Sheffield and Manchester

On the 26th of February, me, Jimmie, LY, Terence and WK went on a 4 day trip to Sheffield and Manchester. We took a long 7 hour bus ride and upon reaching, everyone was so hungry our host TM brought us to this place called Noodle Inn which serves extremely nice chinese cuisine!!

After filling our stomachs we went for a tour around sheffield and took these nice pictures...haha...

Sceneries of Sheffield

On the next day, we took the train to Manchester

 

The weather in Sheffield is much colder and windy compared to Glasgow, look at Terri's hair! haha...

We then went to Manchester's Chinatown and had dimsum for lunch, everything was half priced!!

Chinatown!

Dimsum for half price!

After lunch, we headed to Old Trafford!! The main reason why we went to Manchester ;)

A successfull club is determined by the number of trophies won...

The many trophies won ;)

After Old Trafford, we made our way to Trafford Centre, a shopping centre larger than Mid Valley.

From Trafford Centre

With that, we called it a day and took the train back to Sheffield...it was one tiring day!!

Next morning, we followed TM to his uni and walked around

Sheffield University

Nasi lemak for lunch! Only 1.8 pounds

After lunch we proceded to Meadow Hall, another shopping centre in Sheffield, not much there, smaller compared to Mid Valley. Personally I think KL has the best shopping malls.

At Meadow Hall

Dinner was at a place called Aunt Sally, which serves good western cuisine where u can buy 2 for the price of 1. I ordered the mixed grill and it was so filling!

The next day, we stopped by at the winter garden before taking the bus back to Glasgow.

More Places To Eat In Glasgow

Asia Style, I've written about this place before, so check back on the details! Approx 6 pounds per meal

Kamasutra serves buffet lunch at 5.99 pounds. Very nice with lots of varieties of curries.

KFC!! Many say that the KFC in Malaysia is nicer, cause there's more flavour. The chicken here is not as tasty and kinda small and they only have original flavour. But...still nice to go once a while.

Pizza Hut has this buffet during lunch where you get to eat all the pizzas you crave for at only 3.99 pounds. Good deal yeah?

Star Walk is another chinese buffet restaurant. The only reason why we went there was because there was this promotion where two person get to eat for the price of one

Best Kebab serves the nicest kebab in Glasgow IMHO. They have lunch and dinner menus. The food during lunch and dinner is the same, just that you pay more during dinner. Hehe. One kebab costs around .....3-4 pounds. I cant remember.

Places to eat in Glasgow

Some of the restaurants i have tried in Glasgow...along with a brief description

McDonald...the first restaurant i went to when i reached Glasgow. Just like any other McDonalds, but they do serve some additional burgers which cannot be found in Malaysia. Price range around 3-4 pounds for a meal

Chukoku is the first buffet I went to in Glasgow. The food there are not really nice. Furthermore the food there are pretty salty. The pro is that they have lots of varieties. Almost 40 different dishes. Basically quantity but little quality. Not worth going. Pricing ranges from 7-10 pounds.

TGIF in glasgow is expensive but the food there is okay, I guess. When i went, the portion of the meal i ordered was very small! Okay to go for the experience I guess. With the buy-2-for-1 voucher, a meal would cost around 10 pounds.

Peking Court, along Sauchiehall Street is the best chinese restaurant so far, in my opinion. Excellent food but with quality, comes $$$...hehehe. Around 10-20 pounds per person depending on the number of dishes ordered.

Waxy O'Connors's crock of mussels comes with quantity and quality. A recommended place to mussel lovers. Price ranges from 8-10 pounds

Bombay Blue serves Indian style buffet. Not a bad place to try. Around 10 pounds per person.

Counting House is one of my favourites. A bar restaurant which serves western style cuisine, with different special themes at different days, eg. chinese food day, curry day etc and many different cocktails. The western platter is the best! Approximately 5 pounds per person. Cheap and nice! 

Europa is similar to counting house minus the western platter. With Snapfax, the price is around 6 pounds per person.

King's Lodge is the nicest chinese buffet so far in Glasgow. They serve prawns, mussels, peking duck, fish, char siew, and many other nice foods. 7-10 pounds per person.

Mussel Inn's crock of mussels is less than Waxy O'Connor's but they taste nicer and of course, they are costlier. They serve mostly mussels and scallops of different varieties. Around 8-12 pounds per person.

Bar Soba serves asian fusion food but the dishes there are not nice. Haha. With Snapfax, it costs around 5 pounds per person.

 

I've been to more restaurants but then sometimes i forget to bring along my camera...hehe...and if you're observant, you'll notice that my hair length grows with every picture.
