Christmas morning at Waterloo Street

Christmas Day morning was spent at Waterloo Street. Mom made her monthly visit to the Kwan Im temple and at the same time went to the Lady Boss shop at the Albert Centre to buy dry provisions.



People were making use of the holiday to visit the popular temple for prayers. It was pretty crowded though it was still early morning. Stalls were already starting to sell Chinese New Year goodies and ornaments even though CNY is some 7 weeks away.




The Albert Centre recently completed renovations and the place is as vibrant as before. Many old tenants have returned though a few have decided to retire. We noticed a number of new food stalls on the ground floor where the hawker centre and wet market are housed.



The dry provisions stalls are on the third floor. We have been frequenting Lady Boss for many years. The older folks, like my mom, love to go there for the dry provisions. Prices are consistently reasonable and the folks there are friendly and nice.



The lady boss herself will serve my mom and gives good discounts. Friendly and reasonable prices – two very important factors that make customers loyal.



Through the years, Lady Boss has grown and now occupies quite a number of units on the third floor.
