West Lake

This is my 3rd time going to Hang Zhou, and we were lucky enough to be staying right next to the lake. Also, this time, they have an hourly water fountain and light show! So we spent a lot of our time staying in the hotel, enjoying afternoon tea while watching the water and light show :)

This is a funky restaurant right by the lake. Serving local dishes paired with light electronic music. It opens around 11am but within half an hour, there was a minimum half an hour wait. No matter at what time we passed by this place, there was always a huge crowd waiting outside. The name is really cute - The Grandma's and the menus was in the form of a magazine. I can see why this place was super packed, mainly because the price was decent and the portions were huge. Our hungryselves accidentally ordered these amount of food and we pretty much finished all of them!

Let's see...from top left, we ordered the potato and mushroom hot pot, spicy and sour vege fish, pickled radish, dessert (red bead, mango, lotus seeds and sticky rice ball soup), garlic pork slices, spicy cold noodle and lotus root stuffed sweet sticky rice.
