VIP Class Notes (Jesse) [W]

Last Sunday one of my friends came to see me, and She wanted to use my massage card. After she finished massage we decided to have dinner together. I asked her what did she wants to eat, and she said she didn’t want to eat western food, but all around my place were western restaurants or Japanese food. I said there weren’t good Chinese restaurants around here, then we walked on the road and thought about where we went to eat. When we passed one block I said we can go to CrystalGalleria to have a look. When we arrived there, there was a signboard near the escalator. We looked it and found they were many restaurants on the third, the fourth and the fifth floor. We went to fourth floor directly and I even found a Shandong restaurant, so we went to there to try, the dumplings were good but the other foods were salty. When we finished I suggested to look around this shopping mall to check if there were other restaurants we wanted to try next time. It’s amazing and we found several restaurants we would like to try.
