Birthday Dinner

A few weeks ago my friend Angela took me shopping.  We went to a new mall in town and then to a restaurant.  It was a Hong Kong restaurant and they served these famous buns called Pineapple Buns.  I'd never had them before but I didn't expect too much.  When I saw them I thought they would be the typical steamed bun that is served all over China.  Boy was I wrong.  They were amazing!  Served hot with a big slice of butter that you place inside them.  I couldn't stop thinking about them!  Lucky for me my birthday was coming up so I convinced Kyle take us out for my 'birthday'.  Really I just wanted some more bread and butter! :)
 This is the new mall and there is a huge cinema on top of 7 floors of shopping and restaurants.  Then there is a twin tower that is a hotel.  Rumor has it that a super rich business dude here in Huzhou has two daughters and he gifted them each one building.  Not sure if that is true or not, but that is quite the gift!




 These are AMAZING!  The top is like a crunch strudel of some sort and it is actually sweet, which is hard to find in our area of China.  SO good!  And the butter is real, also a rare find here.
 Overall the food was amazing!  The girls ate like it was their last meal :)
 We had to end the mall experience with ice cream.  We could only walk past so many ice cream places before Kyle broke down and used the kids to get himself some ice cream :) 
After eating we had to run to the grocery store because we had a toilet paper shortage.  This can easily turn into a crisis with so many small people using the bathroom.  Remind me never to complain about the grocery store at home being 'busy' again!  It was insane!  This reminds me why I never shop here at night!!!!  

 No training wheels!!
 This kid is a monkey!
 I am always finding her in trees now.

 She wants to do everything that her big sisters do.
