our bikes and decided to grab a bite near East Coast Park. No, we didn't have Macdonalds. Instead, we went to a Hong Kong restaurant named 'C Nai Hong Kong Cafe'. We decided to patronize this restaurant as we have never tried it before. Upon entering the cafe, we were greeted by the waiters with warm smiles. The cosy atmosphere was also very comfortable. Soon, the waiter brought us to our seats and we looked through the menu. Wow, everything on the menu looked delicious. If only i could order everything.
However, I ordered the cheesy baked fish fillet & ham rice. I am a fan of baked rice as you can see. My sisters ordered a plate of authentic Hong Kong prawn noodles to share. My mum ordered a plate of fish and chips with mustard sauce while my dad ordered a Char grill fish fillet. Looks like we like fish fillets pretty much. For the sides, we ordered a plate of 'Sichuan deep fried spicy crispy chicken' and a plate of 'golden deep fried squid with crispy cereal'. We ordered a few ordinary drinks. My baked rice was just perfect. It was loaded with cheese, the ham was abundant, the fish fillet was fresh. We had a fantastic dinner there and would definitely go there again. After that we walked back to the car park and got on my mum's car. As we were on the way home, i though about the happy moments i had today with my family. Ah, how i hope we could have these kinds of outing more often!
