Dralion - Cirque du Soleil

Finally, we watched Dralion yesterday! I received a call from Cirque du Soleil last week informing that the show I have booked in September has been canceled, so we took a day-off to catch the show yesterday and go pak-toh-ing (dating).

Dralion was an amazing show; it's a truly entertaining and unforgettable experience! The captivating two-hour show combined the traditional circus acts with oriental acrobatic stunts, opera singing, theater and beautiful choreography. The mystical characters, colorful and dazzling costumes, live music and special lighting effects swept the audiences into a magical journey of the senses. The acts aside, we love the comedic antics to bits. The "clowns" were funny and delightfully hilarious, and they even put a plant in the audience, part of the Cirque Formula.

Here's the opening of Dralion taken from You Tube, similar to what we have seen yesterday. You can imagine how spectacular it will be to watch it live.



After the show, we decided to head back to Chinatown. Originally we wanted to dine at the Entertainment Quarter (where Dralion is staged) but there were not a lot of Asian choices. We ended up at Emperor Garden BBQ & Noodles in Haymarket, which serves one of the best traditional Cantonese BBQ/roasted meats in Chinatown.
