Before covid time, overnight booking girl in booking joint already cost more than 2 juta, let alone today in this coming CNY 2023.

Food and drinks no problem for me as i eat simple. Won't have much difference compared to non-CNY days.

I also eat in "VERY expensive" kelong restaurant around Love Sea food too, hehehe...

According to my friends, this is Love sea food, we are nearby but not there, hehehe...


I think this is the name of the Kelong Restaurant we ate in.


Complicated food for my friends who brought me there...


I only find the fried chicken tasted good tho, hehehe.... my friends find that the crabs weren't cooked the way they wants it to be, so the chef re-cooked them again, and becomes like the below.


Too bad, no bread bun aka man tou to go with it.

Anyway, the bill stated below for that VERY expensive "complicated food", hehehe....4 person were on the table eating tho.


I do not recommend anyone to eat here, hehehe....as this isn't my kind food. They taste nice but well...took them almost an hour to drive me there just to eat food meant for "diety god" during my grandparent's generation festive time (joking).

Other than the chicken and vege, the rest of the food on the table were fresh "live" food. Meaning they were killed only upon our ordering.

If ferries will not be full, it will not be because of the increased fares, but for all other costs on the island.
Agreed with this point after reading it a few more times.
