Beijing Roasted KFC

       Lunch was wontons again.  Hot soup on a hot day is not my idea of good eats.        
       Another boiling day, the kids have been pretty good being cooped up, but we need to get out.  My father-in-law suggested a new market across the street from the Carrfour.  I told him it looked expensive.  No, no he hadn’t been there, but it has many prices.
      Well it’s too hot to go to a park, we need to be inside, so walk around a big mall we will do.  It was 2 basement levels and 7 above levels.  We find the kid level and walk around there first.  Not really kids my age, but 5 years ago age.  All types of stores for “kids” to get there energy out via kungfu classes, dance classes, gym classes, music classes, learning abc, roller skating, race track time, baby to young toddler clothes, and 2 toy stores with a few legos.
         I did peek at a few stores prices and as I expected expensive.  I was right this was a mall not a market.  (Market implies it’s where you go to haggle or shop cheap).  We went up to the food court levels 6 & 7.  Huge open area, possibly considered art.  We walked around and got some DQ.  Several super cute restaurants I would totally love to eat in, Japanese cute decor is the only way I can describe it.  Boys vetoed it.  One place said “The Okinami Experience” with a picture of a tanuki.  But it wasn’t open, and I couldn’t tell if it was on it’s way out or in.
         I didn’t see any need to keep walking around this mall.  On the 2nd level it said the glass had electric shock to deter you from reaching over to look down  to the basement levels.  We walked half a block to Carrfour.  The boys wanted the good rotating sushi place but said it was too early to eat.  So we walked around a bit.  Now there was a line at the rotating sushi place.  So we went to KFC, Aidan wanted to try their Dragon wraps.  The Dragon wraps ended up being KFC’s version of Beijing Roasted Duck(Peking Duck).  They had fried chicken instead of duck, but same sauce, cucumber and onion all in a wrap.  Definitely not as good as the real deal.
        We picked up icecream on the way home.  I got mango this time, very good.
        Shortly after bedtime but before sleep, one had a waterfall of a bloody nose.  He said maybe too much chocolate?  He did have 2 chocolate ice creams today.  I’m surprised it didn’t happen sooner with all this heat.
